Future

Future is a global specialist media platform that operates a portfolio of more than 200 brands, reaching one in three adults worldwide. The company is publicly listed on the London Stock Exchange and is headquartered in Bath, United Kingdom, with a presence in the United States and Australia. Its titles cover technology, gaming, entertainment, fashion, lifestyle, sports and finance.

The business was founded in 1985 with a single magazine and is now the largest magazine publisher in the UK. Content is distributed across websites, magazines, events, newsletters and social channels, combining an editorial operation with in-house technology. Three platforms underpin this: Vanilla, a content management system for delivering editorial output across the brand portfolio; Hawk, the e-commerce technology behind commerce and purchase-decision content; and Aperture, an audience data platform used to match content with audiences at scale.

Technical work spans content management systems, e-commerce technology, audience data platforms, digital publishing, multiplatform content distribution, and audience analytics and targeting. The company describes its culture as one of editorial experts producing authentic content, supported by self-built technology, and draws on its heritage since 1985 and its UK market leadership.
