Fairfax Magazines New Editor has Unlimited Potential
Caitlin Sykes will be a familiar name to readers already, so the new editor of Unlimited is in a great position to take
the magazine into the future.
New Zealand’s most forward thinking business magazine, Unlimited will continue to inform and inspire business innovators
and leaders in the capable hands of its new editor.
Sykes began working on the magazine in 2005 as a writer and sub-editor. In 2007 she was promoted to deputy editor and
now has accepted the enviable role of editor.
The position was hotly contested by a large number of talented applicants.
“We have seen some fabulous people during the interview process but are delighted Caitlin has accepted the editor’s
position. Her established relationship with the publication, creativity, outstanding communication, organisation and
intelligent writing skills made her a hard contender to beat,” says Fairfax Magazines general manager Lynley Belton.
An accomplished writer, Sykes has predominantly specialised in the business genré since returning to study and gaining
her post-graduate Diploma in Journalism from AUT in 2001. Her business acumen balanced with humour and creativity is
sure to influence the magazine in positive ways.
“I am a business feature writer who can spin a cracking yarn. I love to seek out and generate new ideas along with the
creative process of putting a magazine together,” says Sykes.
“We are excited to see Caitlin inject her personality into the content and style of Unlimited,” says Belton. “It’s a
great product already but we are always encouraging our people to think forward and evolve our titles.”
Look out for Sykes’ first complete issue as editor on-sale 6 August.
