Lachlan Murdoch may soon own Adweek and the Clio Awards in Nielsen Business Media play
According to a report in today's SMH, which originated in the Financial Times, Lachlan Murdoch is close to making a joint bid for Nielsen Business Media, which owns US trade magazines including Billboard and The Hollywood Reporter. Nielsen also owns Adweek and the Clio Awards, one of the top 4 international advertising shows.
Incidentally, Campaign Brief is the Clio Ambassador for Australia
and Lachlan is no stranger to advertising festivals himself, having
being honoured as the 2005 Cannes Advertising Person of the Year and he
was a special guest at the CB Colombe d'Or Lunch that year.
Perhaps that is where the seed of this play for Nielsen originated!
Murdoch is pictured at the Lunch with Ted Royer (then at Publicis New York, now Droga5, New York), Matt Long
(Goodoil Sydney), Gary Freedman (The Glue Society, New York) and David
Nobay (then at Saatchi & Saatchi Sydney, now Droga5 Sydney). And
also with Lunch co-host Patsy Peacock, principal of FBI Recruitment,
Sydney.

Bad news for AdWeek, good news for the Clio's
That's a lovely shot of Lachlan with his groupies.
