CK Media, LLC was formed November 2006 by the purchase of the Crafts Group from PRIMEDIA, Inc. by Sandler Capital Management. CK Media consists of a diverse mix of traditional magazine publishing, online and digital media, multiple consumer and trade events, merchandising as well as domestic and international product licensing. CK Media's foundation is built on eleven leading consumer magazine titles with a combined circulation of 1.2 million, and two trade publications. CK Media's consumer magazines are household names and market leaders providing content and community resources for scrapbooking, paper crafting, quilting and sewing. The publications are Creating Keepsakes, Simple Scrapbooks, Paper Crafts, Digital Scrapbooking, Quilter's Newsletter, McCall's Quilting, Quiltmaker, McCall's Quick Quilts, Quilter's Home, Sew News and Creative Machine Embroidery. CK Media's trade publications are Craftrends and Memorytrends. CK Media is, without a doubt, the most significant publisher of quilting, sewing, and scrapbooking magazines. Our titles were the first for all three, and they continue to reach more people engaged in these activities than any of our competitors. And we continue to develop new magazines to engage a broader audience. but the magazines are just one element in our connection. We connect with our audience through numerous means. For example, we offer events and education that are highly regarded in scrapbooking, paper crafting, sewing, and quilting. We've also had great success online, and we're substantially expanding and improving our online offerings and communities, creating more real-time dialogue, meaningful interactivity, online education, and high-quality multimedia content. The multi-faceted connections we create are invaluable to our readers, as well as to those companies that supply the materials, instruction, and other items necessary to do what our audiences love to do. so it's no surprise that our connection is deep. For our audiences, we're not merely the people who print and distribute magazines. We are, in fact, an indelible part of their community. We have people who've subscribed with us for decades, others who consider us an integral part of their world. In short, we matter to the people who sew, quilt, and scrapbook,and that's because they matter to us.
