Nick Stevens will lead the external client team, driving business and integrated partnerships with Hearst’s valued partners.
Stevens brings more than 25 years’ experience in senior commercial roles at some of the UK’s biggest publishers. At DMGT he was responsible for print advertising revenue across Daily Mail and The Mail on Sunday, before becoming Digital Sales Director.

He said: “Hearst UK’s iconic brands are known for their distinctive, globally respected voices and the trusted relationships they build with their audiences. As we create more ways for people to connect with those brands, and our membership propositions continue to scale, there has never been a better time for partners to get involved and build meaningful connections with our audiences. I’m excited to work with Alex and the team to develop partnerships that deliver value for audiences and partners alike.”
Alex Unitt, Chief Commercial Officer, Hearst commented: “I’m thrilled that Nick has joined us as Head of Client Partners. Nick brings with him deep industry relationships, extensive commercial experience and a track record of delivering growth and innovation.
