About Time Out Group plc Time Out Group is a leading global media and hospitality business that inspires and enables people to experience the best of the city. It all began in London in 1968 when Time Out helped people discover the exciting new urban cultures that had started up all over the capital. Since then, this iconic brand has consistently maintained its status as the go-to source of inspiration for both locals and visitors alike. Today, it is the only global brand – with a local voice – dedicated to city life. Through Time Out Media and Time Out Market – which are highly synergistic – the Company helps its large audience go out in the world's greatest cities with its curated content and experiences, and connects global brands as well as local talents with this valuable audience. Time Out Media’s multiple digital and physical channels span websites, mobile, social media, videos, newsletters and Live Events. Across these channels, Time Out distributes its high-quality content – created and curated by a global team of local experts – around the best food, drinks, culture, art, music, theatre, travel and entertainment in over 350 cities and over 50 countries.
