EH Publishing

What EH Publishing does

EH Media (formerly EH Publishing, Inc.) is a privately held B2B media company founded in 1994 and headquartered in Framingham, Massachusetts. The company operates a diversified portfolio of specialized media brands serving distinct professional verticals: professional audio (Live Sound International, ProSoundWeb), the IT reseller channel (ChannelPro Network), commercial and residential integration (CE Pro, Commercial Integrator, Electronic House), security (Security Sales & Integration, Campus Safety), house of worship (Church Facilities Expo, Church Sound University, Worship Facility), and robotics (Robotics Business Review, Robotics Trends, RoboBusiness Conference). EH Media reaches approximately 3.3 million monthly active viewers across print magazines, branded websites, email newsletters, live events, online learning platforms, and social channels, serving brand marketers seeking to access hard-to-reach B2B professional audiences through targeted advertising and custom content.

The company's business model rests on five core revenue streams: advertising placements across print and digital properties, event sponsorships and exhibitions, magazine subscriptions and content access, audience list rental to third-party marketers, and fee-based digital marketing services delivered through its EH Impact agency division. Pricing is quote-based via a direct sales team targeting enterprise and mid-market advertisers, with media kits available on request and no publicly disclosed pricing. Core service offerings include video production, digital marketing, content marketing, targeted marketing using first-party audience data, research, creative services, print production, content strategy, custom microsite development, and experiential marketing, packaged under a proprietary "360° marketing approach" for advertisers seeking integrated multi-channel programs.

The company is founder-owned and led by President & CEO Ken Moyes (co-founder) and CFO & COO Christine Duffy, with vertical-level presidents for the Pro Audio division and ChannelPro Network. Strategic history includes acquisitions of Peerless Media (2010), Security Sales & Integration and Campus Safety (2013), the formation of the All Things Media European joint venture (2014), the creation of the EH Impact digital marketing agency (2016), the corporate rebrand from EH Publishing to EH Media (2016), and the 2017 merger of its robotics division with European TUS Expo to form Robo Business Media. The company has 51–100 employees, no disclosed outside institutional investment, and no evidence of AI/ML-native technology capabilities.
