How TNL Mediagene Is Leveraging Acquisitions And Organic Growth To Become The Largest Media Tech Company In Southeast Asia
By Meg Flippin, Benzinga DETROIT, MICHIGAN - June 12, 2025 ( NEWMEDIAWIRE ) - Joey Chung, founder and CEO of TNL Mediagene (NASDAQ: TNMG), and Motoko Imada, co-founder and president of the company, were recently guests on Benzinga's All-Access. TNL Mediagene is a next-gen media company focused on Millennial and Gen Z audiences in Japan and Taiwan. The company operates 25 publications across news & business, B2B media, technology, lifestyle & food and sports & entertainment and has an engaged base of more than 45 million readers. In addition to its preemie content, TNL Mediagene also operates a robust AI-drive ad tech business that leverages the data it collects to enable brands to accurately identify and engage with the right audience. 'We are one of the largest independent media tech groups and soon we want to be the largest de facto one-stop shop,' said Chung. Unlike some of its rivals, TNL Mediagene owns the entire ecosystem from content creation to AI data collection and analysis, which Chung says gives it an edge over its competition. Chung also noted that TNL Mediagene is experiencing rapid revenue growth of 35% year over year. Roughly half of that comes from organic growth, while the rest is via buys. TNL Mediagene completes one to two acquisitions every year and plans to continue that trajectory for the next three to five years. Chung noted that the company is currently in talks with potential targets. Watch the full interview here: Featured image fromShutterstock. This post contains sponsored content.

New UFC champion Kayla Harrison describes 'surreal' celebration with Trump outside Octagon
UFC star Kayla Harrison described the "surreal moment" she celebrated her UFC title win with President Donald Trump. "I've had the honor and privilege of representing our country on the biggest stage for the sport and… I've been to two Olympic Games. At my first Olympic Games, President Putin was in the audience during my finals. … But I've never had the honor or privilege of competing in front of the leader of my country, and that was a special thing," the newly crowned bantamweight champion told "Fox & Friends" co-host Lawrence Jones on Wednesday. "I'm very proud to be an American," she added. "And anytime you get an opportunity like that, you'd better make the most of it." Ufc's Dana White On Why Fighters Gravitate Toward Trump: 'We're All Tired' Harrison defeated Julianna Peña on Saturday night at UFC 316 via submission to win the championship, leaving her mark on the sport and setting herself up for an epic fight against former champion Amanda Nunes. After her win, she stepped outside the octagon where President Trump, who was attending the matches that took place at the Prudential Center in Newark, New Jersey, greeted her and the two embraced. Read On The Fox News App She described her excitement at seeing Trump along with boxing legend Mike Tyson after the fight. Trump 'Embodies What Being An American Is All About,' Ufc's Dana White Says "The President of the United States is giving me a kiss on my cheek, and I'm like, holy (cow)," she said. "And then Mike Tyson is right there! I'm like, am I in a movie right now? What is happening?" Harrison put her championship belt on Trump's shoulder as the crowd cheered. The UFC champ said she attributes her success to her faith in God, especially during the difficult process of cutting her weight to 135 pounds before fight night. Reflecting on her accomplishments in the sport, she emphasized how grateful she is to live in a country that gives her the chance to follow her dreams. "We are very blessed to be Americans and to live as free citizens in this great country. If I was born 90 miles south in Cuba and I did judo I would make $28 a week. So that puts it in perspective for me, and it keeps me humble and there really is no place like home."
