On Friday November 8,  a number of industry voices will be convening under one roof at the PPA Independent Publisher Conference to talk about a variety of topics including product management in publishing. I spoke with Laura Jenner, Product Director at Immediate Media, who will be presenting on this particular subject, having established herself as a key player in product management within the publishing industry. We spoke about her journey from editorial to product, the difference between the two when it comes to deadlines and the ways in which product has evolved over the last decade.

Centaur Media Plc, announced that Simon Longfield has been appointed as chief financial officer in succession to Swag Mukerji, who was promoted to chief executive in September 2019.

Readly, a digital magazine subscription platform, is launching a new service dedicated to bringing curated articles from publishers directly to its readers.

As Rouleur gears up for Rouleur Classic, their three-day cycling event starting tomorrow, I managed to steal a spare moment with their Marketing Manager, Ben Ward, to speak about the power of the Rouleur brand.

Ben spoke about the importance of validity and honesty when building a magazine brand, ensuring it stays true to itself. It is the deep understanding of what the Rouleur audience want and need that won them PPA Independent Publisher Brand of the Year last year and got them on the shortlist for 6 categories this year.
