Mark Frith is set to return (sort of) to Bauer Media in an Editorial Director role overseeing a bunch of lifestyle and entertainment titles, including FHM, Grazia, Zoo and Empire.

The former Smash Hits editor, perhaps best known for reinventing a then flagging Heat magazine into the c’leb rag we all know and love today, Frith spent many years with magazine makers EMAP before leaving in 2008 just before Bauer Media took over the company. His most high profile role since then was as Editor of Time Out, though he consulted on a number of other magazines too, including new pop title We Love Pop!

Frith will join Bauer in the New Year. His appointment was announced at the same time as the promotion of Abby Carvosso, currently Bauer’s Head Of Magazine Sales, to the role of MD Lifestyle & Advertising. Confirming both appointments, Bauer Media CEO Paul Keenan said: “These appointments are indicative of Bauer Media’s continued commitment and investment in the delivery of world class editorial products and commercial operations. Mark and Abby are both very strong, very talented leaders and will play an important part in the further development of our vision for the future”.
