BroadcastMed

What BroadcastMed does

BroadcastMed is a US-based B2B healthcare media company founded in 1994 and headquartered in Farmington, Connecticut, with an additional office in New York (acquired via Harborside in October 2022). The company operates the Conexiant platform and a portfolio of 20+ specialty medical publications covering oncology, dental, ophthalmology, optometry, gastroenterology, endocrinology, pathology, and other clinical areas, reaching more than 2.8 million healthcare professionals.

Its core technology is a digital content management and distribution platform acquired through Digitell, Inc. in December 2021, which provides virtual event hosting and multi-format content distribution. This platform underpins the consolidated publication portfolio, including society-affiliated and peer-reviewed titles such as The ASCO Post, JNCCN, JADPRO, Inside Dentistry, ADA News, Glaucoma Physician, Retinal Physician, and The Pathologist, plus conference coverage of ASCO, ASE, ATS, ESMO, and other specialty meetings, and daily specialty email newsletters. The company is privately held and backed by private equity sponsor 424 Capital, which has supported an aggressive acquisition strategy executed between December 2021 and June 2023.

The business model is primarily B2B advertising, with pharmaceutical, medical device, and healthcare brand advertisers purchasing targeted access to physician, dentist, and specialist audiences across specialty publications, daily newsletters, conference coverage, and virtual events. A secondary recurring revenue stream comes from medical education and communications services across oncology, dentistry, and other specialties. Pricing is quote-based and negotiated rather than publicly disclosed, and the go-to-market motion combines an enterprise field-sales effort with content-led audience engagement. The company is privately held with no public listing.
