His previous experience in the auto sector includes time as Head of Marketing for Emap’s automotive division.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Katherine Raderecht becomes Group Publisher for Sports after a number of years at the helm of Future’s music-making portfolio, which most recently saw the successful launch of Future’s latest online Network, MusicRadar.

The title will sit within the highly successful technology portfolio at Dennis Publishing alongside brands such as PC Pro, Computer Shopper, itpro.co.uk and iGizmo. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Launched in 2006, Digital SLR Photography currently has an unaudited circulation of over 20,000 and is distributed via newsstand and subscription.  The magazine title and its associated website, &lt;a href="http://www.digitalslrphoto.com/"&gt;www.digitalslrphoto.com&lt;/a&gt;, is billed as ‘the magazine by photographers for photographers’ and provides readers with top end photography product news and reviews, tips and advice from professional photographers on technique. The brand also encourages readers to get involved by sending photos to the magazine and website. The title is one of only two brands aimed at the high-end, Digital SLR photography market and provides advertisers with a sizeable, high-spending audience.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The current editorial and advertising team of 8, lead by Editor and co-founder Daniel Lezano, will all be taken on as Dennis Publishing employees but will remain in their premises in Peterborough.  The team will report into John Garewal, Deputy MD of Dennis Publishing’s Technology division.  Dennis Publishing will grow the title using their expertise in subscriptions and digital publishing.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;James Tye, CEO at Dennis Publishing said: “The fast-growing SLR photography market represents an excellent opportunity for Dennis Publishing.  Digital SLR Photography is superbly put together and is a compelling and entertaining read: it was these high editorial standards that convinced me that the magazine should be part of our portfolio. I very much look forward to working with this talented team and making Digital SLR Photography a market leading magazine and website in its sector.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Daniel Lezano, Editor and co-founder of Digital SLR Photography said: “We’re very excited at joining the diverse and innovative portfolio of titles at Dennis Publishing. Digital SLR Photography magazine has enjoyed a successful two years and the acquisition by Dennis offers countless opportunities to further develop the potential of the title and help us to establish it as a leading innovator in the photography magazine sector. In particular, the expertise and resources that Dennis has in key areas such as marketing, distribution and subscriptions will ensure we can accelerate the growth in readership and take Digital SLR Photography to new levels of success.”&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3504691682526712789-4213404973683935119?l=mediamapmutterings.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://mediamapmutterings.blogspot.com/feeds/4213404973683935119/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=3504691682526712789&amp;postID=4213404973683935119' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3504691682526712789/posts/default/4213404973683935119'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3504691682526712789/posts/default/4213404973683935119'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://mediamapmutterings.blogspot.com/2008/10/dennis-publishing-acquires-digital-slr.html' title='Dennis Publishing Acquires Digital SLR Photography'/><author><name>The Editor</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/08265557945649328179</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3504691682526712789.post-3735019165330150477</id><published>2008-10-30T19:14:00.002Z</published><updated>2008-10-30T19:17:09.085Z</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Future'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Classic Rock'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Metallica'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Classic Rock Roll of Honour Awards'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Chris Ingham'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Powerage'/><title type='text'>Future’s Classic Rock launches record label</title><content type='html'>Future, the special-interest media group has announced that Classic Rock, its bestselling music brand, is launching a new record label dedicated to championing “high voltage” rock music from around the world.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As part of Future’s plans to extend the popular music brand beyond traditional media and celebrate its 10th anniversary, Powerage is a joint venture with leading music distributor and online retailer, Plastic Head Distribution.  The new label’s remit is to promote the specialist acts that Classic Rock champions to its readers.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In its search for talent, Powerage will be headed by respected UK A&amp;amp;R veteran  Derek Oliver who will work with acts on new material, whilst teaming up with Classic Rock to track down foreign bands  and release their material in the UK.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The first releases for Powerage will be the latest album from young Welsh rockers Lethargy, described by Classic Rock as “sounding like a heady cross between the Manic Street Preachers and Metallica” and the new album from Viking Skull – both of which are released on November 3.  Promoting foreign talent, Powerage also offers the first UK releases from California’s Endeverafter and Vancouver’s Pride Tiger on November 10.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Powerage is the latest in a long-line of brand extensions from Classic Rock, which includes live gigs and the annual Classic Rock Roll of Honour Awards – which this year celebrate the career of living legend, Ozzy Osbourne.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Chris Ingham, Publisher of Classic Rock said:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“Over the years we’ve discovered an amazing raft of new hard rock talent at Classic Rock.  It’s always been a huge frustration that nobody at traditional labels seemed to notice all of these great bands and give them the support and backing they need.  Powerage will give our readers the chance to get their hands on some great music from bands who deserve to be heard.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Plastic Head’s Managing Director Steve Beatty added:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“Traditional classic rock is increasingly popular, but we’ve noticed that whilst there are plenty of talented young artists, very few labels are supporting the genre.  It’s very exciting for us to be partnering with Classic Rock to bring this music to the masses.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A&amp;amp;R for Powerage, Derek Oliver commented:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“One of the greatest tragedies of the contemporary music scene has been the lack of support for new upcoming young artists not influenced by current fads and trends, but driven by a serious devotion to their craft. There’s a real ground swell of consumer interest in the classic rock genre, and I believe we can capture this and bring some of the best rock music from every corner of the globe to readers of Classic Rock and beyond.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;All four of Powerage’s first signings will tour the UK in December.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3504691682526712789-3735019165330150477?l=mediamapmutterings.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://mediamapmutterings.blogspot.com/feeds/3735019165330150477/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=3504691682526712789&amp;postID=3735019165330150477' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3504691682526712789/posts/default/3735019165330150477'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3504691682526712789/posts/default/3735019165330150477'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://mediamapmutterings.blogspot.com/2008/10/futures-classic-rock-launches-record.html' title='Future’s Classic Rock launches record label'/><author><name>The Editor</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/08265557945649328179</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3504691682526712789.post-7806070251735704429</id><published>2008-09-16T20:58:00.000+01:00</published><updated>2008-09-24T11:47:47.934+01:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Mike Mirams'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='The Economist'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='National Magazine Company'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Chris Horn'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='National Geographic'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Conde Nast Publications'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='COMAG'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='News International'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='IPC'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Gold Key Media Ltd'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Northern Shell'/><title type='text'>COMAG is delighted to announce the acquisition of 100% of the share capital of Gold Key Media Limited</title><content type='html'>COMAG is delighted to announce the acquisition of 100% of the share capital of Gold Key Media Limited.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Gold Key Media Limited was established in 2001 by Chris Horn and James Pearce and has now become the market leader in the specialist placement and sale of media products to a highly targeted and diverse range of venues.

