ACP will now handle the publishing contracts for seven magazines in total – including Cathay’s flagship title Discovery – and has signed on Hong Kong-based Asian Integrated Media to handle international sales for all publications, inflight entertainment and ambient media.
Monica Woo, Emphasis Media managing director would not confirm the exact number of affected staff with Media. “We have undergone a restructuring in the wake of the announcement. Obviously, these situations are extremely painful for any company and for affected staff. We have made our best efforts to reassign several key personnel within the company,” she noted.
ACP will launch a Hong Kong operation to service the new account.
