Trade team join Intent for new ventures
The publishing company behind games retail monthly InStock has today gone into liquidation.
Skep Media told over a dozen staff today that recent economic pressures have taken their toll on the company, which had grown quickly via acquisition over the past two years.
Group publisher David Lilley and events director Anju Chadda have both joined MCV publisher Intent Media to work on new projects. Other former Skep staff are also being offered positions at Intent Media.
"We have huge respect for the Skep team. The company has been unfortunate, dragged down by the recent financial downturn. But there are talented people there who can help drive us into new areas," commented Intent boss Stuart Dinsey.
As well as publishing InStock, Skep's business included a dominant position in the DVD market.

It's crap when people lose their jobs
I have to say I thought the publication lost its niche market and credibility when Dale Bradford departed.
All the same, I wish them all the best of luck in the future.
Re: It's crap when people lose their jobs
I wish all the staff the best for the future. However I never really made up my mind about In Stock or its predecessors. I could never really decide if it had any real value in terms of influencing buying decisions or if it was another way to burn marketing budget which meant you could include £x0,000 as a 'trade spend' as point 28 on your powerpoint presentation.
Re: Re: It's crap when people lose their jobs
Regardless of what you thought of the magazine, the team behind it are dedeicated professionals who care a lot about this industry.
Im glad they will continue working within Intent and both teams will benefit from working together.

It's a shame to see folk in trouble... but In Stock was rubbish
Re: Indie
Whatever happened to Indie?
That was always a good read.
Re: Re: Indie
It was 'revamped' and re-emerged as Instock when Dale Bradford moved sideways to become the 21st century's answer to Larry Flint.
