Tom Hilditch
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Tom Hilditch is the Editor of a free listings magazine in Hong Kong and is simply not noteworthy enough to have his own Wikipedia entry. He should know better than to spend his time creating one, although his attempts at embellishing his very unimpressive CV provided this reader with a few cheap laughs.
Tom Hilditch is an award-winning British journalist based in Hong Kong, China. He is currently Group Editorial Director of Asia City Publishing (HK) which produces HK Magazine, Where Hong Kong, Where Macau, G Magazine and The List magazine, as well as several books and guides.
After the outbreak of SARS in 2003, he launched the I Love HK campaign through a daily column at the South China Morning Post. The campaign saw thousands of lapel pins and posters handed out across the city and was eventually taken on and expanded by the Hong Kong Tourism Board. Hilditch's writing has been widely syndicated in magazines including British Esquire, The Sunday Times, GQ, Maxim, Marie Claire, The Independent on Sunday, Stern, US Playboy and Asiaweek.
In 1997, as UK editor-in-chief of Penthouse Magazine he oversaw an attempt to rebrand the magazine as PH.UK and reposition it as a middle-shelf "adult magazine for grown-ups". The experiment, while attracting a great deal of media interest, failed to raise sales significantly.
