Mance reports, “Chris Stibbs said the company — which owns the Economist magazine and other information businesses — had lost about £50m, or 46 per cent of the total, in print advertising since reporting record results in 2012.
“It is now aiming to grow in other areas, such as producing more content for brands and offering other marketing services.
“‘We will grow this year, and we will keep growing,’ said Mr Stibbs. ‘It will be marketing services that will eventually replace the advertising.’
“Sales at the Economist Group — which is half-owned by the Financial Times — fell 1 per cent to £328m in the 12 months ending in March. Pre-tax profit rose £2m to £59m.”
