Multimedia Platforms Worldwide, the world’s only publicly-traded LGBTQ media company, has announced the promotion of Peter Jackson to Chief Operating Officer of all its print and digital operations effective immediately.

Mr. Jackson, who joined the company in May, will retain his responsibilities as President and Group Executive Publisher of the company’s five newspaper and magazine brands, but will now additionally manage operations for its digital brands to include WiRLD.com, a global LGBTQ digital media hub that will be launched in January 2016.

The company also announced the establishment of a new headquarters in Los Angeles, where Mr. Jackson will be based effective February 1, 2016.

“Our impressive growth in revenues, readership and online audiences is the result of great team work under Peter’s leadership,” said Bobby Blair, Founder and Chief Executive Officer. “Expanding his role to include management of the operations of our digital division makes perfect sense.”

Mr. Jackson’s career in media spans three decades and is accompanied by a proven track record in revenue growth, operations and business turnarounds.

Multimedia Platforms Worldwide is a publicly-traded multi-platform publishing, media and technology company that creates, aggregates and distributes compelling, advertising-friendly content to the LGBTQ community. The company publishes five iconic brands in New York, Florida, California and almost 40 North American cities. The publications include the Florida Agenda, Frontiers magazine, Next, Guy and FunMaps.
