Future adds B2B titles to entertainment portfolio

| Thursday, August 03, 2006

Future has expanded the remit of Simon Maxwell, its film magazines publisher, to include two business-to-business entertainment trade titles.

Maxwell will now publish Home Entertainment Week and its monthly sister magazine, Timecode, in addition to his existing responsibilities on DVD Review, SFX and Total Film.
By bringing the titles under one publisher, Future said it hoped to identify and exploit commercial opportunities across the broader portfolio.
"I'm excited to be covering both the consumer and B2B elements of our enlarged film portfolio," Maxwell said. "There is a natural link across all the titles and Future can fully utilise its combined resources to maximise our market position."
Future has also appointed Michelle Blackwell as head of sales for the B2B titles. Blackwell has been with the company for seven years, working across its consumer electronics, computing and internet portfolios.
She most recently headed advertising sales for the women's-interest division.
