The USA Today Sports Media Group has laid off a handful of employees in its action sports subsidiary, BNQT, according to one of my readers. Some senior business development and management staff also have been let go, this reader says.

Hunke's Folly.
ReplyDeleteJust got the good news. No layoffs, but all BNQT employees can no longer put surfing costs on their corporate expense reports. Same for skate boarding, roller blading and extreme fishing.
ReplyDeleteI applauded Hunke for trying to engage a younger audience. An audience advertisers pay handsomely to reach.
ReplyDeleteHow it was executed could be up for scrutiny, but I think it was wise to enter the action sports world. It's not any more fluffy than half the content broadcast and community publishing produce.
Anyway, I know a round of layoffs hit BNQT hard last month. Not sure about a new round.
