Andrew Cook, director of sales at Are Media, has resigned after five successful years with the company. Cook, who joined Are Media in February 2020, will officially depart in May 2025, following a six-month transition period.
Jane Huxley, CEO of Are Media, praised Cook’s contributions during his tenure, highlighting his integral role in the company’s evolution into an omnichannel media business. “Andrew has played an important role in the transformation of Are Media into an omnichannel media company, as well as the expansion of our market-leading magazine brands into new areas,” Huxley said.
Under Cook’s leadership, Are Media strengthened its position in the market with its portfolio of luxury, homes, lifestyle, and entertainment brands. His passion for the magazine industry and his commitment to delivering strong results for clients were key drivers of the company’s success.
