NEW YORK – Marketecture Media, the advertising industry’s most vital podcasting, content, community, and events hub, has secured a new $1 million funding round. Led by existing and new investors including David Rosenblatt, Rob Norman, Phil Fresen, David Hertog, Scott Messer, Jim Payne/Breakpoint Capital, AperiamVentures, and Momentum, the funds will be used both for organic growth and potential acquisitions.
2025 marked the company’s transition from a niche podcasting operation to a multi-faceted B2B powerhouse. Throughout the course of the year, Marketecture completed six M&A transactions of content and community sites, including the vital Adland.tv archive of TV spots and the vibrant Serial Marketers community of brand and agency executives. The company also hosted two sold-out Marketecture Live conferences, answering the industry’s call for in-person connection and impactful content. As a result, the Marketecture Media business grew 250% YoY.
“Marketecture was built on the premise that true experts are best placed to explain new concepts, new companies, and new ways of doing business,” said Jeremy Bloom, co-founder and CEO of Marketecture. “We started by doing this in podcasts and have since expanded to newsletters, video series, digital communities, and live events. It’s a rare combination of high-quality content, industry expertise, and human connection that is of clear value to the marketing and tech communities.”
The news comes at a critical time of transformation for both the media and advertising ecosystems. As legacy publications seek to fit the mold of modern B2B communication, marketing professionals face fierce disruptions from AI and the increasing power of tech giants, putting many of the industry’s assumptions into question.
“There’s a level of depth to content that you can only get by being an operator,” said Ari Paparo, Marketecture co-founder and host of the Marketecture Podcast. “Instead of defending legacy ways, Marketecture is leaning into the shifts, deeply covering pressing industry issues through its AI Marketers Guild community, policy wonk pod and newsletter The Monopoly Report, and the AI-powered news reader Maddb.ai. We’re in the business of educating the industry and talking to people who are actively making the advertising world better.”
In the year ahead, Marketecture remains laser focused on scaling its suite of products and event efforts. This includes the company’s flagship conference, Marketecture Live III, bringing 1,000 industry professionals together in partnership with ADWEEK and TVREV on March 10-11 in NYC.
