Forbes.com reports record months in October, November

Forbes.com established back-to-back records for monthly unique visitors in North America of 74.6 million and 76.4 million in October and November, respectively, according to comScore data.

“Our brand has never had more impact,” said CEO Mike Federle in a video. “Our audience has never been bigger.”

Federle pointed to editorial expansion in key verticals such as Forbes’ CMO Network and the hiring of new editors covering the chief financial officer, chief information officer and small-business communities; the redesign of the print publication.

Federle attributed the company’s success to its employees. “You are entrepreneurs at heart, the very personification of our brand,” he said.

Worldwide, the Forbes brand attracts more than 120 million people every month, according to internal figures.
