Wallpaper* Appoints New Publisher To Lead Ad Arm

Wallpaper* has appointed Christopher Lockwood as publisher with responsibility for leading the magazine’s advertising and commercial arm.

Lockwood will report to publishing director Richard Johnstone who commented: “Christopher’s track record of working within the luxury brand advertising and fashion markets will complement the Wallpaper* business.”

Prior to joining Wallpaper* Lockwood worked at rival Dazed group, where he was an advertising director on style titles Dazed and Confused, Intersection and Another Magazine. He also previously worked at agencies TMD Carat and CIA in the media planning and buying department.
