Stockopedia, the leading online financial media portal for UK investors, has appointed Webads as their sole advertising sales partner. Stockopedia (http://www.stockopedia.co.uk) is a full service financial media site focused on meeting the news, information and research needs of institutional investors, sophisticated retail investors and high net worth individuals, particularly those interested in investing in small and medium sized companies that are less well-served by traditional media outlets. In 2010, Stockopedia was listed in the top 10 Financial Blogs in the UK by Cision.

Stockopedia is one of the fastest growing financial media sites in the UK. From a standing start in 2009, Stockopedia has grown to reach over 100,000 unique visitors per month. The site has almost 20,000 registered members, plus an additional 15,000 subscribers across social media networks like Twitter and Facebook. As well as providing high quality information, Stockopedia offers a vibrant research community and the UK’s first genuine social media experience for investors, with a wide range of activities and investing tools such as Blogging, Portfolios, Messaging, Forums, Virtual Trading and much more.

The appointment of Webads by Stockopedia came about as a result of their appreciation of the expertise and success of Webads within the financial and investment marketplace and thus the future value they will bring to Stockopedia. CEO Edward Croft said, "we are excited about partnering with Webads, given their specialisation in the area of business and finance. We are very pleased with the calibre of the investing audience on Stockopedia, comprising both wealthy individual investors and institutional investors, and welcome the opportunity to work with an sophisticated, high-end digital marketing specialist who is well positioned to help us optimise the value of this audience for our advertising partners".
