Growth, as the source summarises it
The Economist Group may be growing as evidenced by their active recruitment efforts, which include hiring for their audience team in New York and their social-media team in London. These hiring initiatives suggest an expansion of their workforce and potentially their operations in these major cities. Additionally, the appointment of a new president, previously an executive at Disney+, indicates a strategic move that could bring fresh leadership and potentially new growth avenues for the company.
