hub to create content across Bauer’s media brands

Bauer Media Group owns more than 600 print, digital, TV, and radio brands across 17 countries and is famous for mainstream magazines including Grazia, Q, and Empire. It also operates radio and TV stations including Kiss, Kerrang!, Absolute, and Scala Radio.

In addition to publishing its regular magazine titles, Bauer needed a way to make the sharing of content between brands and, editors and contributors much easier and more efficient. Following a pilot project for Grazia, Bauer implemented censhare in 2013.

We decided on censhare because it was a complete product rather than a series of integrations. We can do 95 percent of what we need to do out of the box.
