KISSMEDIA was founded in Launceston, Tasmania in February 1993, as a partnership between Sue Cartledge and her husband Dennis Cartledge. A plain English content provider and (very) small publisher, KISSMEDIA’s slogan was Keeping it Simple.

KISSMEDIA’s first project was the ambitious DIY HomeSale - a loose-leaf guide to selling the family home without the use of real estate agents. KISSMEDIA also provided an advisory service to prospective sellers as well as the step by step guide, a For Sale sign and contact cards.
