Haymarket wins CIPD People Management contract

After winning an extensive pitch process, Haymarket Network, the agency arm of Haymarket Media Group, will publish the monthly People Management magazine and produce content for all the CIPD's digital platforms, while Haymarket Business Media will manage recruitment, display advertising and drive all commercial activities.

Andrew Taplin, managing director for Haymarket Network said: "We are delighted to have been chosen by the CIPD to publish People Management. We believe this reflects our commitment to engaging editorial, our commercial B2B advertising expertise, our global footprint and our investment in digital channels.

"We are full of ideas to keep People Management as essential reading for all HR professionals, and we look forward to developing our close relationship with the CIPD, as we work to make the magazine and associated digital channels work even harder as the CIPD approaches its centenary."

Sue Upton, interim managing director at the CIPD, said: "We are entering an important next phase for the CIPD as we move to a more digital and indeed global future. We thank Personnel Publications Limited for the work they have done over the years establishing People Management magazine as a premier HR brand, and we very much look forward to working with Haymarket to build on its success and take PM onto the next stage of its development."

The CIPD is the world's largest Chartered HR and development professional body, with more than 135,000 members. People Management, published monthly, is one of the most widely read and influential titles in the UK for HR directors, HR managers and experts in reward, recruitment and associated disciplines.

Haymarket will begin publishing the magazine with the August 2012 issue.
