FAST COMPANY IN THE NEWS: Min, May 14, 2007

NEW "FAST COMPANY" EDITOR SAFIAN MADE TURNING DOWN $1 BILLION TOP PRIORITY...

Mark Zuckerberg is the American Dream. The Harvard dropout moves to Silicon Valley and launches the social networking site FACEBOOK.COM, which has 19 million registered users, and, per eMarketer analyst Debra Aho Williamson (ex-Advertising Age), is projected to accrue $100 million in revenues this year. That, and press accounts (The New York Times, etc.) reporting that Zuckerberg and partners had rejected a $1 billion offer for FACEBOOK.COM from Yahoo! made The Kid Who Turned Down $1 billion compelling for Fast Company, and it was on the May story board in late February when Bob Safian joined after successful Time Inc. stints as Money managing editor (1997-2004), Time executive editor (2004-2006), and Fortune executive editor (2006-2007).

INC. IN THE NEWS: Min, May 14, 2007

"INC.'S" JOHN TEBEAU BECOMES PUBLISHER--AND BECOMES A DAD.

Parenthood, of course, took nine months to "plan," as John and wife/Bausch & Lomb pharmaceutical sales exec JoAnn Tebeau welcomed son Jack--their firstborn--on May 6. (Folklore has it that a 5/6/7 birthdate brings good luck.) Career "gestation," happened much faster, as Inc. publisher Jayson Goldberg's move last month to Architectural Digest associate publisher led to Mansueto Ventures ceo/editor-in-chief John Koten promoting Tebeau to publisher on May 8 from national sales director (since October 2005). Two reasons for him to pass out cigars, and...double congratulations!

Mansueto Ventures in the News: Folio Magazine, March 20, 2007

Folio: Summit Keynote: Despite Online Competition, Magazines Still a Good Investment
By Marrecca Fiore

When Joe Mansueto purchased Inc. and Fast Company for $32.5 million in 2005, they were two publications long-neglected by their publisher. "The previous owners (Gruner & Jahr) had disinvested in the magazines," said Mansueto, delivering the morning keynote at the Folio: Publishing Summit in Chicago. "They had lost the trust of the advertisers."
