Engaged audiences, reached organically.
Open Plan Media is a digital publisher that delivers engaging content to relevant audiences via its portfolio of media brands.
The Open Plan Media story begins in 2008, when passionate sports fans Martin Caparrotta and Kieran Beckles founded The Sport Review while they were still students at university.
What started out as an independent sports blog belonging to two football fanatics quickly evolved into a publication delivering sports news, reviews and social media round-ups to millions of users.
Open Plan Media was formed in 2019 with the launch of pet website helloBARK! and lifestyle and wellness destination HumanWindow. Music brand MelodyFlare then followed in 2023.
Open Plan Media reaches its target audiences primarily through written content – helpful articles produced by people, for people. You can find out more about what we do and our individual brands on About Us pages of the websites themselves.
