Ad Age executive editor leaving

Advertising Age named Abbey Klaassen as its new executive editor on Thursday, replacing Jonah Bloom, who is leaving Ad Age to become CEO and editor-in-chief of B2B blog network Breaking Media.

An Ad Age story states, “Ms. Klaassen, currently digital editor for Ad Age, joined the publication five years ago, and has developed a number of successful new products for Ad Age, including the annual Digital Issue and companion Ad Age Digital Conference, the Digital Next blog and her twice-weekly newsletter. Her experience at Ad Age before that includes coverage of TV, radio and out-of-home advertising.

“Before joining Ad Age, she was assistant editor in Minneapolis at Mpls-St. Paul Magazine, and wrote for the Twin Cities Business Monthly.

“‘Jonah did a tremendous job for us as editor, and we will definitely miss him,’ said Rance Crain, Ad Age editor-in-chief. ‘But Abbey is a great editor in her own right. We are very happy to see her move into this new role as leader of the Ad Age editorial team.'”
