"I’m most looking forward to working with an incredible team to deliver compelling, thought-provoking content that is both informative and insightful to our wide array of readers.”

"As someone with a passion for meaningful storytelling about culture, consumer trends, business and news through print, digital, social media and podcasting, Rahat joins us at an exciting juncture," Sawatzky said. "We're bringing our Campaign audience new products and formats that are data-led, more user-friendly and can be easily consumed through relevant channels."
