the client is a well-established magazine focused on lifestyle, nightlife, and related entertainment content, with both print and digital editions. It operates with a small remote team and is supported by private investment. The CEO will be responsible for advancing the magazine’s overall direction and growth across its print and digital presence.
the client’s CEO will lead the development of the magazine by implementing a new partnership and acquisition strategy targeting other startups in areas such as lifestyle, nightlife, concerts, dating, and contests—especially those that may benefit from the magazine’s readership and exposure. The role emphasizes entrepreneurial leadership, strategic dealmaking, and the ability to expand the publication’s reach and offerings through external collaborations and acquisitions.
the ideal candidate is a media or lifestyle entrepreneur with prior leadership experience at the Director, VP, or C-level level, and an interest in an equity-driven opportunity to develop the magazine. Experience with well-known lifestyle and media brands may be appreciated, reflecting a background in editorial leadership, publishing, and audience-focused growth.
