Keynote Speech – Isaac Lee
summary
Univision converts a TV-focused Hispanic network into America’s largest digital media company in 18 months by buying targeted, profitable brands: Fusion (initially 50% then acquire 100% ownership), The Root, The Onion (plus ClickHole and A.V. Club) and the six Gawker properties (Gizmodo, Kotaku, Jezebel, Lifehacker, Deadspin, Jalopnik). Strategy centers on Fusion as the spinal cord, full control of revenues, audience scale moving from 8 million to ~65 million then ~100 million monthly uniques, diversity-first newsrooms and projects like the Rise Up As One border concert.
