Brant Janeway Jumps from The Daily Beast to Macmillan Audio

Macmillan Audio has hired Brant Janeway as marketing director, the publisher announced today.

Most recently Janeway worked at The Daily Beast. Nevertheless, he spent much of his career in the publishing industry, working in different positions at Random House, Plume Books, and Hudson Street Press. He also served as director of advertising at Bantam Dell, handling both ad campaigns and podcasts.

In a statement, Macmillan Audio publisher Mary Beth Roche had some fond words for her old colleague and new hire: “I think Brant will be a wonderful addition to our audio team … I worked with Brant when he started in publicity at Random House and I am thrilled to be working with him again today.”
