JMBM Represents Penske Media Corporation in Acquisition of Indiewire

JMBM is pleased to announce its representation of Penske Media Corporation in acquiring Indiewire, a leading online entertainment news source that has attracted a loyal following of filmmakers, industry leaders and fans of independently-produced movies and TV content.

“Indiewire has a rich history as one of the early innovators in digital media — I’ve long admired the company and its team’s dedication to informing and breaking the most essential news in independent film,” said PMC Chairman and CEO Jay Penske. “Bringing Indiewire into the PMC family is an exciting opportunity to further ignite a pioneering brand while advancing its coverage of the TV industry, digital, and emerging OTT platforms.”
