Modern Luxury, the regional magazine publisher, has landed two veteran publishers to bolster its national sales team.
Marcy Bloom, who headed to Ghana to work with orphans after her job as publisher of Lucky magazine ended a year ago, has landed as a senior vice president and group publisher at Modern Luxury.
Michael Wolfe, a veteran publisher of Men’s Journal at Wenner Media, and who was most recently publisher of The Week and the digital site Mental Floss, is also joining Modern Luxury as publisher.
Wolfe will be charged with overseeing national sales for the sprawling network of 40 luxury magazines.
Bloom will be the top national sales and marketing executive at the company that is headed by CEO Michael Dickey.
The Dickey family is also behind radio network Cumulus Media, although the privately held publisher and the publicly traded radio company operate independently.
Modern Luxury battles Niche Media, owned by the feuding Greenspun family in Las Vegas, for dominance in the regional magazine market.
Niche recently launched Austin magazine, and Modern luxury recently acquired Scottsdale.
Last year Modern Luxury launched Beach to square off against one of Niche’s flagships titles, Hamptons Magazine.
