The deputy editor of Campaign, Claire Beale, has been promoted to editor of the weekly magazine.
Campaign’s previous editor since 2000, Caroline Marshall, becomes executive editor with responsibility for special projects. Francesca Newland moves up from news editor to the deputy editor post.
The appointments at the Haymarket title come ahead of a redesign due to be completed by the autumn. The magazine will enhance its coverage of media and marketing issues and widen its appeal to the core creative advertising community.
