Great outcome... 24 Jun 16

The junkee team deserved this… so many old school media companies tried to get their head around what Tony, Neil and the team had created and failed to do so.

Is great to see a strong exit for a homegrown content business to a media company that has momentum.

I’m surprised that so many men are mentioned in this article. Junkee and Ooh take note.
