Morning Brew Inc.

Last week our Employee Resource Groups (ERGs) put on “Diversity Day.” It was a day chockfull of events and food, designed to bring all our communities together. From experiencing black history through VR, to a bachata dance class, to shabbat traditions in the digital age, to LQBTQ-themed trivia, and a dragon dance in honor of Lunar New Year. It was a beautiful day full of connection, learning and joy. As always, a massive thank you to our ERG Leads for putting on such thoughtful programming. 💙 #erg #companyculture #connection #community

A massive thank you to Dumebi Egbuna who spoke with our Employee Resource Group (ERG) leaders during their annual ERG Summit. Our ERG Leads put on thoughtful, engaging, and fun activities for the rest of MBI and are consistently thinking of ways to enhance what they put on. Dumebi, sat down with them to discuss just that - leveraging the 4Cs for strategic ERG programming: Culture, Career, Commerce, and Community. Excited to see all that they put on this year! #ERG #Companyculture #strategicprogramming

Today we share both bittersweet yet exciting news. A decade after co-founding and running Morning Brew Inc. as CEO, Austin Rief is moving onto other ventures. Austin Rief & Alex Lieberman built a pretty incredible business (if we do say so ourselves) and we are forever thankful for what they’ve done. With that, we are ecstatic to name Robert Dippell, currently COO & CRO, our new CEO. Devin Emery will be stepping up as President from his role as Chief Content Officer. These two have been a powerhouse dynamic duo in building out our multimedia and professional (B2B) business. Robert has specifically been instrumental in helping our business mature into a healthier, more profitable and more creative version of itself, and laying the tracks for a long road of further growth ahead. Today marks an extremely energizing new chapter in our journey to be the most engaging business media company in the world. 🚀 Learn more: 🔗 https://lnkd.in/gisuJvN3 🔗  https://lnkd.in/drz2BrQb

We're thrilled to share some exciting news and important leadership updates from Morning Brew. 2024 marks 10 years since Austin Rief and Alex Lieberman founded Morning Brew as undergraduates at the University of Michigan. What began as a single newsletter to educate their friends on the latest business news has grown into a diversified, successful business publication and digital media company. Today, we’re proud to announce that Axel Springer has increased its ownership position from majority shareholder in Morning Brew Inc. to sole owner. This sole ownership position furthers our company’s ambitions for strategic expansion into the American news business and investment in pioneering digital media companies. Alongside this transition, Morning Brew announced several leadership changes: ➡️ Co-founder and CEO Austin Rief will step down as CEO and transition to a new role as Executive Chairman, shaping the company’s future where he will continue to help guide the business through its next stage of growth as a trusted partner and advisor to the leadership team. ➡️ Robert Dippell, who previously held the role of CRO/COO at the company, has been named CEO effective immediately. Since joining Morning Brew Inc., Robert has been influential in improving the operations of the business—overseeing key departments such as finance, product, revenue, B2B editorial, and audience growth.   ➡️ Devin Emery has been elevated to President from his previous role as Chief Content Officer.

Some bittersweet news: I am moving on from CEO of Morning Brew. The last decade of starting and running Morning Brew has been the journey of a lifetime. Thank you to everyone who has read, listened, watched, or shared our content. This has only been possible because of you. Check out the email I sent the team this morning.

Big news today. Morning Brew Inc. is a once in a career opportunity for all of us who work here, and I could not be more grateful and excited to lead this team as CEO moving forward. Since arriving two years ago I've seen the company mature into a healthier, more profitable and more creative version of itself and we have laid the tracks for a long road of further growth ahead. The Brew is a unique case study for how B2C + B2B media can successfully operate under one roof and how the audience loyalty from a newsletter business can evolve into a thriving portfolio of events, podcasts, original video and data insights. We have earned a level of trust from our audience that is unmatched and we've successfully extended that relationship far beyond their inbox. Even as our core Newsletters see the highest demand in years and smash industry benchmarks. Our business is not dependent on any one platform, industry, product or audience segment. And what we do is hard. It's custom written, direct sold, filmed in-house, edited in-house, data targeted... type of stuff. Maximum value for readers and advertisers alike - in an efficient way that scales. In many ways, Morning Brew Inc. is already operating where the greater media industry hopes to one day go, and we plan to continue to widen that lead in the coming years. Congratulations to Austin Rief & Alex Lieberman for a hell of a 10-year run building this business and thank you for your trust and support. Congratulations to Devin Emery on your promotion to President as of today - couldn’t ask for a better partner. Thank you Jan Bayer, Patrick Wehrmann and Axel Springer leadership for this opportunity. To the rest of the MB team: Let's ride
