Absolute Sports Acquires Majority Stake in Pro Football Network, Expands Reach in the U.S. Sports Media Market

Absolute Sports Acquires Majority Stake in Pro Football Network, Expands Reach in the U.S. Sports Media MarketAcquisition bolsters Absolute Sports’ presence in the U.S. Adds leading NFL media publisher with 5 million unique monthly active users to its portfolio.

Absolute Sports, the parent company of Sportskeeda and one of the world’s leading providers of sports news and analysis with over 76 million monthly active users, announced today that it has signed definitive agreements, subject to closing conditions, to acquire a 73.27% stake in Pro Football Network LLC, a premier source of coverage and analysis of the NFL and college football. This marks the first acquisition for Absolute Sports in the U.S. sports media market as it looks to bolster its existing user base and offerings in the U.S. The all-cash transaction includes a primary infusion of capital and secondary stock purchases. 

With more than an average of 5 million unique monthly active users, Pro Football Network is widely recognized as one of the best NFL-focused sports sites in the country. Its in-depth coverage of the NFL, including unique content and tools aimed at fantasy football users, will add value to Absolute Sports’ existing portfolio of sports media brands. The acquisition will help both companies derive synergistic value, enabling extended coverage from the U.S.

“We are thrilled to welcome Matt and the entire team at Pro Football Network to the Absolute Sports family. This is our first step in building a portfolio of sports media brands, deeply focused on the largest sports markets in the U.S.,” said Anirudh Kumar, Chief Strategy Officer of Absolute Sports. “PFN’s highly engaged and passionate user base of football fans will be a great complement to our other brands, including Sportskeeda, which already have a large user base in the U.S.”

“We are confident that by replicating our hyper-growth playbook across our family of brands, we will continue to deliver outstanding experiences to sports audiences and build a dominant position in the U.S. sports media landscape,” Kumar said, highlighting Absolute Sports’ commitment to expanding its portfolio via more aggressive M&A and replicating its success across all brands.

PFN was founded in 2019 by its current Chief Executive Officer, Matthew Cannata, and Chief Administrative Officer, Aaron Sutton. The company’s relentless focus on quality content across different mediums, along with the release of its Mock Draft Simulator in 2020, has fueled its growth and has helped make it one of the top three sites for NFL news and analysis in the U.S. according to SimilarWeb rankings of January 2023.

“This is a huge day for Pro Football Network. For quite some time, we were looking for the perfect partner and Absolute Sports is just that,” said Cannata. “Their strategic investment and the resources they will provide us will change the football media landscape and allow us to compete on a global level with the biggest brands across the world.”

Frownies, Industry Leader in Beauty and Skincare, Shares the Secret to Centuries of Success in Celebration of Women’s History Month

Frownies, Industry Leader in Beauty and Skincare, Shares the Secret to Centuries of Success in Celebration of Women’s History MonthFrownies, Industry Leader in Beauty and Skincare, Shares the Secret to Centuries of Success in Celebration of Women’s History MonthFrownies, best known for the wrinkle-smoothing Frownies Facial Patches, attributes recent viral growth to 130-year history of personalized customer service.

Frownies Celebrates Women’s History Month

Frownies, the home of the iconic wrinkle-smoothing facial patches, is celebrating Women’s History Month by sharing their secret to success – personalized customer service that has been passed down over five generations of women.

Margaret Krosen invented Frownies in 1889 for her daughter Alice, a concert pianist and a model. After many hours of sitting at the piano furrowing her brow in concentration, Alice had started to develop eleven lines between her brows. The concept of Frownies Facial Patches was born – weighted paper patches with a water-activated adhesive that create a cast to hold the facial muscles still, allowing the overlying skin to lay flat. Women from Broadway to Hollywood used Frownies to soften and smooth wrinkles and fine lines. Now, Frownies is the number one non-invasive alternative to Botox®

In 2020, Helen Morrison, the great-great-granddaughter of Frownies’ inventor Margaret Krosen, joined the Frownies’ team full-time as Director of Brand Strategy. As the face of Frownies across social media platforms, Morrison has quickly taken Frownies Facial Patches viral. With 225 Million views on TikTok and over 13,000 five-star reviews on Amazon, Morrison has led the brand to exponential growth through her transparency and accessibility across social media platforms. 

Frownies Facial Patches have always been marketed by word-of-mouth,” Helen says. “Now we are using the modern-day ‘word-of-mouth’ – social media – to continue our grass-roots marketing.” Morrison goes on to share that Frownies’ secret to standing out beyond the viral TikTok videos and Instagram reels is the individual interactions with their customers. 

“My great-great-grandmother would hand-write responses to letters from women ordering Frownies Facial Patches from all over the world,” Helen notes. “Now, if a customer sends a message on Instagram, I personally respond, often with a voice message. I am always happy to give application tips if a customer sends me a picture of their problem areas or the placement of their facial patches.”

Before many women were in the workforce, even before women had the right to vote, Frownies has been owned and operated by strong, independent women. Today, Frownies strives to maintain the personalized customer service that the Frownies’ customers have appreciated since 1889. 

ABOUT FROWNIES

Frownies, home of the Original Wrinkle Patch, is proud to be a fifth-generation, female-founded small business for over 130 years. Frownies, once called “Hollywood’s Best Kept Secret,” has gone viral as the #1 natural alternative to Botox® with over 255 Million views on TikTok.

Gonzaga men’s basketball team advances to their eighth straight trip to the Sweet 16 after ousting TCU last Sunday.

The release is supported by Zags Collective, the official Name, Image and Likeness (NIL) collective for Gonzaga student-athletes, powered by Blueprint Sports, the industry leader in full-service NIL collectives.

The “Timme 2k” line was designed in celebration of Timme’s recent career milestone, surpassing 2,000 points scored and making him the third player in Gonzaga history to earn this record. Timme is also the all-time leading scorer in Gonzaga history.      

“We’ve worked with Drew on various NIL partnerships and are really excited about this new line of collectible items,” said Matt Santangelo, former Gonzaga basketball player and General Manager of the Zags Collective. “As his collegiate career with the Zags culminates, we wanted to create a long-lasting and meaningful campaign that would make a mark in the history of Gonzaga athletics.”

In conjunction, Zags fans looking to make an ongoing commitment to Gonzaga student-athletes can become members of the Zags Collective and receive a bonus ‘Timme 2k Point Club’ t-shirt. This exclusive fan collectible will display Timme’s final points scored during his college career with the Zags, upon completion of the 2023 NCAA Tournament.

Members of the Zags Collective will also be eligible to win future premium Drew Timme autographed memorabilia. Membership levels start at $25/month.

“I am a big fan of the new “Timme 2k” brand concept and bringing it to all Zags fans,” said Drew Timme. “Gonzaga has been my home for the last five years and I couldn’t be more grateful for all the support from fans, alumni, and the Spokane community in general.” 

The limited edition “Timme 2k” collectible items and the bonus membership merchandise will be available for sale starting on Tuesday, March 21 at zagscollective.com.
