IPC Media

Working with IPC Media

We're a company with well over 100 years of publishing experience, but we're also leading the media industry into the future. And that means evolving and extending our market-leading magazine brands, and our relationships with customers and advertisers, into new and different media areas. Focused on our five core markets - TV, women, men's lifestyle & entertainment, home & garden and leisure – many of our brands are household names. And they're probably regulars in your household too. But the strength of our business is our people. It's the people behind the brands who provide the creativity, innovation, talent and commitment that makes IPC Media the UK's number one consumer publisher.

Our creative diversity generates an abundance of career opportunities within our 2,200-plus team. The company is committed to attracting, retaining and developing the very best talent. We encourage promotion from within, constantly seeking to create fulfilling career paths for our employees, through a range of learning and development activities.

Starting points

When you join our team you'll receive a welcome pack containing in-depth information about IPC, our policies, the range of benefits we offer - basically everything you'll need! This is complemented by an induction presentation where you'll join other newcomers in learning about our brands and divisions, as well as our partners in the Time Warner family.

Working together

IPC is an Equal Opportunities Employer. We believe in openness and transparency with our employees, posting company policies and procedures on the IPC intranet, Insider. Updated daily, Insider is designed to keep employees closely involved in the huge array of activities across the various parts of the business, making communication and interaction easy. IPC has an active Staff Council, an employee-representative body created for consultation with the company's management team. This body is well-established and fully complies with the requirements of consultation legislation recently implemented in the UK.

Established stars

IPC Media is synonymous with publishing excellence, and celebrating our success is an integral part of the company's culture. In-house annual awards recognise individual and team achievements in advertising sales, editorial and marketing over the previous 12 months and serve as a high-profile reminder of the wealth of talent that exists in all areas of the IPC business.

And IPC really is a business where people feel a sense of belonging. Many people have chosen to develop their career with us. And we're proud of the fact that more than 15 per cent of our employees have 15 years-plus service, and we reward that loyalty by paying them an extra week's salary.
