Salary benchmarks
Otta's take
Sam Franklin
CEO of Otta
Condé Nast is a global media company responsible for producing print, digital, video and social brands. These include Vogue, GQ, The New Yorker, Vanity Fair, and Architectural Digest. The company now operates in over 32 markets and has ventured out with entertainment and education divisions.
With the decline in printed media, Condé Nast has held its market-leading position by recognising that it is no longer just a ‘magazine company’. Millions more consumers interact with its digital and social content over those who read the magazines. Not only does it now prioritise its digital content but to account for the collapse of print advertising, Condé Nast moved titles behind online paywalls.
Targeting future growth, Condé Nast in 2022 appointed a strategy and corporate development role to seek out new opportunities, and has placed great efforts into building its entertainment division. Recently, the company has had to lay off a number of its staff and undergo some restructuring, but it is doubtful this will have a major effect on its operations.
