Unique Héritage Média

UHM's business model revolves around producing, publishing, and distributing a wide range of content aimed at children, families, and, more recently, adults. The company generates revenue through subscriptions to its numerous publications, direct sales of books and magazines, and licensing agreements. The group's strategy centers on "edutainment," blending education with entertainment across various formats including print magazines, books, digital applications, and podcasts. This multi-channel approach targets families, schools, and libraries, aiming to make learning enjoyable and accessible.

The company's growth has been significantly fueled by a series of strategic acquisitions. A major milestone was the 2015 purchase of Fleurus Presse, an educational press publisher founded in 1929. This was followed by the acquisition of Pili Pop Labs, a startup specializing in language learning for children, in 2016. In 2019, UHM substantially increased its market share by acquiring Disney Hachette Presse (now Unique Heritage Entertainment) from The Walt Disney Company France and Lagardère, adding iconic titles like *Le Journal de Mickey* and *Picsou Magazine* to its portfolio. More recently, in early 2025, the group acquired Les Mini Mondes, a startup known for its eco-responsible toys and children's travel magazines.

The product portfolio of Unique Héritage Média is extensive, encompassing over thirty brands. For its youth audience, it publishes well-known magazines such as *Abricot*, *National Geographic Kids*, *Le Monde des ados*, and the Disney-licensed titles. The Quelle Histoire collection has become a reference in its segment, selling millions of books. The group has also successfully ventured into the adult market with the launch of *Epsiloon*, a science news magazine, in 2021. This diverse offering reaches a monthly audience of over 8 million readers and serves more than 500,000 subscribers.
