Jacobs Media

Jacobs Media is the parent company of leading travel and hospitality media brands including Travel Weekly, The Caterer, Aspire, Travolution and Connections. It was formed in August 2009 following the acquisition of Travel Weekly Group from Reed Business Information by travel industry entrepreneur and founder of car rental giant Holiday Autos, Clive Jacobs. With a reputation for transforming traditional and often obsolete B2B publications and pioneering new ways to connect and inform its audiences, Jacobs Media has developed a market-leading portfolio of brands based in London but with a truly multinational footprint spanning five continents. It reaches more than 10,000 people every year at its events, attracts over 650,000 unique users to its websites every month and has more than 275,000 social media followers across its corporate and team accounts. In addition to the market-leading brand for the UK travel industry, Travel Weekly, Jacobs Media acquisitions have included The Caterer (formerly Caterer and Hotelkeeper), the oldest B2B title in Europe with a 141-year legacy, and events including the British Travel and Hospitality Hall of Fame, the Agent Achievement Awards and the UK Sommelier of the Year Competition. It has also developed and launched a range of complementary events, exhibitions and products, including the luxury travel club Aspire; Connections, the invitation-only community and event specialist for luxury travel executives; the Global Travel & Tourism Resilience Council; and the Association of Touring and Adventure Suppliers. At the heart of Jacobs Media's impressive growth trajectory, expanding global footprint and thriving multimedia portfolio are its people and unrivalled content. Its editorial, events and digital teams offer unrivalled expertise and first-hand knowledge of the travel and hospitality industries, producing unique, high-quality insight and experiences which cut through the noise.
