At Endeavor Business Media—the Nashville-based company founded by former SouthComm CEO Chris Ferrell just two years ago—2019 is ending the same way it began: with a significant, acquisition-fueled expansion. Nine months after doubling its portfolio by acquiring more than 20 former PennWell brands from UK-based Clarion Events, Endeavor announced Monday that it has now purchased much of Informa Intelligence's industry/infrastructure and transportation divisions—a deal that will increase its employee base by approximately 50 percent.

A full list of the properties changing hands can be seen below, as provided by Endeavor: Endeavor says it now owns more than 80 print and digital media brands and 59 live events across at least 16 different industries, with more than 600 employees in at least nine corporate offices around the U.S. Asked whether the company anticipates any layoffs or redundancies as a result of this week's acquisition, a spokeswoman tells Folio: that Endeavor "will be bringing over all staff on the brands as they are structured today."
