Nine Lives Media, a division of Penton Media, defines emerging IT markets and disrupts established markets. We’re creative, ambitious, and never satisfied with our business performance. Our media platforms — MSPmentor, MSPtweet, The VAR Guy, VARtweet and Talkin’ Cloud – are the leading community-driven web sites in the IT channel.

And we’re not done. Not by a long shot. We’re striving to exceed reader and sponsor expectations.

What’s In A Name?

Our name — Nine Lives Media — reflects our ability to adapt to evolving IT media markets again and again. Remember: We embrace change. And we help our clients to reach new target audiences across emerging media.

Our corporate name also reminds us of our personal priorities. Nine individual lives — our co-founders and their immediate families — gave this venture the green light. Pardon us if we seem excited. But we’re onto something here. And we have a strong parent to help us drive additional growth. Penton Media acquired Nine Lives in August 2011. Together, we look forward to expanding our services to readers and sponsors.
