A List: 2009
Here at LIZH we’re big believers in working closely with talent throughout their careers. We work with many of today’s A-Listers, as well as the A-Listers of tomorrow.
We’ve built our reputation for supplying the best industry talent over 25yrs by spotting the up and coming Creatives, Planners and Account Handlers then working carefully with them to plan their careers, while championing them though their upward progress . After all, we want them to be in the A-List for years to come. So being the proud partner to the A-list is a natural fit for LIZH.

Advice for a wannabe A Lister
You’ve got your priorities wrong.
If you could be anyone else in this business, who would it be?
The readers. So I could sell even more copies.
What would you do on a sabbatical?
Worry about work.
Your USP?
I’m me.
What would you change about yourself?
My ability to hear every conversation that takes place in the office, however quietly it’s spoken.
Favourite media
The Observer, The Sunday Times, YouTube, BBC3, bbc.co.uk, Fantastic Man magazine, mediaguardian.co.uk.
Favourite shop
Melrose and Morgan, a deli in Primrose Hill, and the London Review Bookshop in Bloomsbury.
What’s the biggest lie you’ve told?
I’m looking for a long-term relationship.
How many toilets do you own?
Two.
What can’t you live without (apart from family)?
Credit cards, iPhone, friends, vodka and something to read.
Lowdown
Langmead will be buoyed by his title’s performance in a tough men’s magazine market this year. Strangely for an editor of a glossy packed with glamorous photos, Langmead is quite camera shy and feels he always ends up looking like “Michael Winner’s illegitimate child” in photographs.
