CentralNic – executive interview

CentralNic is a leading global domain name services and online marketing company, operating through two divisions: Online Presence, which provides businesses with services including domain names, hosting, websites, email, security certification and brand protection; and Online Marketing, built around the Team Internet business acquired in 2019, which helps domain name owners monetise online traffic using an anonymised, privacy-protected marketing platform.

Following CentralNic’s recent Q122 results, which showed 51% organic revenue growth, we talk to Ben Crawford, CEO of CentralNic, to discuss the group’s contextual advertising proposition and the Online Marketing division. We talk about what lies behind the division’s notable growth, how sustainable this growth might be in the macroeconomic current climate and the size of the overall opportunity for CentralNic. We finish by touching on the potential bond refinancing expected over the summer and what else might be on the cards for the company in FY22.
