Well gang, though rumors have flitted about from time to time over the past few months, I'm excited to officially bring big news to 3p's readers and partners. After months of increased collaboration, TriplePundit will be merging fully with Sustainable Industries.
Although you won't see any major changes for some time, our long term plan calls for the integration of our two websites and most importantly an exciting integration of our two teams. The word "synergy" is a bit of a cliche, but it's the most accurate way to describe what awaits us - a doubling of our core team, greatly expanded portfolio of reader offerings, and a general expansion of everything we do.
It's definitely an odd feeling, having built this site from scratch over an astonishing 6 years, and coming off our best traffic month ever (over 180,000 unique visitors in September!), but I think the result of this merger will create a potent combination of trusted brands and complimentary skills that we wouldn't have had on our own. Further, it will enhance our ability to pursue a shared mission: to create a new B2B media experience for sustainability thought leaders like you.
There will be a lot more information to come, but consider yourselves among the first to know. Please don't hesitate to contact our team with any questions or comments!
