Editorial expansion

[edit]

In 2011, Memeburn expanded to launch Gearburn.com, a sister site[1] which is focused on gadget and game reviews and news and Motorburn.com, which focuses on car news. In 2012, Ventureburn.com was created to focus on entrepreneurship and startups.[1] The sites were rebranded collectively in 2013 as Burn Media.[13]

In 2019, the sites underwent a redesign, with the Memeburn, Gearburn, and Motorburn sites operating under the Memeburn.com domain.[14] Ventureburn.com continues to operate as a sister site. Both brands -- Memeburn and Ventureburn -- operate under the Burn Media Group brand.[15][16]

Awards

[edit]

In 2010, Memeburn was awarded the UCT Graduate School of Business' Best Blog award at the South African Blog Awards,[17] and later won a bronze award for Specialist Publisher Site at the Bookmark Awards.[18]
