Haymarket rolls out Autocar and Stuff in China

SHANGHAI: SCMP Haymarket Publishing has entered into a cooperative and licensing arrangement with Shanghai Technology Products Magazine Agency to publish and distribute Autocar and Stuff, a car and lifestyle technology title respectively from the UK.

The Chinese-language publications will focus on local products and services, complemented with the design specifications of its British counterparts.

SCMP Haymarket's general manager, Jeremy Vaughan, said: "The main criteria for us in tying up these international arrangements is to find a partner who will develop the brand for us internationally."

Within Asia, Haymarket has signed local licensing agreements for Stuff in Singapore and Malaysia, and for Autocar in Indonesia, Singapore and Malaysia. Haymarket's Hong Kong, Singapore and London offices will handle overseas advertising.
