Momentum Media

Momentum Media is driven to creating Australia’s most influential media and professional development business across the markets we operate in. With a reach spanning over a million professionals, high-net-worth individuals and SME business owners, we’re connected to the rapidly changing preferences and attitudes of our communities – and we’re making a positive contribution for them to thrive. Momentum Media’s suite of brands help shape the direction of corporate Australia through delivering market intelligence, news, insights, leadership and knowledge across key market segments – ensuring organisations and individuals are better informed. Whether it’s defence, national security and space through to mortgages, financial advice, legal or accounting, our aim is to be peerless and to excel in all facets of our business. This vision empowers Momentum to set the standard that other media businesses admire and seek to emulate. And there’s a good reason why Momentum remains one of the fastest growing media businesses in Australia: we do media our way. We’re a trailblazing business that relishes challenge, change and opportunity. We’re not shackled to any form of communication and are driven by delivering essential content and intelligence to our audiences via the channels that they choose. This ranges from digital and mobile news and market intelligence, conferences and events, bench-marking, research and analysis through to broadcast, print, podcast, social and awards. We move forward with purpose and the belief that every activity that we engage in will be an evolution of our proposition and of significance to our target audiences. This is how we earn the trust and loyalty from our communities. And for over a decade it’s how we have set the standard that leads us in the integrity of what we deliver. While the way we engage our audiences continually evolves, our philosophy remains the same: challenge everything, fear nothing and drive forward with purpose.
