April 28, 2014 10:10

Former Procter and Gamble marketing communications boss Mary Ann Azer is to head industry association Magazine Publishers of Australia (MPA) as its new executive director, replacing Robin Parkes who moved to Telstra’s marketing team earlier this year.

Azer will report to MPA Chairman and CEO of Bauer Media Matthew Stanton and will face the challenge of promoting the magazine industry at time of continuing double digit revenue declines and falling print circulations.

“Mary Ann’s appointment signifies the continuing commitment of the MPA to the ongoing revitalisation and promotion of the magazine publishing industry,” said Stanton, in a statement.

“(Her) skills are ideal to take MPA to the next level and communicate our collective message about the innovative and robust state of the Australian magazine publishing industry.”
