Trusted Media Brands Inc. has promoted Lee Zellweger to publisher of Reader’s Digest. Zellweger recently served as the West Coast integrated sales director for the brand.
As publisher, he'll focus on increasing revenue, and managing the sales and marketing strategies for Reader's Digest. Zellweger will still be based in Los Angeles with the brand's sales team reporting to him.
“We are committed to our digital strategy and are experiencing an exciting time of growth,” Rich Sutton, CRO of Trusted Media Brands, said in a statement. “As sales director for Reader’s Digest, Lee achieved solid revenue growth for the brand, and as publisher, we know his strong leadership style and innovative ideas will continue to support our digital strategy.”
Prior to joining TMB, Zellweger was the West Coast corporate advertising sales director for the Meredith Corporation, where he developed and executed cross-platform revenue generation programs. Before he took that role, Zellweger was the West Coast ad director for Us Weekly.
