Sport Magazine appoints Tim Hudson as international director

Sport magazine has appointed Tim Hudson as the brand’s first international director. Hudson will be tasked with looking at opportunities to expand the magazine in territories outside of the UK.

Hudson has worked with several major UK publishers across advertising sales, contract publishing and international licensing and was most recently international licensing director at Future Publishing. While at Future, Tim oversaw over 200 licensing agreements with 70 partners in 40 countries.

Hudson said: “I’ve worked with some fantastic brands during my career in publishing, but I’m really looking forward to this new opportunity with Sport. The magazine’s great content is readily transferable to overseas markets and its innovative distribution model delivers a huge but upmarket audience for advertisers. It’s a unique and compelling licensing proposition.”

As part of Sport’s plans, the magazine will be represented for the first time at FIPP’s Worldwide Media Marketplace (WMM) event in London on 29-30 May.
