The war for The Market Herald is not over
Welcome to a midweek edition of Unmade.
Today we focus on yesterday’s twist in the battle for control of The Market Herald, the parent company of ASX gossip forum Hot Copper, and more recently Gumtree, Carsguide and Autotrader.
If you haven’t checked out the website for out first conference RE:Made – Retail Media Unmade recently, it’s worth doing so. We’ve now published most of the program. The half-day conference is in just three weeks’ time. If you need to understand why everyone is talking about retail media, then take a look.
The Takeovers Panel gets involved
You don’t see many announcement from The Takeovers Panel involving media companies. I don’t remember seeing any over the last decade.

Tim, I know that you are perspicacious and can see things that others can’t. But I think that “Later I toured the TMH headquarters in Perth, in a prestigious office tower overlooking Elizabeth Bay.” is a bit of a stretch given that Elizabeth Quay and Elizabeth Bay are near on 4,000km apart. Chuckle, chuckle.
Hi Tim, love these articles and am loving Substack and Unmade. Just a quick note to avoid more notes from WA folk, it’s ‘Elizabeth Quay’ in Perth (or EQ if we’re being lazy), not ‘Elizabeth Bay’. Regards, Natasha
I should have known better! Thanks for flagging – duly corrected in the online version
