Lagardère

Lagardère creates value by owning consumer-facing media, content and retail assets, then monetising them through multiple revenue streams. It sells books and related rights through its publishing infrastructure, captures retail margin and concession income in airports and stations, sells advertising inventory across radio, print, digital and audio properties, and earns ticketing, sponsorship and partnership revenue from live entertainment activities.

Lagardère is a French diversified media and consumer group spanning book publishing, travel retail, radio, news media, advertising sales and live entertainment. Its publishing division operates mainly under the Hachette imprint and produces trade, educational and audio titles at global scale, while its travel retail arm runs thousands of retail and dining outlets in transport hubs. The group also owns media brands and radio stations, which it monetises through audience reach and internal advertising sales operations.
