Acp Magazines, a brand that has existed in Australia since the 1950s, is to be renamed Bauer Media.
The name change follows the acquisition of the publisher by Germany’s Bauer in early September.
Acp was known as Australian Consolidated Press until rebranding to Acp Magazines in 2000.
“I don’t think it’s sad to see the Acp brand disappear,” said Deborah Thomas, the company’s director of media, public affairs and brand development. “Most people know us by our consumer brands such as Women’s Weekly, Cleo or Cosmo, not our trade brand. And the Bauer deal is such a positive move for us. The mood in the company very buoyant.”
Matthew Stanton, CEO of Acp Magazines, said in a statement: “Acp is now 100% owned by Bauer Media and this includes all our businesses in Australia – Acp Magazines, Acp Custom Media and Acp Books, and the Trader Group – Acp Media New Zealand,...

The most Australian of media companies will soon be in German ownership.
Acp Magazines is to be sold to European publisher Bauer to reduce the debts of parent company Nine Entertainment Co.
Although there was no announcement on price, the figure has been reported to be around $500m.
Nine Entertainment Co’s cross platform operation Powered By Nine will continue to sell advertising on Acp titles, the company said.
Acp titles include Australian Women’s Weekly, Harper’s Bazaar, Grazia, Cleo, Woman’s Day and Zoo Weekly.
Steve Allen, chief executive of media consultants Fusion Strategy told Mumbrella: “Five hundred million in this market is fully priced. It’s surprising that a Hamburg based publisher would want to come all this way, but they have bought the number one magazine group. The Nine management group is thin on magazine experience. Acp had its golden days some years ago with print experienced executives.
