City Brand Media Adds Major Bay Area City to Portfolio of City(dot)com Sites
Oakland, Calif. (PRWEB) December 16, 2015 -- City Brand Media, LLC, in partnership with California Media, LLC, has announced the purchase of the domain name Oakland.com. The site, which is now part of a growing network of more than 140 City(dot)com websites across the country, will serve as the flagship site for 20 Bay Area sites, including SantaClara.com, Sunnyvale.com, Sausalito.com, Danville.com, Burlingame.com, and many others.
Each of the hyperlocal community sites will feature city news, editorial features, a business directory, real estate information, restaurant listings and a comprehensive list of upcoming local events. All Bay Area sites are expected to go live in January 2016.
“We are excited to add Oakland.com to our growing City Brand Media family,” said Fred Mercaldo, CEO and partner of City Brand Media, LLC. “We intend on spending a considerable amount of time and resources building Oakland.com as a flagship site for more than 20 additional Bay Area City(dot)com brands, which we are confident will become a major go-to resource for both visitors and locals alike. Additionally, we will include anything and everything Oakland related, including sharing the grit, charm and energy about this great city that has been a secret for way too long.”
In addition to providing readers with quality content that is relevant to the city at hand, City Brand Media offers impressive and cost-effective advertising opportunities for a business to showcase its services on one specific city’s site, or across the entire network of Bay Area sites.
Oakland is quickly becoming the new hot spot for major tech companies. In September, Uber Technologies announced its plans to open a new global headquarters in downtown Oakland, which will house its 3,000 employees.
“We’re thrilled to be amongst the drastically changing Oakland landscape, as major tech companies make the move to the area due to the higher priced and scarce office availability in San Francisco,” said Mercaldo. “Not only is City Brand Media’s home office located in the iconic 22-story Oakland Tribune Tower, which serves as a centerpiece of the Oakland skyline, but also our associated companies employ more than 500 local Oakland residents. For this reason, we feel especially grateful to be helping local Bay Area companies promote their businesses online.”
City Brand Media’s second home office is located in Scottsdale, Ariz.; the company manages Scottsdale.com, along with Tempe.com, Chandler.com, FountainHills.com, Mesa.com and ApacheJunction.com.
