LOS ANGELES--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Evolve Media Corp., an integrated media company, announced today the acquisition of BabyandBump.com (www.babyandbump.com), which will become a part of its Momtastic division (www.momtastic.com), a leading online destination and community for moms.

Launched in 2007 by a set of expecting parents, BabyandBump has grown to become a leading destination for moms seeking to read and discuss a variety of topics ranging from conception and pregnancy to parenting and family. The site is currently home to over 170,000 active contributing members and reaches millions of unique visitors who consume over 20 million pageviews of content per month. With approximately 20,000 conversations taking place on the site every day, BabyandBump is recognized as the most active parenting community on the web by Big-Boards.com.
“BabyandBump.com is a perfect example of what Momtastic represents: a rapidly growing community that continuously keeps its female users drawn in through fresh conversations and engaging topics,” says Brian Fitzgerald, President and Co-Founder of Evolve Media Corp. “We are excited to welcome BabyandBump.com into the Momtastic family, and look forward to having its community further enrich our pregnancy and parenting offerings.”
“I am delighted to have BabyandBump.com reach a new level of awareness by joining Momtastic,” said Charlene Irvine, who co-founded BabyandBump.com. “I look forward to continuing my roles in fostering the strong parenting community that our members have come to know and trust.”
Evolve’s female vertically-focused online branded sales company, totallyher, will continue to lead all sales efforts for Momtastic including BabyandBump.com by creating custom integrated marketing programs incorporating mobile, video, social media and rich display products.