These deals advance the company’s strategy to continue to develop an exclusive readership consisting of the wealthiest consumers in the world’s fastest growing economies, positioning the 32 year-old brand at the forefront of the well-documented rise in global wealth.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This international trend was detailed earlier this year by the Merrill Lynch/Capgemini 2008 World Wealth Report, which found that 10.1 million individuals worldwide held at least US$1 million in financial assets last year, a 6 percent increase over 2006.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Contributing to this increase were nations already addressed by the Robb Report international portfolio, including China, whose $1-million-plus demographic increased 20 percent during the 12-month period to 415,000 individuals, and Russia, whose figure jumped over 14 percent to 136,000 individuals. The newest editions of the Robb Report will reach the fastest-growing nation in the study, India, whose high net-worth segment rose 22 percent to 136,000 individuals; Indonesia, whose number increased 16 percent to 23,000; and Singapore, which boasts 77,000 individuals with $1 million or more, a 15 percent upsurge.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Scheduled to debut in the fall, Robb Report India unites CurtCo Media with India Today Group. Robb Report India will target the country’s most affluent readers, with a focus on luxury goods and services offered both internationally and in India. The publication will include existing Robb Report content, as well as information specifically for the Indian market.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“It is with great pleasure we announce this long-term partnership, at the perfect time in India’s rapidly growing luxury market,” said India Today Group Chairman Aroon Purie. “We look forward to adding this publication to our stable of market-leading brands, and to furthering our relationships with the wealthiest homes in India.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Established in partnership with SpainMedia Magazines, Robb Report Spain will be the first edition of the magazine ever to be published in Spanish. Robb Report Spain will address the country’s most affluent readers with highly targeted distribution in high net-worth regions, including Madrid, Barcelona, Marbella and Valencia. The publication, which will be unveiled in the fall, will include existing Robb Report content, as well as content specifically crafted for the discerning Spanish marketplace.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“We look forward targeting the wealthiest readers in Spain with the number one brand in the global luxury marketplace” said SpainMedia Magazines President Andres Rodriguez. “We are excited to join Robb Report’s family of partners and continue its editorial prominence in and dedication to connoisseurship for the Spanish market.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Through an agreement with Yellow Pages (Singapore) Limited, Robb Report Singapore will target Southeast Asia’s most affluent readers, with distribution in Singapore, as well as separate editions in Indonesia, Malaysia, the Philippines and Brunei. Scheduled to debut in the fall, the titles will feature content from Robb Report as well as locally produced content.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“We are delighted to have CurtCo Robb Media as a partner. Robb Report defines global luxury lifestyle trends, and arrives at an opportune time in this region when growing affluence is becoming increasingly evident,” said Yellow Pages Singapore’s CEO Danny Chow.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This announcement “furthers our ability to deliver the wealthiest readers in the world to our marketing partners,” said CurtCo Media Senior Vice President and Group Publisher David Arnold. “Because luxury goods and services businesses need to reach these high net-worth homes, Robb Report’s efficiency in delivering this otherwise difficult-to-reach audience attests to the unique global position that we maintain. We look forward to extending the global reach of our brand.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;For more information, please go to www.MediaMapGlobal.com&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3504691682526712789-899698957411610455?l=mediamapmutterings.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://mediamapmutterings.blogspot.com/feeds/899698957411610455/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=3504691682526712789&amp;postID=899698957411610455' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3504691682526712789/posts/default/899698957411610455'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3504691682526712789/posts/default/899698957411610455'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://mediamapmutterings.blogspot.com/2008/09/curtco-media-to-expand-robb-report.html' title='CurtCo Media to expand Robb Report global reach with Launches in India, Spain and Singapore.'/><author><name>The Editor</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/08265557945649328179</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3504691682526712789.post-7668864905239723920</id><published>2008-09-16T19:59:00.000+01:00</published><updated>2008-09-24T11:50:09.744+01:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='ABC Results'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Managing Director of Conde Nast'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Nicholas Coleridge'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='GQ'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Circulation Rise'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Tatler'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='House and Garden'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Conde Nast Traveller'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Vanity Fair'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Glamour'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Vogue'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Easy Living'/><title type='text'>Condé Nast ABC figures Jan to June 2008 - Increases across the board</title><content type='html'>Condé Nast Announces ABC figures Jan to June 2008 -&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Increases for all titles and record-breaking circulations from VOGUE, EASY LIVING, VANITY FAIR and CONDÉ NAST TRAVELLER.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;VOGUE - Record Breaking ABC:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;VOGUE delivers its 13th consecutive circulation increase with a record ABC total of 221,090.
