WASHINGTON, Jan. 12, 2007 (PRIME NEWSWIRE) -- In another indication of the shifting landscape in B2B media from print to online, FierceMarkets (http://www.fiercemarkets.com) today announced that it has hired Sue Marek and Brian Tellinghuisen, both formerly of Wireless Week, as part of a continued expansion of talent within the fast-growing digital B2B media company. Marek, previously executive editor at Wireless Week, will serve as editor-in-chief of FierceWireless (http://www.fiercewireless.com), the company's flagship publication in the telecom industry with more than 73,000 subscribers. She also will head FierceMarkets' Telecom & Digital Media Group of publications, including FierceDeveloper, FierceWiFi, FierceVoIP, FierceIPTV, FierceGameBiz and FierceMobileContent, and will help launch new webinars and events on related topics.
Tellinghuisen, previously electronic sales manager at Wireless Week, brings more than 20 years of sales expertise to the FierceMarkets team. In his new role as senior account executive, he will focus on servicing the needs of recruiters and will help build a job listing service to serve all FierceMarkets publications.
"We are thrilled to welcome Sue and Brian to the FierceMarkets team," said Jeff Giesea, president of FierceMarkets. "As the growth of B2B media shifts online, it makes sense that the best talent goes with it. With Brian and Sue on our team, the sky is the limit."
According to a report from Veronis Suhler Stevenson, online B2B media is poised to grow 21.4 percent annually over the next four years, versus 2.9 percent for print B2B media. FierceMarkets is actively capitalizing on this shift through its portfolio of market-specific email newsletters and corresponding websites, webinars and live events.
