Bauer Media streamlines UK business
By Chris Cooke | Published on Thursday 12 May 2016
Bauer Media – owner of music brands like Kerrang, Q and Kiss, among many other media assets – has announced a structural rejig that will bring all of its magazine, radio and digital operations in the UK and Nordic markets under one CEO, Paul Keenan.
The firm’s UK magazine operations were previously split into two units, Bauer Media and H Bauer Publishing. The latter will now be subsumed by the former, streamlining management hierarchies in a bid to increase efficiencies. You know, that kind of shizzle. The current boss of H Bauer Publishing is departing.
Says Andreas Schoo, Executive Board Member of the Bauer Media Group, “To increase our growth, operational performance and competitiveness we have decided to consolidate our UK and Nordic operations, under the leadership of Paul. This will strengthen our business for the future and enable us to seize new opportunities in these key territories”.
Says Keenan said: “Bauer Media is exceptionally well positioned with a unique set of influential brands living across multiple channels and devices. This multi-media offer makes us a compelling marketing partner for our clients and an exciting and different content creator. I am delighted to have the opportunity to take the business further forward, and to meet the many exciting opportunities that lie ahead”.
