Request for changes to Marketing Week

I have a conflict of interest as I work for the organisation discussed in this article. I’d like to propose the following changes:

Fact box: Marketing Week Change publisher: Haymarket Media Group Change company: Haymarket Media Group

Reason/evidence for change: https://pressgazette.co.uk/the-wire/media-mergers-news-tracker/haymarket-acquires-marketing-week-and-creative-review-from-centaur/

History and Profile, paragraph 4: Change: Marketing Week is owned by the LSE-listed company Centaur Media plc. To: Marketing Week was formerly owned by the LSE-listed company Centaur Media plc.

History and Profile, paragraph 6, final sentence: Remove: Among other senior staff are Group Managing Director Jane Turner (2016 -) and Ed Tillotson, managing director of the Marketing and Creative Portfolio.

Reason: These staff have left.

History and Profile, paragraph 7:

Change: Marketing Week’s main columnists include Mark Ritson, Thomas Barta, Helen Edwards, cartoonist Tom Fishburne, Tanya Joseph, and Helen Tupper. To: Marketing Week’s main columnists have included Mark Ritson, Thomas Barta, Helen Edwards, cartoonist Tom Fishburne, Tanya Joseph, and Helen Tupper.

Reason: Not all these columnists are currently writing for the title.

History and Profile, paragraph 8:

Change: Marketing Week is also involved with Centaur Media's Festival of Marketing, also held annually in London. Marketing Week celebrated its 40th birthday at the most recent Festival of Marketing. To: Marketing Week runs the Festival of Marketing, also held annually in London.

Reason: Marketing Week now runs Festival of Marketing and it is part of the website. [Evidence: https://www.marketingweek.com/festival-of-marketing/] Second sentence is out of date.

History and Profile, paragraph 9:

Remove: Centaur also publishes the Design Week and Creative Review websites.

Reason: No longer relevant as Marketing Week no longer published by Centaur.

Add as last para, History and Profile:

In September 2025, Haymarket Media Group bought Marketing Week, the Festival of Marketing and Creative Review from Centaur Media for £3.9m in cash.

Hi, I have updated the article per your requests. The one thing is that I could not find a clear statement that Marketing Week runs the Festival of Marketing; I adjusted the text in the article, but did not use "runs"-- do you have a reference to a reliable, independent source that could corroborate this?
