Chris Sheard joins YUDU Media

• Monday, 15 June 2009

YUDU Media, the award winning provider of digital publishing solutions, has appointed Chris Sheard as online subscriptions marketing manager.

Starting with immediate effect, Sheard will be responsible for increasing YUDU Media’s subscriptions portfolio which already includes titles such as Volksworld magazine
and Avantoure magazine.

Sheard joins direct from John Menzies Digital, the company behind the recently folded magazinesondemand.co.uk, where he was marketing executive. The shutting of magazinesondemand.co.uk has left a gap within the UK market and one of Sheard’s key roles will be to help publications left stranded by the firm’s closure to resurrect their digital presence.

Sheard says: “YUDU Media’s digital publishing technology is a world leading solution used by a vast array of publishers and I’m absolutely delighted to be joining such a strong team.”

Richard Stephenson, CEO of YUDU Media, says: “Chris brings with him in-depth knowledge and expertise of the UK online magazine market and this will be indispensable to YUDU Media as we move forward. We have ambitious plans for this sector.”
