Momentum Media widens portfolio with acquisition of defence platform

Momentum Media has acquired Defence Connect, giving the company a total of 19 media brands.

The acquisition and relaunch of www.defenceconnect.com.au sees Momentum expanding its stable of products away from professional services, finance and real estate, but director Phillip Tarrant, who will drive the development of Defence Connect, said the timing was perfect to enter the defence sector.

“2016 has been a watershed year for defence, with true commitment from the government to support capability enhancements, set a path to achieve this through the Defence White Paper and Integrated Investment Plan, while also highlighting the very important role the defence industry will play in helping Australia achieve its strategic objectives,” he said.
