Spacely Media Reaches Nearly $200 Million in GMV as Its Magazine Advertising Marketplace Goes Live

New York, NY, August 28th, 2026, FinanceWire

With 100+ partners, Spacely Media is creating new infrastructure for how premium magazine advertising is discovered, bought and sold.

Spacely Media, the marketplace built to make premium media easier to buy and sell, is officially live, reaching a significant milestone with over 100 media partners and nearly $200 million in gross merchandise value (GMV) across the marketplace.

The milestone represents a major step forward for Spacely Media and for an industry that has historically relied on manual processes, fragmented communication, and existing relationships to connect advertising demand with available magazine inventory.

Spacely Media brings buyers and media suppliers together in one marketplace, creating greater visibility into what is available, where opportunities exist, and how buyers and sellers can connect and move business forward.

"Getting to this point is about much more than the numbers," said David Coker, co-founder and CEO of Spacely Media. "It demonstrates that there is real appetite across the industry for a better way to buy and sell magazine advertising. We are creating the infrastructure that makes premium media easier to discover, easier to evaluate and ultimately easier to transact."

For media buyers, Spacely Media creates a more efficient way to discover magazine advertising opportunities across publishers, understand available inventory and placement options, and manage opportunities within one environment. Instead of navigating individual conversations, spreadsheets, and disconnected processes, buyers gain a broader view of the marketplace while maintaining direct relationships with media partners.

For media suppliers, Spacely Media provides a new way to make inventory visible while buyers build their campaigns. Suppliers can manage inventory and availability, provide placement details, connect with interested buyers, and gain greater visibility into marketplace demand, while remaining in control of what buyers can see.

The result is a marketplace designed not to replace the relationships that have long powered magazine advertising, but to remove the friction surrounding them.

Spacely Media initially launched its Transact for Print platform in private beta with just over $100 million in GMV. Reaching nearly $200 million and 100+ partners as the marketplace goes live signals both significant growth and increasing industry participation.

As Spacely Media continues to expand, the company remains focused on creating a more accessible, transparent, and efficient marketplace for premium media and helping buyers and sellers spend less time managing transaction mechanics and more time creating value.
