It’s official! The ink is dry, the business plan in place and I’m proud to formally introduce Stuart Willett and his team of ad sales professionals. Stuart will be the contact for all companies interested in advertising on MSG, sponsoring a podcast series and/or branding a “briefing room” on the site to present their value proposition to the MSG community. You can contact Stuart directly at sw@morianamediagroup.com

Stuart is perhaps best known as Group Publishing Director, Moriana Media Group (MMG), the company that produces trade magazines including Wireless Business Review, Convergence World, Telecoms Europe, and Middle East and Africa Communications. (These magazines are all available in a digitized format, so I encourage you to visit the sites and explore the archives.)

Stuart, whose publishing career spans over a decade, has developed much more than a leading online destination; he has created a knowledge portal that expertly meets the needs of its community with a targeted mix of white papers, technical presen­tations, magazine articles, and webinars. MMG also develops and organizes leading industry events. Chief among these is the Convergence World Awards, which showcases the convergence of fixed and mobile communications, broadcasting and entertainment, and recognizes the innovations and achievements of the companies driving convergence forward.

I’m excited about what MSG and MMG can co-create, and I am also pleased to have an international team in place that can help advertisers address MSG’s growing audience of mobile operators, mobile professionals, and VCs. Since the re-launch in October, MSG has become the essential read for executives worldwide. The people count is impressive, but the engagement (10-minute visits on average) is a testament to the quality of analysis and the breadth of coverage MSG offers.

Naturally, our partnership will be instrumental in taking MSG to the next level. I look forward to introducing MMG readers to MSG content, and I hope for an exciting cross-pollination in the other direction.
