Our take
Immediate Media is a multinational publishing house that originated from the combined assets of multiple, formerly independent publishing houses, such as BBC Magazines, Magicalia, and Future.
Immediate, which was acquired by Hubert Burda Media in 2017, stands out for its niche as a content and platform company that only focuses on special interest markets, offering content from over 75 consumer brands ranging from Radio Times and CBeebies to BBC History and Cycling Plus. This breadth of specialised content has led to over 74M global consumers.
The company continues to see growth as it acquires new companies to expand its portfolio. Already the UK’s leading food media publisher - boasting 30M monthly users in this sector - it recently acquired Nutracheck, a food diary app and website, to enhance its food portfolio and further expand its digital capabilities.

Diversity, Equity & Inclusion at Immediate Media Co
- Improving Diversity & Inclusion in our company and content is a key priority for Immediate, we’re striving to create a more diverse and inclusive environment and to ensure our content is representative of all our audiences. To help achieve this, we have developed a strategy focused on four key strands: Empowering Network groups, Education and Training, Editorial and External, and Recruitment and Processes.
- To support our overall Diversity & Inclusion strategy and help drive change and hold us accountable to our objectives – in 2022 we will be launching our D&I panel, chaired by Jo Brandl, HR Director and Chris Kerwin, Group Managing Director, alongside other senior leaders within the company and representatives of Immediate D&I network groups. The panel will work to align the networks’ missions to business objectives, partner with the chairs to address issues that arise and help form a wider strategy to address the priorities of each network.
- We have established five internal D&I network groups to help our people feel supported, included, and provide an open environment for people to network, mentor and exchange ideas, solutions, and experiences. Have a look at the below video to find out more about our network groups.
