It was a great conversation with @niels_eichhorn and a lot of fun. He asked great questions that required reflection on my part, and hopefully brought out some of the nearly cinematic drama inherent in my subject.

Funny.

This is a big story as @FreightAlley and Firecrown re-invent the media-company model, both in terms of leveraging media properties to create new revenue streams, and also in terms of combining B2B and B2C.

Very nice review of my book, Twelve Days," by @armymagofficial. "The intriguing story of the tense period that President Abraham Lincoln’s secretaries termed “an epoch in American history.” Second review down. https://t.co/B3TNxe2Vtv

Thank you, @CivilWarMonitor and Gordon Berg. 🙏 @PotomacBooks @UnivNebPress

This is an incredible story, fast-moving and possibly one of the great tech-industry shifts in decades.

The days immediately after the surrender at Fort Sumter are overshadowed by the great battles and seismic changes in American life that followed. Tony Silber @tonysilber @UnivNebPress discusses why the twelve days were critically important https://t.co/tQmHy20iHi #history

This was a fun, fast-paced interview by @faculti about my book.

So now, not only is Fuller's media group rapidly expanding, but it's diverse—one of a relatively few media companies with both B2B and B2C assets. (Fuller is a featured speaker at the acclaimed BIMS conference, February 29-March 1, 2024, in New Orleans.)

Suddenly, Fuller's Chattanooga, Tennessee-based media company has 40 brands in three markets. In addition to Flying Media and the Marine Media group, Fuller owns FreightWaves, an innovative B2B media-and-business-intelligence company that he founded in 2016.

Over the next two years, FMG acquired 25 other aviation brands, creating the most comprehensive aviation media brand in the world. In July of this year, the company acquired five aviation-media brands from Belvoir Media Group, which were rolled into the Flying Media operation.

From my story about @FreightAlley's acquisition of Bonnier LLC's marine media group. The transaction catapults Fuller's portfolio into the top tier of niche-market media firms. Flying Media has 31 brands, including Flying Magazine, which Fuller acquired in 2021.

So true and words to reflect on.
