Conde Nast: Anything for [em]Portfolio[/em]!

Wed, 27 Sep 2006 11:50:58 -0400

It's still more than six months until Portfolio launches, but Condé Nast isn't letting things go until the last minute. In addition to scooping up several reporters and editors for Portfolio, the company has also just acquired a website, www.porfolio.com, for the forthcoming business magazine. Condé Nast did not announce the purchase price of the website, which the company obtained from Portfolios.com. Portfolios.com sells commercial art and provides freelance job listings.

Condé Nast has also, not coincidentally, entered into a "promotional program" with Portfolios.com.

Full release—with oddly hilarious headline—below.
