Not a bad turn-arround

Creation Date: 2025-08-21T10:50:40Z

The re-brand from Kantar to Fifty5Blue (what a weird combo name) seems to have been announced in February, but the seller of the domain might have caught onto it earlier. Risky, but I guess it worked.

<--- every time I see a weird domain selling for gazillions

Gives me hope for my Twenty20

It worked because the price tag was only 5k and legal would probably have cost more.

That's because these sellers are all actively...



And that sketchy stuff can get you in trouble, not to mention it puts a big damper on your karma.

Kantar Media has transformed into Fifty5Blue after a $1 billion acquisition, introducing a new brand identity and increasing investment in AI to improve its measurement services.

This is my guess of how that went down:
Head of Marketing:
(quietly hoovers up a pile of Fifty5Blue.{TLDs}, then strolls over with a cup of tea)

I say, old boy, would you mind terribly registering the matching TLD domains for our splendid new company name before the whole thing leaks and the vultures descend?

IT Chap:
You’re not going to believe this, mate, but they’ve already been registered.

Head of Marketing:
Already registered? Bloody hell. Those cyber-squatting bastards really are a pack of absolute tossers, aren’t they?
Right then, nothing for it. Best find out what the damage is.

IT Chap:
Five grand each.

Head of Marketing:
Five grand? Christ alive.
Still, I suppose it could be worse. Could’ve been some right villain asking fifty.
Fine. Make it happen.

IT Chap:
Sorted.

Head of Marketing:
Brilliant. Good man.
Oh, and by the way, I’m off on holiday next week. Back in a fortnight or so.
Cheers!
