What Cinnamon News does

Cinnamon News (CINNAMON NEWS, S.L.) is a privately held Spanish media group founded in 2009 and headquartered in Barcelona. The company operates four sub-brands: Modaes (economic journalism for the fashion business), EjePrime (economic daily for the real estate sector), Move (a platform supporting sustainability transformation in the fashion industry), and Rice & Core (a content creation service producing tailored narratives for corporate stakeholders). The core business is editorial — operating specialized B2B media properties that serve industry professionals in fashion and real estate with news, analysis, and business intelligence. Revenue mechanics are not disclosed but appear to combine advertising (Google DoubleClick integration confirms ad inventory), sponsored content, business events, and bespoke content services through Rice & Core.

The company is a small operation with 10 employees, serving a regional market (primarily Spain/Western Europe). Its go-to-market is vertical-focused rather than horizontal: the segmentation approach targets specific industries rather than broad readership. Cinnamon News operates as a portfolio of niche media brands rather than a single publication, with each sub-brand serving a distinct professional audience. The company is GDPR-compliant and uses standard third-party tools (Google Analytics, DoubleClick, reCAPTCHA) for analytics, advertising, and security — no proprietary technology stack or AI capabilities are disclosed.

The business model is multi-revenue-stream but not transparently documented. Beyond advertising on its owned properties, the company generates revenue from organizing business events and gatherings ("grandes jornadas empresariales"), custom content creation through Rice & Core, and the Move sustainability platform. There are no disclosed funding rounds, no M&A activity, no patents, and no mobile applications. The company is founder-led and independent, with no parent company or institutional investors identified in the available data.

Regional players

• Expansión: Spain's leading business daily newspaper, covering economy, finance, and sector-specific business news including real estate. Comparable to EjePrime as a Spanish economic daily targeting professionals, though operating as a broad-based business title rather than a real-estate specialist.
• FashionNetwork: European-focused B2B fashion industry news platform offering daily news, job listings, and market data. Comparable to Modaes in audience and offering, but operating across multiple European markets rather than solely Spain.

Direct peers

• Bisnow: Digital B2B media company producing news and events for commercial real estate professionals. Comparable to EjePrime as a specialist real estate trade publisher with a strong events business.
