Condé Nast has announced Murray Clark as the head of editorial content for British GQ. Based in London and reporting into Global Editorial Director Adam Baidawi, Clark will drive the editorial vision, creative direction and event execution for British GQ. He will begin the role on 1st June, says the publisher.
Clark joined the title in 2022 and has served as senior style editor. He played a significant role in reshaping British GQ’s style and grooming coverage, leading on partnerships with the British Fashion Council and Paul Smith Foundation, launching the biannual Grooming Pages supplement and overseeing the GQ Grooming Box, the publisher continued. As one of British GQ’s foremost fashion journalists, he profiled leading designers including Haider Ackermann, Daniel Lee, Brunello Cucinelli, and Grace Wales Bonner.
Adam Baidawi, global editorial director, GQ said: “Murray has exactly the instincts British GQ needs for its next era: crisp editorial judgement, a very modern understanding of digital culture, and a clear sense of how to make our brand feel alive across every platform. He knows how to spot where culture is moving, and how to turn that into work that feels intelligent, useful and unmistakably GQ. I’m thrilled to see him take the reins.”
Murray Clark, head of editorial content, British GQ added: “After admiring GQ from afar for my entire childhood and formative years, it is an unreal honour to be leading our team into the next age. When there’s so much change afoot, I look forward to taking GQ beyond our strongholds, to tell the many stories of menswear and masculinity from all parts of this incredible country.”
