Our take
Originally founded in 1968, the aim of Time Out was to provide reliable information about cultural happenings through the form of a magazine. It was intended to be an 'insider's guide' and included details about art, film, concerts, theatres and more.
Since then its diversified to include food and restaurants, and has straddled both the travel and hospitality sectors. And to keep up with the times, it has transitioned to digital advertising and social media.
Its also received new equity investment through a 2016 IPO, and made big strategic moves from this. Part of this move included stopping the print publication and instead placing a greater emphasis on its digital content. Time Out's current CEO, Chris Ohlund, has said he would be leading the company into its 'next phase of global growth' which has so far included the announcement of a global video collaboration program amongst its digital innovations.
