Pedestrian TV and Allure merge, with Jason Scott to depart
Allure Media CEO Jason Scott is leaving the business, as it prepares to combine with Nine’s youth publisher, Pedestrian TV.
Staff at Allure Media – which owns titles such as Popsugar, Gizmodo and Business Insider – were informed this morning.
Jason Scott will leave the business
Jesus Christ, Pedestrian’s click bait hysterics x Business Insider should make for some interesting ‘synergies’.
Have been out of scene for a little while and have not caught up with Jason recently so hope that this was mutual. Jason is a bloody legend and great operator, onwards and upwards
Allure Media was a bunch of click bait / SEO / advertorial sites. No great loss nor legacy worth mourning.
