Teeman now has responsibility for the advertising across the entire Immediate Media portfolio, which includes the former BBC Magazines and the other publishing companies owned by Exponent including Origin Publishing and Magicalia Media.
Teeman will have responsibility for devising and implementing the sales strategy across the 149-strong sales force (98 of whom are based in London; five are based in Manchester; and 46 in Bristol).
Teeman will report to Duncan Tickell, previously managing director, publishing at Magicalia, who will become commercial director, Immediate Media. Teeman will also have a "dotted line" of report directly to Bureau.
In his new role Tickell will have overall responsibility for advertising sales, ecommerce and enterprise, subscriptions, and international licensing.
