Frankie Press co-founders depart as Morrison Media moves sales hub to Melbourne
Frankie
The co-founders of Frankie Press Lara Burke and Louise Bannister will leave the company this month after launching the magazine nearly ten years ago.
Burke, the magazine’s creative director, and Bannister, publisher of the title, founded Frankie in 2004 and are moving on to “pursue their creative partnership in a new direction”.
“It is bittersweet to leave Frankie Press, as the publications are extensions of ourselves, our interests and our love of print,” they said in a statement. “We are proud as punch to have founded Frankie magazine and are truly delighted with its ongoing achievements.”
Can someone explain the difference between Frankie Press and Morrison Media? Thanks
Frankie will never be the same. What was once individual will now turn into every other mag (cue Yen et al.)
Absolutely great team – their next venture will no doubt be a huge success.
WTF???????
Noooooooooooooooo!!!
I love everything about the mag due to these amazing individuals. I will be following closely their next creative venture.
Two very talented and amazing people. They will do so well in whatever they take on next.
Good luck ladies
Been following the fortunes of these 2 individuals since they started, From buying Chick, through to seeing Frankie in Norwich, London, Frankfurt and Sydney. Their vision creatively executed in print. What a loss. On the positive side, wow, what an opportunity to again, show the world your talents~ class is permanent! I look forward to seeing the next venture – good luck ladies!
Sorry to see them go and look forward to seeing what their next adventure brings. I have no doubt whatever it is will bring them great success and I look forward to it xx Lisa – Editor Renegade Collective
