ZUM Zoomermedia Limited

ZoomerMedia Limited (TSXV: ZUM) (“ZoomerMedia”) announces that it has completed the acquisition of all the outstanding shares of The Peak Media Collective Inc. (PMC). Founded in 2020, The Peak serves busy Canadian professionals and business leaders with the top global business, finance, and tech stories of the day packaged in a smart, fast, and easily digestible format. The aggregate purchase price of $5 million is comprised of $3.5 million cash on closing and a $1.5 million promissory note.

The Peak’s flagship daily newsletter covers the biggest Canadian and global business stories and has a readership of 115,000 Canadians, predominantly affluent young professionals in urban centres who are actively in the market for financial products and services. Its personal finance newsletter reaches nearly 25,000 Canadians.

The Peak's podcasts—The Peak Daily, a 7-minute weekday news roundup co-hosted by Brett Chang and Jay Rosenthal, and Free Lunch featuring weekly deep dive interviews with prominent Canadian experts and policymakers—are downloaded over 100,000 times every month.

The Peak also reaches millions of Canadians monthly – 2.8 million in May 2023 – with fun, smart business news and content through its fast-growing platforms on TikTok and Instagram.

Said Moses Znaimer, Founder, CEO and President, ZoomerMedia: “Business news is serious business, but I’ve been a fan of The Peak’s lighter tone, packaged along with its concise content, since I first came upon it a while ago. I understand busy people and if The Peak can bring them, which is to say me, all the top daily finance and tech stories we need to know in less than 10 minutes, that’s a big idea with a big future.

This acquisition follows our recent additions of blogTO and The Daily Hive to ZoomerMedia’s roster of digital publications, and furthers our expansion into subject verticals that are most relevant to Canadians. Taken together with EverythingZoomer.com and our legacy television and radio properties, they amplify our ability to appeal to different generations through different platforms and genres.”

Said Brett Chang, CEO and Co-Founder of The Peak: "This is an incredible opportunity to supercharge The Peak's mission of becoming the go-to media outlet for modern business leaders and decision makers in Canada. Not only will Zoomer's resources allow us to grow faster and further than we could have alone, the opportunity to learn from and work with Moses will help take our operation to the next level."
