Murray-Jones said: "I am delighted to be joining Haymarket at such an exciting time in the evolution of online media. Haymarket impressed me with its readiness to invest in new content delivery formats as well as its strong track record in building consumer-focused websites".
Costello said: "This is an exciting and crucial step in our development as a multi-platform media company. [The team] will play a vital part in achieving our change away from a print-centric culture."
