Lori Miles appointed editor-in-chief at Cedar

Customer publisher Cedar has appointed launch magazine veteran Lori Miles as its editor-in-chief.

She returns to journalism after a two-year stint at advertising agency WCRS and will head Cedar's editorial operations.

Her new role will focus largely on developing the publisher’s portfolio of blue-chip titles; her success in launching five women's titles in her career, including Take a Break and Mizz, standing her in firm stead.

Commenting on her appointment, Ms Miles said: "Cedar has without doubt an exceptional portfolio of titles and to be their editor-in-chief is a huge honour. I hope my newsstand experience will help produce wonderful work for their clients."

Editorial director Mark Jones, added: "We needed to bring someone in who had a tremendous track record - that went without saying. But this, more than any other area of publishing, also requires people skills of a high order.

"Lori is a passionate and yet very grounded person to work with and she’ll be a huge asset to our editorial staff and our clients."
