Congratulations to Michael Christensen who has today been announced as the new editor of GQ Australia.
News Corp Australia director of prestige and lifestyle Nick Smith made the announcement this morning, saying: “Michael has an incredible passion for the GQ brand, and an innate understanding of our mission of helping ambitious young men become successful gentlemen.
“As we move into the 20th anniversary year of GQ Australia, the GQ brand is on a high, with our highest readership levels, the strongest digital and social audience in the men’s premium lifestyle category and an incredible experiential platform in the GQ Men of the Year Awards. I have Michael and our brilliant team to thank for that.
“But we’re not done there, in the next six months we’ll see a supercharged digital proposition for GQ, an exciting new program we’re calling the Gentlemen’s Initiative and celebrations as we work towards our 20th birthday. I’m glad Mike’s in the hot seat to bring all this to market.”
Christensen has been at GQ Australia for five years, spending the past 18 months as managing editor. Speaking on his new role, Christensen says: “It’s a huge privilege to be appointed editor of GQ Australia. I would like to thank Nick for his continued support and mentorship over the past 18 months. Together with the extremely talented and dynamic team I’m fortunate to have at GQ, we are excited about, and dedicated to, fulfilling the responsibilities a brand like GQ has in today’s society.”
