Jamie Labate is Digital Director for Quartz EMEA, the digitally native news outlet, born in 2012, for business people in the new global economy. It publishes bracingly creative and intelligent journalism with a broad worldview, built primarily for the devices closest at hand: tablets and mobile phones.

Past experiences saw him form part of the initial team that launched the ad sales effort of The Week magazine. In 2004, as Advertisement Director, he headed up the display effort at New Scientist across print and online platforms both in the UK and the US. He returned to Dennis Publishing as Online Trading Director in 2008 and spent 3 years working across the various 20 websites and growing digital magazine portfolio. The following 2 years resulted in his promotion to Deputy Managing Director of Advertising – having added managing the creative production team and licensing and syndication revenue efforts to his existing cross-platform remit.

Jamie spends his spare time with his family and has dreams of opening his own BBQ restaurant one day...
