  • It's quite useful as a source, but I can't find any independent sources to expand or justify the separate article. I support the proposal by User:Cunard to merge and redirect it here. - Fayenatic (talk) 23:55, 24 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Might I please explain that I created a content page relating to the trade magazine Financial Director (magazine) because that is what appears to have happened for all the other Incisive Media titles that are registered with ABC. I really don't understand how Financial Director (magazine) differs from some of their other magazines (such as Global Pensions (magazine) and Inside Market Data, for example), each of which has its own page. Please may we have some consistency?—GrahamSmith (talk) 10:04, 25 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
If there is no evidence of notability from independent reliable sources, they should also be merged. It's a similar situation to various local newspaper titles which redirect to their publishers. - Fayenatic (talk) 13:28, 25 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

  • Information to be added:

The publisher sold its consumer computing magazine Computeractive to Dennis Publishing in 2013 [1] and launched sustainability brand BusinessGreen for professionals in the green economy. The following year Incisive acquired the licence to publish Channelnomics, giving it a platform to expand into the US and European IT channel markets. [2]

In 2015, Blenheim Chalcott and its portfolio company Contentive acquired Incisive’s interactive marketing division ClickZ, SES and SEW, plus financial brands Accountancy Age and Financial Director. [3]

In January 2016 Incisive sold the British magazine Legal Week to the US legal business publisher ALM. [4]The business reorganised into two main divisions, Incisive Business, containing finance and technology brands, and Incisive Insight, containing its Risk, insurance and banking brands.

A year later, in 2017, Incisive sold the Insight division to French publisher Infopro Digital. Executive team Tim Weller, Jamie Campbell-Harris, Jonathon Whiteley and Leighton Newbury led an MBO of the Incisive Business division and took it back into private ownership. [5] The business moved into a new headquarters in Covent Garden. [6]

In 2018, Incisive launched its performance marketing agency Incisive Works [7] and acquired international financial publisher Open Door Media. [8]In 2019, it launched boutique events agency Incisive Connect. The same year the business acquired the Financial Services Forum, a membership organisation for financial services marketers. [9]

Incisive’s sustainability brand BusinessGreen launched the inaugural Net Zero Festival in 2020 in response to the Covid-19 pandemic. [10]

@Robin Shute: Robin, I feel I have to turn this request down per WP:TMI. I find this long list of acquisitions and divestments highly trivial, that only bloats the article for (potentially) advertising purposes. My reasoning is based on the ratio of “volume of content focusing on acquisitions/divestments” vs “volume of content focusing on anything else”. Ferkjl (talk) 20:12, 8 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
