Bauer takes full ownership of OK!

Bauer Media now fully owns the Australian and New Zealand editions of OK! Magazine after the publishing company purchased the remaining stake in the publication.

Previously, the publication was co-owned by Northern and Shell, which published the weekly title from 2004 until 2007. Bauer Media bought a 50 per cent stake in the publication in 2007.

Matthew Stanton, CEO of Bauer Media, says the purchase demonstrates the company’s commitment to the market and the title itself. OK! is a key brand in our publishing portfolio and we look forward to taking the title to the next level, with further investment in a number of publishing initiatives across multi-platforms,” Stanton says.
