Music strategy consultancy, FRUKT, has announced the promotion of Giles Fitzgerald to the role of Publications Editor, which will see him oversee all of the consulting firm's publishing projects, including "music business intelligence" magazine Five Eight and the recently launched Brands Bands Fans service. He will take over as editor of the former from Eamonn Forde.
FRUKT say Fitzgerald's appointment comes as they "embark on an evolutionary process across its suite of publications. The decisive move will see a restructuring of content in order to fully equip individuals in all sectors of the music, entertainment and brand industries with the tools they need to drive their business forward".
Anthony Ackenhoff, Joint-MD of FRUKT and publisher of Five Eight told CMU: "As a company, FRUKT aim to drive things forward in the music business, and the appointment of Giles and our plans for our publications are completely in line with our Group's thinking".
