WASHINGTON, Sept. 28, 2021 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- GovExec, the leading information services company for government leaders and contractors, announced today that content from City & State (C&S), the leading media brand dedicated to covering local and state politics, policy and personalities is available for licensing into third party platforms. GovExec's longtime licensing partner, MEI Global (MEIG) will continue to develop third party licensing opportunities that leverage the value of C&S's highly regarded coverage of New York and Pennsylvania's local and state politics and policy.
"When we acquired City & State in January 2021, one of our goals was to leverage our existing licensing deals for GovExec to broaden access for end users interested in award-winning commentary and analysis, weekly publications, daily e-briefs, events, podcast interviews and more," said Tim Hartman, CEO, GovExec. "With MEIG's guidance, we've already been able to add C&S content to our existing distribution arrangements with aggregators, syndication vendors, IP licensing specialists, and more."
"We're pleased that C&S content will be available to more readers in more places, and that MEIG was able to facilitate that efficiently thanks to distribution relationships they had established for GovExec over the years," said Tom Allon, General Manager of C&S. "We're tremendously excited about our plans to grow rapidly both in New York state, as well as to replicate our model in states and municipalities around the country. We're optimistic that new distribution partnerships will amplify that growth even more."
MEIG was founded to underpin the ability of publishers to identify, negotiate, and manage third party licensing opportunities, which can be challenging when resources for in-house licensing personnel are limited. "We have conducted licensing activities on behalf of GovExec for over a decade, and we're excited to have the opportunity to include C&S content in our vendor discussions going forward," said Chris Broekhoff, MEIG's President. "As C&S enters a new chapter of its growth story as part of GovExec, we are honored to play a role in helping readers connect to the content that matters to them."
