Starting A Magazine: The Next Professionals In Media Topic
Veteran publisher Brian O’Leary will lead a discussion on how to start a magazine. He will address members of Professional In Media on Wednesday, March 22, at 7 p.m.
The meeting will be held at 123 Roland Avenue in South Orange.
O’Leary is the founder and principal of Magellan Consulting Partners, whose clients include major media firms (BusinessWeek, Conde Nast, Financial Times and Gruner + Jahr, among others). Work done by the firm most often results in both immediate and mid-term changes in processes, structures and in some cases technologies used to produce client content. For Magellan clients, O’Leary has also written several business plans to guide start-up and growth opportunities.
Prior to starting Magellan Media, O’Leary served as senior vice president and associate publisher with Hammond Inc., an internationally recognized geographic reference publisher. Responsible for editorial content, database development, production and operations, O’Leary restructured editorial operations to benefit from the firm’s prior technology investments.
Before Hammond, O’Leary directed operations at several of Time Inc.’s weekly magazines and was part of the team that launched Entertainment Weekly. He joined the firm in 1983, after earning an M.B.A. from Harvard Business School.
O’Leary will also talk about websites, free content, and other issues affecting people in the media.
