quarter of its circulation in today’s Australian Bureau of Circulation monthly
mag figures, and APC, which made a marginal game, will join FPA’s stable of
tech-focused products which include Tech Radar and Australian T3. The deal also
includes all digital properties for the brands.Neville Daniels, COO of FPA, said: “APC and TechLife are
incredibly strong brands in the Australian technology sector – both engage
large, loyal audiences of tech-savvy, influential early adopters.“And both perfectly complement our existing portfolio. We’re
looking forward to working with their talented teams as we develop our
technology audiences across print, tablet, mobile and online, focused on
becoming Australia’s leading technology publisher.”
