Di5rupt rebrands as Media Makers Meet – Mx3

Di5rupt has announced it will from now on be known as Media Makers Meet – Mx3 after incorporating media website and newsletter What’s New in Publishing (WNIP) into its ecosystem.

The international media intelligence and business network said the new name better reflects its commitment to “connecting international colleagues in media and technology with knowledge and one another”.

Media Makers Meet – Mx3 said its updated logo illustrates this commitment, with the X in Mx3 as two arrowheads symbolising convergence, connection and togetherness.

“We are committed to serving indie creators, consumer and B2B media, and their technology enablers and service providers. While we look at the broader media world for inspiration, we are particularly interested in those serving well-defined communities of interest,” Media Makers Meet – Mx3 said in statement announcing the rebrand.

“We do this through our events such as the FIPP World Media Congress, Mx3 Barcelona and Mx3 Berlin, in-depth reports, interviews and features and our Collectif community initiative.”

Media Makers Meet – Mx3 will continue its close cooperation with FIPP, including on events such as FIPP Insiders, selected reports and other content, and all FIPP’s commercial opportunities.

The rebrand follows the announcement in April that the network had acquired What’s New in Publishing to help develop its industry network and expand its digital business.
