Den of Geek Joins Literally Media

We are in a golden age of the internet. That makes it easy for nerds everywhere to stay up-to-date on their geeky news. There are, of course, some sites that we favor because they seem to have the most thorough and entertaining coverage. Recently, Den of Geek has taken the next step in bringing entertainment news to the masses.

Literally Media is the home of brands like Know Your Meme, MEL, and Cracked. They have dedicated themselves to highlighting brands that focus on nerd news and humor. Their newest acquisition, Den of Geek, promises to expand on Literally Media’s already impressive lineups of audience forward media companies.

Oren Katzeff, CEO of Literally Media had this to say about the acquisition;

“We’ve admired Den of Geek for years,”…when I first started at Literally Media, I made a short list of long-standing legacy brands that I believed would be a perfect fit for our network, and Den of Geek was on that list from day one. They’ve built an incredible legacy, cultivated a devoted audience, and stood the test of time in a very tough media landscape, all while staying true to who they are. This acquisition marks our continued expansion beyond humor into premium entertainment, adding editorial depth, direct-to-fan reach, and robust monetization channels to our network. Den of Geek is more than an addition to our portfolio, it represents a major step forward in Literally Media’s evolution,” This acquisition strengthens our position in entertainment and fan culture, accelerates our move into live events and in-person fan experiences, and unlocks new opportunities. This is about thoughtful integration, making sure the team has the tools they need to grow, and ensuring Den of Geek remains the trusted, authentic voice in fan culture that audiences love, while helping Literally Media expand the way we connect with and bring joy to our fans.”

Founded in 2007, Den of Geek has grown into a trusted voice in the entertainment space. With a passionate global audience and respected editorial voice, the brand has become a staple for fans across the spectrum of pop culture. As the media landscape continues to evolve, the Den of Geek executive team recognized the opportunity to partner with a like-minded company to continue its legacy and expand in a meaningful direction. Literally Media plans to preserve and amplify the Den of Geek voice through a collaborative, growth-focused integration. No layoffs are planned. Katzeff emphasizes that this move is about building on Den of Geek’s strong foundation, not replacing it.

“For us, this decision was about entrusting the future of Den of Geek to a team with demonstrated success,” said Jennifer Bartner Indeck, CEO of Den of Geek. “Literally Media not only understands what makes our brand special and appreciates it, but they also have the resources and vision to help us grow, without losing the authenticity our fans know and love.”
