Cross media publishing group Magicalia Ltd announce that the popular fishing website www.fishingmagic.com has been sold to online publisher and magazine owner Fish and Fly Ltd. Launched in 2000 FishingMagic is one of the oldest, best known and most respected fishing websites and has an excellent reputation with anglers and the trade. Group Publisher of Magicalia Active Ed Marriage stated:
“Our ongoing strategy is to publish in sectors where we can complete advertising deals across more than one website or magazine. Whilst fishing is a huge advertising market its advertisers tend to arrange their own advertising and are, in the main, unique to fishing. FishingMagic would be better served by being owned by a niche player in that marketplace. I am delighted that a proven professional operator such as Fish & Fly Ltd has purchased the website and brand and I wish them every success”.
“We are delighted with this acquisition and have enjoyed our negotiations with Magicalia Ltd. At Fish & Fly we have forged some very good relationships with the key brands in the fly fishing world and many of these, such as manufacturers Hardy and Greys and retailer Sportfish, are spreading their wings into the carp and coarse markets. FishingMagic will enable us to work even closer with brands such as these to help grow their market share. It also opens up a new world of advertisers to us whose main speciality is in the coarse market. We are in the business of building and serving well communities within fishing and we have many new initiatives to make being members of them all an enjoyable and rewarding experience.”
As the long-standing editor of FishingMagic, Graham Marsden has grown and nourished a thriving community and we are pleased to announce that he will continue the good work with Fish and Fly Ltd as Managing Editor of FishingMagic.” Anyone wishing to advertise on FishingMagic should email Mike Gray, Sales and Marketing Director.
