From Bold Beginnings To An Exciting Future: What This New Chapter Means For Lovin Malta
For the past nine years, Lovin Malta has been at the forefront of digital media in Malta.
As one of the first fully online Maltese media houses, Lovin Malta steadily grew from the ground up into a household name with over 650,000 unique followers across social media platforms.
Thanks to the work of a small but creative and passionate group of people, we have been able to inform, entertain and challenge perspectives.
Besides our content, we are proud of our ability to innovate and adapt over the years.
Some of our highlights include the annual Social Media Awards to celebrate content creators, the annual Lovin Recommends awards for restaurants and a partnership with Street Media to bring Lovin Malta stories to bus stops across the country.
We have also expanded our brand through the acquisitions of DealToday and Trusted Tutors and the establishment of the business platform MeetInc.
Today, we’re proud to announce the next chapter in our journey: the acquisition of a majority stake in Lovin Malta by Alexandre Dreyfus’s Qamar Ventures.
This is a monumental step for us as a team and for Malta’s media landscape as a whole.
