Men’s lifestyle publication Man of Many has appointed Jackson Langford as digital editor following a period of “record audience growth”.
The appointment deepens Man of Manyʼs editorial bench and supports the next phase of the brandʼs multi-platform strategy.
Langford has been tasked with strengthening day-to-day editorial operation as editor-in-chief Rob Stott expands his remit across video and podcasting, overseeing all editorial content and social.
He brings over a decade of experience across music, culture, and entertainment journalism, with bylines and editorial roles at NME, BuzzFeed, LADBible, Thrillist, Bustle, MTV Australia, Music Feeds, Junkee, among others. He also hosted MUSICBible Australia, a podcast spotlighting Australian musicians.
In his new role, Langford will lead Man of Manyʼs daily editorial output, commission and edit content across the brandʼs core lifestyle, culture, and technology verticals, mentor the writing team, and uphold the editorial quality and standards the publication is known for.
“Man of Many has built something rare: a genuinely premium, independent brand with a loyal audience and a clear point of view,ˮ Langford said.
“Iʼm excited to join at such a pivotal moment, and to help grow both the editorial team and the quality of everything we publish across every platform.ˮ
Man of Many said Langford joins at a high point for the business. Man of Many was ranked the number one menʼs lifestyle title in Australia on Ipsos iris for February, March, April and May 2026.
“Despite the impacts from AI Overviews, the publicationʼs monthly organic search clicks rose 40 per cent year-on-year, and referral traffic from AI platforms climbed 106 per cent.
“Building a deep, talented editorial team is how we scale quality, not just output,ˮ Stott said. “Jackson is a sharp, culturally connected editor who understands exactly what our audience cares about. Having him drive our daily editorial frees me to focus on where the brand is heading next, across video, podcasting, and social, while making sure everything we publish holds the standard our readers expect.ˮ
Man of Many co-founders Scott Purcell and Frank Arthur welcomed the appointment. “Jacksonʼs appointment is a clear signal of our commitment to investing in editorial as we grow,ˮ Purcell said.
“As we expand across video, audio, and social, genuine editorial depth is what lets us move faster without compromising on quality. Jackson brings real cultural fluency and editorial rigour, and weʼre thrilled to have him helping lead the next chapter.ˮ
