Nextmedia


Nextmedia Pty Limited is an Australian media company which publishes special interest magazines in the sport, humor, and hobby. The company is headquartered in Sydney and owned by The Forum Media Group, a German-based B2B and B2C publisher.
Nextmedia is Australia's foremost special interest digital and print media publisher, and has become the country's fourth-largest magazine publishing group.
Nextmedia was established in 2008, as a new entrant to the special interest publishing sector. Nextmedia was managed by CEO David Gardiner and Commercial Director Bruce Duncan until 2018, when Duncan retired, Hamish Bayliss was appointed Managing Director, and David Gardiner 'stepped back' to a role as Executive Chairman. In 2020, Arek Widawski was appointed a CEO of Nextmedia.

History

Nextmedia was founded in 2007 by acquiring the publishing assets of four companies:
In 2013, Nextmedia itself was acquired by the Forum Media Group. Shortly thereafter, Nextmedia acquired the assets of Haymarket Media Pty Ltd.
In 2018, consumer computing and tech assets were sold to Future plc. Future subsequently acquired more consumer titles of Nextmedia including Australian Camera, Australian Guitar, Australian Hi-Fi, ProPhoto, and Sound+Image.
