Syntagma Digital Launched
We have been preparing for our ultimate incorporation for some months, pausing only to ensure we have the right balance of elements and sufficient profitability to sustain a much larger operation. However, with our new design currently in hand by Thord Hedengen, it seemed the right moment to declare our new structure, which will be progressively implemented in the second quarter of the year.
Syntagma Media will split into two operating divisions. The first, Syntagma Digital, will contain all our online properties — some 53 websites — including, three network magazines and the (currently) top secret plans codenamed, iSyntagma.
The second new division of Syntagma Media is named Dial Publishing and will handle all print and other offline publishing and consulting work. This side of the business is set to swing into action in Q3 and Q4 of this year.
It always amazes me the amount of work involved in changing even the smallest sliver of a fully-functioning business, so we do this sparingly at all times.
But the time has come to launch : Syntagma Digital.
As exciting as the blogs are, I’m very curious to see how Dial Publishing will do. Best of luck, John!

Thanks, Thord, I am too.
We’ve got Superdemocracy – The Art of Corporate Governance and The Syntagma Story to publish first off.

Cool. I’d thought that was always the structure, but since I know how hard changing these kinds of things can actually be I wish you all the best in making it “official”

Well, we need to firm it up for the new design where Thord’s promising a monster footer. Thanks for the good wishes.
