The Economist magazine has appointed the Manchester office of media sales representation house Media-Link to handle its ad sales outside London.
Media-Link will represent both the print and online Economist editions from Manchester with the agency’s Stirling office handling Scottish sales.
The Economist maintained offices in Manchester and Edinburgh until fairly recently. The Economist’s UK ad director, David Weeks, said: "I am confident that the combination of regional expertise and skilled account handling by Media-Link will ensure the high level of service you would expect from The Economist Group".
 Reid Media-Link’s managing director, Tim Reid, added: “The Economist is an iconic brand and we’re delighted to be working with them in the UK to grow their revenues from the regions”. He also added it’s a case of dream come true for him as he has personally coveted the brand and business for 16 years. Other Media-Link clients include the newspapers The Daily Mail, The Independent and The Evening Standard, magazines Real Homes, Sugar and Red, the digital operations of Associated Northcliffe and Virgin Radio.
The company also held the contract for Yahoo outside London until recently when the US search company decided instead to expand its Manchester operation internally.
In October, Media-Link picked up the ShortList ad sales business with MEN Media winning the weekly's distribution business.
