What BuzzFeed, Inc. does
In the company’s own words
BuzzFeed, Inc. (NASDAQ: BZFD) operates as a premier digital media company serving Millennial and Gen Z audiences through its iconic brands including BuzzFeed, HuffPost, and Tasty. The company's website is located at www.buzzfeed.com.
The company generates revenue through three primary streams: advertising, content, and commerce and other. Advertising revenues consist of payments from advertisers for display, pre-roll and mid-roll video products, and homepage takeovers distributed across owned and operated properties as well as third-party platforms. Content revenues derive from custom assets including long-form and short-form content, branded quizzes, and content videos, along with feature films and content licensing. Commerce and other revenues primarily consist of affiliate commissions earned on transactions initiated from editorial shopping content and product licensing.
BuzzFeed's flagship brand curates entertainment content and pop culture through articles, lists, quizzes, videos, and original series. HuffPost operates as a global, award-winning media platform for news, politics, opinion, and lifestyle content. Tasty, launched in 2015, pioneered the overhead video format for food content and serves as a platform for food creators. In 2025, audiences consumed more than 276 million hours of content across the company's brands and drove over 450 million dollars in attributable transactions for commerce partners.
The company employs 507 people across five countries as of December 31, 2025, with approximately 14.6 percent of employees unionized. BuzzFeed operates a data-driven content flywheel powered by proprietary technology and artificial intelligence to optimize publishing across platforms. The company derives approximately 28 percent of revenue from Amazon, primarily through affiliate commerce transactions.
BuzzFeed's competitive differentiation centers on its leading destination status for audiences, premium brand-safe advertising positioning, AI-enabled technology stack, and rich first-party data capabilities. The company competes with digital publishers including Vox Media, Bustle Digital Group, People Inc., and Condé Nast, while also partnering with major social media platforms, streaming services, and retailers. BuzzFeed was formed through a business combination consummated on December 3, 2021, between 890 5th Avenue Partners, Inc. and Legacy BuzzFeed, Inc.
