- Future remains No. 1 for UK consumer tech audiences for the 19th consecutive month, with an audience reach of 12.9m**
- Future has taken the top spot in the Homes category
- Future’s Lifestyle portfolio ranks within the UK’s top 10 on Comscore
- The combined reach of Future’s Cycling titles positions Future as the UK’s leading publisher of digital cycling content
Future brands also achieved strong organic UK online audience growth of 45% year-on-year, and reached a total UK online audience of 33m***, driven by the company’s innovative content models, expertise in growing audiences and proprietary technology.
Zack Sullivan, UK Commercial Revenue Officer, Future plc, says: “These fantastic results reflect the strength of the Future portfolio, the quality of the individual brands and the exceptional work of our expert editorial and audience development teams. Reflecting our new scale following the TI Media acquisition, this set of results presents an exciting opportunity to connect new commercial partners with engaged audiences via premium, contextually relevant and brand-safe environments. As we enter Q4, we’ll be capitalising on the holiday shopping period and looking ahead to our expansion plans for 2021.”
