New boss of Haymarket Business Media Jane Macken is slashing away at the cost base – in search of that [...]

Life looked a bit grim for Haymarket, publisher of Campaign, Management Today, Brand Republic and What Car? among many others, last year after a pre-tax loss in 2009 of £3.7m. This was only the half of it as the company, now wholly-owned by the Heseltine family, was forced to mortgage its collection of properties around [...]

WPP CEO, head of the world’s biggest marcoms group, has given a fascinating interview to Brand Republic’s Arif Durrani in which he outlines the group’s strategy and what he thinks of his competitors (apparently Interpublic’s HR director, whoever that may be, devotes his life to nicking WPP staff).

And how long will it be before other leading Centaur titles like Marketing Week, Creative Review, The Lawyer and Money Marketing follow Design Week and New Media Age into online-only publishing?

This is absolutely brilliant, a spoof agency of the year submission for Strategy magazine from Toronto agency John St. Called ‘Pink Ponies: a case history’ it almost has you believing it all. “In a crowded birthday market we didn’t didn’t just create a birthday party we created a birthday movement.” Well spotted by Brand Republic, [...]

Procurement used to be the prerogative of pimps or procurers, revenue maximisers for prostitutes.
