Carl Landau has officially sold Niche Media—the conferences and professional services network he founded over a decade ago to serve B2B, city/regional and special interest magazine publishers—to Second Street Media Solutions, a St. Louis-based provider of audience engagement software to marketers and media companies. Announced publicly on Tuesday, terms of the deal were not disclosed, but a news release noted that Niche Media "will remain its own independent entity" under Second Street's ownership. "I've known [Second Street co-founder] Matt Coen for over 10 years, and admire what he and co-founder Doug Villhard have built," said Landau, who will stay on at Niche Media, at least for a transitionary period, along with VP of marketing and programs Kristi Dougherty. "The big winners are going to be our Niche publishers. Second Street has the resources and expertise to develop incredible content, tools and events to help them generate more online revenue and grow their audiences."
