London, 19th March, 2020 -- Cafeyn, the popular European information streaming service, announces the signature of Immediate Media Co and Black Dog Media to the Cafeyn platform. More than sixty new titles, including Immediate’s BBC magazine titles and Black Dog Media’s tech guides, are now live and available to subscribers of the Cafeyn information streaming platform.

With an already extensive catalogue, Cafeyn aims to offer the largest and most diverse portfolio that allows customers to freely explore and discover different themes and topics.

Immediate Media is the special interest content and platform company. Its fast-growing, multi-platform media business owns and operates some of the best-loved brands in the UK, including Olive, Homes and Antiques and Cycling Plus. Immediate Media publishes a wide range of titles under licence from the BBC as BBC Good Food, BBC Countryfile magazine, BBC Top Gear, Lonely Planet and BBC Gardeners’ World magazine.
From its humble beginnings in 2004, Black Dog Media quickly grew from a single publication produced by a team of just two, to one of the biggest names in global bookazine publishing. The company has a portfolio of over 250 publications, delivered by its international staff with titles ranging from the Complete Guide to Photography to the Complete Guide to MacOS. The partnership with Black Dog Media brings its guidebooks and tech guides to the platform, allowing users to improve their skills in a broad range of technical fields.
“We are all passionate about providing our audiences with content they love and themes that they enjoy. We are delighted to welcome Immediate and Black Dog Media to Cafeyn and thereby enabling our readers to grow their knowledge in a wide range of fields,” Charlotte Varnham, UK Publishing Relationship Manager at Cafeyn.

The partnership between Cafeyn, Immediate Media and Black Dog Media is mutually beneficial as Cafeyn will support the publisher on extending its digital press offering and introducing their publications to new readers.

James Gale, Creative Director of Black Dog Media says, “Our continuing strategy for 2020 being to expand our digital reach to the ever-growing mobile reader, not simply through the high quality and market awareness of our best-selling BDM publications range but also via new and exciting consumer delivery platforms. Thus working with Cafeyn was the obvious choice to help us achieve this goal and we are delighted to do so”
