About Time Out Group plc

Time Out Group is a leading global media and hospitality business that inspires and enables people to experience the best of the city.

It all began in London in 1968 when Time Out helped people discover the exciting new urban cultures that had started up all over the capital. Since then, this iconic brand has consistently maintained its status as the go-to source of inspiration for both locals and visitors alike. Today, it is the only global brand – with a local voice – dedicated to city life.

Through Time Out Media and Time Out Market – which are highly synergistic – the Company helps its large audience go out in the world's greatest cities with its curated content and experiences, and connects global brands as well as local talents with this valuable audience.

Time Out Media’s multiple digital and physical channels span websites, mobile, social media, videos, newsletters and Live Events. Across these channels, Time Out distributes its high-quality content – created and curated by a global team of local experts – around the best food, drinks, culture, art, music, theatre, travel and entertainment in over 350 cities and over 50 countries. The Company is monetising this global reach and its strong traffic from a desirable audience by offering bespoke 360-degree multichannel advertising solutions to international, national and local brands and businesses. Since its launch in 1968, Time Out has become a global brand that advertisers and consumers love and trust.

Time Out Market is the world's first editorially curated food and cultural market, leveraging the Time Out brand to bring the best of the city together under one roof: its best chefs, drinks and cultural experiences – based on the editorial curation Time Out has always been known for. The first Time Out Market opened in 2014 in Lisbon, quickly becoming one of the city's most popular destinations. The success of Lisbon brought further expansion and there are currently 13 open Markets: in addition to Lisbon, there are sites in New York (in Brooklyn's Dumbo neighbourhood and in Manhattan's Union Square), Boston, Montreal, Dubai, Cape Town, Porto, Barcelona, Bahrain, Osaka, Budapest and Vancouver. More Time Out Market locations are in the pipeline as the global expansion continues.

Time Out is a dynamic, pioneering brand and so is our team. We want to work with the best and brightest talent because we work for the world’s greatest cities, the people enjoying them and the businesses in them. As a truly global team we get to collaborate with colleagues from New York to Paris, Cape Town and Sydney and beyond. It’s our expertise, authenticity and collaboration that make us successful and a unique team.
