Ms Winnie Lau, formerly advertising and purchasing manager for
Louis Vuitton Pacific, has joined Hachette Filipacchi Hong Kong as
managing director and publisher. In addition, Ms Amanda Turnbull-Ashe
has been named publishing consultant for the group in both the Hong Kong
and China markets. Ms Christine Brendle, president and CEO for Hachette
Filipacchi Asia-Pacific, said that Ms Lau's experience and understanding
of the world of luxury goods was a major asset, as this category was
"the cornerstone of advertising revenue for Elle, Car & Driver and
Orient Beauty". Ms Turnbull-Ashe has been with Hachette Filipacchi since
1994 in regional as well as Hong Kong/China capacities. She will
continue to assist the group with its plans to develop its brands across
print and new media, and to grow through acquisitions and partnerships.
