US firm Diversified Communications has acquired Mumbrella for an undisclosed amount. Tim Burrowes, who co-founded the marketing and media website in 2008, said he planned to continue in his role as content director, and that the price that Diversified Communications had paid for Mumbrella was "good", but not enough to take early retirement on. Mumbrella generated revenue of $A7 million in 2016-17, allowing it to make its first $A1 million profit, and it is believed Diversified Communications paid around $A8 million for it. Mumbrella makes most of its money from trade shows, and Burrowes says Diversified Communication’s ownership of it will help it to grow that side of its business.
