Jo Smalley Appointed Publishing Director Of Nuts And Loaded

IPC ignite! has announced that Jo Smalley is to be promoted to the role of publishing director of men’s lifestyle brands, Nuts and Loaded.

The announcement follows the appointment of Eric Fuller from the role to managing director of the division last month (see Eric Fuller New MD of IPC Ignite!).

Smalley joined IPC ignite! in November 2003 as managing editor on the launch of Nuts, the men’s weekly which immediately took the number one position in the weekly market.

Prior to joining ignite! Smalley was group managing editor of Arena, Arena Homme Plus and Pop. He takes over from Eric Fuller in his new role on September 18.

Fuller said: “I’m delighted to appoint Jo as publishing director of Nuts and Loaded, and welcome him to the board of ignite!”

“Jo has already proved himself to be a valued and respected publisher. He works seamlessly across the Nuts brand team, and his skill, commitment and resourcefulness have all helped drive our amazing success. I’m very confident he’ll bring all those qualities to his new and expanded role, and reinforce our reputation as the market leaders in publishing for men.”
