The Forbes Brand
With its wide editorial lens, soaring digital success and iconic
status in the lexicon of American media, Forbes is not just a
business magazine and website, but a media brand that documents
and promotes innovation, leadership, politics, entertainment,
technology, culture, business and style.
Forbes’ mission is to deliver information on the people, ideas and technologies
changing the world to our community of affluent business decision makers.
What distinguishes Forbes from other media brands is our exceptional access to
the world’s most powerful people—the game changers and disruptors who are
advancing industries across the globe. Through our unique platform of print,
digital and mobile products, Forbes is changing the way content is created,
distributed, consumed and shared.
Since 1917, Forbes magazine has provided the world’s affluent business leaders
with strategic insight and information. In the past two years we have produced an
unbroken string of agenda-setting cover stories celebrating the people changing
the world for the better: Bill Gates, Oprah Winfrey and Sean Parker to Jeff Bezos,
Christine Lagarde, Jack Dorsey and more. Forbes magazine is the audience leader
in the business category and has seen the only newsstand growth in the category,
up 4.3%.*
Forbes.com is the homepage for the world’s business leaders, serving an engaging
mix of top stories, video and trending features. Our unique social journalism
platform enables content creators, consumers and marketers to participate more
than ever before, and our network of 1,000+ staff writers and expert contributors
enables Forbes.com to meet the diverse and demanding needs of our online
audience. Forbes.com has seen unprecedented growth, with a record breaking 45
million unique visitors in January.**
Forbes’ growth across print, digital and mobile is proof that the innovative
model of journalism at the center of a social experience is not only working, it is
revolutionizing the business media industry.

The New Newsroom
“We’ve been at it for two and a half years, reinventing ourselves step by step. We transformed
Forbes.com into a global publishing platform. We re-imagined our magazine for a digital age. We
built smartphone and tablet products for our growing audience of mobile consumers. There were
no headline-making product releases, just a relentless string of advances (check out the timeline
below). As technology plays havoc with the economics of both journalism and advertising, we’ve
built a powerful publishing engine to create, syndicate and market quality editorial content at
scale — and for marketers to express themselves like never before. We’ve put our authoritative
journalism at the center of a social media experience — “I see FORBES in my news stream all the
time,” I keep hearing. By doing all that and more, we extended our 96-year-old brand and mission
to a new generation of entrepreneurs eager to create wealth, provide jobs and make a difference.”
-Lewis D’Vorkin, Forbes Chief Product Officer, January 5, 2013
