You’ll be in good company

Flashes & Flames is required reading for anyone involved in the ever-changing world of media.” Lara Boro, CEO, The Economist

“Flashes & Flames is the most inspiring media newsletter I ever read. It’s a must-read every week” Arnaud de Puyfontaine, CEO, Vivendi SA

Flashes & Flames provides an in-depth look at the business of media simply not found anywhere else.  It’s the first thing I read every Friday morning.” Sean Griffey, founder, Industry Dive

“Flashes & Flames has really made its mark. Colin Morrison combines the experience and instincts of a senior operator, with the analysis of a quality commentator. Given the lack of mainstream journalistic investment in the media sector, he has built a thing of real value to its subscribers. It is surprisingly well researched and always has an interesting take on deals and the media organisations he reports on. He might fly a few kites occasionally, but they often catch the breeze!” Tom Bureau, Chair, Immediate Media and CEO Burda International

Flashes & Flames is a must-read for every leader in media, information and entertainment. Colin Morrison’s deep analysis and fresh perspectives on everything happening now and next clearly stand out from all other industry coverage.” Christian Baesler, former COO, BuzzFeed Inc.

“As a relative newcomer to the UK and Irish media scene (through our acquisition of Independent News & Media plc), I find the insights and colour provided week after week by Flashes & Flames are truly invaluable.” Thomas Leysen, Chair, Mediahuis NV

“Thank goodness for Flashes & Flames which has a wealth of detail and anecdote that I just don’t find elsewhere. There are hundreds of newsletters giving opinions about what the media should be doing to survive. Flashes & Flames is one of the rare ones that actually tells you the real story about what the media is doing.” David Sillito, Media & Arts Correspondent, BBC News

Flashes & Flames is an invaluable resource, providing unparalleled insight into what’s going on behind the scenes in media as well as what might be around the corner. Colin Morrison’s unique knowledge of the media landscape makes it a must-read every week.” Zillah Byng-Thorne, Chair, Trust Pilot and former CEO, Future Plc

Flashes & Flames is essential reading for those of us working and investing at the intersection of trade shows, events and private equity. It is the only regular source of useful and accurate information on those increasingly prominent parts of the media world.” Phillip Soar, Chair, CloserStill Media and 19 Events

“I read Flashes & Flames every week because it always tells me things I didn’t know and gives me new angles, especially on deals. More than anything else, it’s a must-read because it is well-informed, well-written and a unique source of information right across the world of media.” Tim Weller, media entrepreneur and founder, Incisive Media

“My favorite read of the week is Flashes & Flames. In a journalistic era when most of the ‘trades’ have disappeared, it is well researched, well written and thoughtful in its coverage of the media industry. It is a weekly read that is not to be missed by all industry executives; at a time, when memories are short, Flashes & Flames provides an invaluable perspective.” Wilma Jordan, CEO-founder, JEGI-Clarity

“Having spent my career in the business media, I had been missing anyone tracking and analyzing the media deals economy. Until Flashes & Flames came along. It has the best analysis, inside info and all the knowledge you could want, especially around the business information sector.” Rafat Ali, CEO-founder, Skift

“Every Friday morning, I really look forward to reading the latest edition of Flashes & Flames. This is not only to get the latest M&A activity but also to get Colin’s unique insight into what is going on. Douglas Emslie, chair Raccoon Media and deputy chair, Jacobs Media

Flashes & Flames is without a doubt the best media newsletter I read. It has a combination of great insight and great writing that are unbeatable and could only be accomplished by a former senior media executive and former journalist (all rolled into one Colin Morrison)” Reed Phillips, CEO, Oaklins DeSilva+Phillips

Flashes & Flames has quickly become essential reading on all things media. I enjoy the mixture of reporting and opinions. Short, concise and full of information – there isn’t a week that I don’t learn something from reading it. Keep up the great work!” Mark Shashoua, CEO, Hyve Group

” I love Flashes & Flames because it has extraordinary reach and truly gets under the skin of the media industry.” Charlie Kerr, Founder-CEO, With Intelligence Group
