I am interestedFranchise & licensing
Our titles.Your market.
Every title we run was built to travel. The brand, the format, the studio and the platform already exist. What we look for now is the partner who takes one of them further and runs it as their own.
Why a licence
Starting a media brand from zero takes years. A name nobody knows, an audience that has to be earned one reader at a time, and a stack of tools that somebody has to pay for before the first advertiser calls back.
A licence skips that part. You start with a title the market already reads, a format that has been made before and a team that knows how to make it again. Your job is the part only you can do: know the niche, lead the people and sell what the audience came for.
Day one
What comeswith the title
The infrastructure is the expensive part of media. Here it is already switched on before you sign.
A known brandA name, an identity and a brand book that the niche already recognises.
The formatEditorial line, formats, archive and the playbook that describes how the title is made every week.
Platform and automationsThe publishing stack, the content workflows and the CRM the other titles run on.
Studio and crewRecording support in our studios, with the people who shoot for the other titles.
OnboardingA structured start with our team, so you publish into something that already works.

I am interestedHow to partner
Three waysto own a title
- 01
Run a title
You take over the day-to-day running of one of our titles in its own market: the editorial team, the calendar and the commercial side. We stay behind it with the brand, the platform and the studio.
- 02
Take a title to a new market
You bring a title or one of its formats to another country, region or sector, under its own name and with our playbook. Same brand, new audience, run by someone who knows that market.
- 03
Build a new title with us
Not one of ours yet? If you own a niche that has no title, we build the brand with you from the first issue. See how that works.

Part of YOUNG.
You run the title. You are never on your own.
Who we look for
Made for peoplewho know a market
The journalist who owns a beat. The operator who knows an industry from the inside. The entrepreneur with a network of advertisers and a team that wants to build something of its own.
We look at qualities, values and ambitions before CVs. Experience in media or sales helps. Knowing the niche better than the market does matters more.
Partners can also become shareholders in the wider YOUNG ecosystem. We explain how in the first conversation.

The agreement
We put the partnership on paper, with clear roles for both sides.

Questions
Good toknow
Do I need experience in media?
It helps, but it is not the starting point. Knowing the niche, its people and its advertisers matters more. The making of the title is something we teach.
Can I take a title to another country?
Yes. That is the second route. Tell us which title and which market, and we look at it together.
What happens with the current audience and channels?
That differs per title and per route. We go through it in detail when we open the title for you, in step two.
What does a licence cost?
It depends on the title, the market and the route. We share the terms in a personal conversation, not on a website.
Can partners become shareholders?
Yes. Partners can also become shareholders in the wider YOUNG ecosystem. We explain how in the first conversation.
The next owner. Yours?
