Classified Ventures, LLC is a strategic joint-venture among five large media partners whose objectives are to collectively capitalize on the revenue growth in the online classified advertising categories of automotive, apartments, and real estate.
Our strategic partners are Belo Corp., Gannett Co., Inc.,The McClatchy Company, Tribune Company and The Washington Post Company.
To execute on its objectives, CV has created two leading online businesses -- apartments.com and cars.com and builds real estate-related business software products for its partners through its HomeScape division. In addition to the national web sites, apartments.com and cars.com also are carried by our partner's local affiliate network of more than 170 online newspaper and television web sites.
Classified Ventures' Internet businesses offer consumers comprehensive listings of products and objective information to help them make informed decisions. For advertisers, Classified Ventures provides direct marketing tools and generates a large audience of "in purchase" consumers.
The local newspaper has always been the first place people turn for classified advertising. Classified Ventures LLC, backed by 5 of the world's leading media companies, was formed to combine the local strength and trusted reputations of leading newspapers across the country with nationally branded products and solutions. The result: the creation of (i) the premier sales channel for online classified advertising, (ii) a trusted environment to help individuals make better and more-informed purchasing decisions, and (iii) a motivated audience to increase the effectiveness of our advertisers.
