The separation between media and marketplaces is complete ✅

Since June last year, Schibsted was split into two companies, Schibsted Media and Schibsted Marketplaces. Now, the separation is officially complete as Schibsted Marketplaces starts to use its new brand Vend. We will continue as two distinct brands and individual companies:

👋 https://schibsted.com/

Schibsted will continue the strong legacy of running independent journalism through our news and media brands to strengthen democracy - that’s our business.

👋 https://vend.com/

From Blocket in Sweden to FINN in Norway, Tori in Finland and DBA in Denmark – Vend help millions of people make smarter choices every day.

We are incredibly excited for the journeys ahead for both companies

Really exciting news! 🎉 Today marks a milestone in Schibsted Marketplaces’ history as we unveil our future corporate brand name: Vend.

“Vend marks the beginning of a united effort. With this new brand, we are bringing together our family of marketplaces – uniting them into one powerful force of innovation,” says CEO Christian Printzell Halvorsen.

The complete transition to Vend is scheduled for the second quarter of 2025, meaning we will stay as Schibsted Marketplaces for a little longer – you can read more about the story behind our new brand name in this press release: https://schibsted.com/news/schibsted-marketplaces-reveals/

(Note that this brand change is only for Schibsted Marketplaces. Schibsted Media will keep the name Schibsted and the Schibsted social media platforms after Schibsted Marketplaces transitions to Vend.)

👋 Meet Jovana, a Product Manager at Schibsted Marketplaces who’s been with for five years. Starting as a market analyst, she is now the PM of the Recruiter Success team, and her passion for teamwork is at the heart of what she does. Let’s get to know her a little better!

💬 So, Jovana, what’s your role like?
As a Product Manager, I’m the team’s advocate, which means lots of meetings and collaboration! I talk to many people each day, but my favourites are my teammates, our users and sales teams. Recently, I’ve also been carving out some focus-time to think, write, and crunch numbers—it’s a nice balance to all the meetings.

💬 What’s a typical day at Schibsted Marketplaces like for you?
Lots of conversations! Whether it’s brainstorming, planning or user feedback, there’s always something going on. When our team comes together to solve user problems, that’s when I’m the happiest. 🎉

💬 What do you love most about working here?
The people! I am lucky to get to work with such a dedicated, knowledgeable, funny and caring gang.

💬 Tell us a little about yourself outside of work!
I’m originally from Serbia but have been living in Norway for 12 years. Outside of work, you’ll often find me hanging out with my two-year-old son. Luckily, being with him is my favourite thing to do!

💬 When you were a kid, what did you want to be?
When I was little, I wanted to be either an astronaut or an archaeologist, because both made exciting discoveries and started with the letter “a” (kid logic).

💬 If you could automate one thing in your life, what would it be?
Dressing my toddler! He and I both agree that we should automate this task, so It’s definitely on our roadmap!
