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.

Career highlights

Editing The Sunday Times Style, Wallpaper* and Esquire. And a thank you for all my support in the last ever Take That official magazine.

Most cringeworthy moment of your career

When at Wallpaper*, I gave a speech to three people, none of whom spoke English, at Bayern Munich’s enormous football stadium.

Best thing about your job

Working with a genius team of writers, designers and editors.

Worst thing about your job

The ugly recycling bins that have appeared in our offices.

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.
