SpinMedia Bulks Up in Marketing

Company projects 25%-30% growth in Q1

The tide may be turning for entertainment publisher SpinMedia Group, as the company today ramps up its sales and integrated marketing teams.

SpinMedia—which includes sites The Frisky, Stereogum, Idolator, Spin and Celebuzz—will add 13 hires and promotions, including Pete Riherd from Selectable Media and Todd Wienke from Hot Chalk. Riherd will take over as vp and Western sales director, while Wienke becomes vp and Midwest sales director.

"I felt that with the new company we wanted to make sure we are going out with a lot of fresh blood," said SpinMedia group evp Tom Morrissy.

SpinMedia, formerly known as Buzz Media, has had shaky footing in recent history.
