Show Media was founded in 2003 by Peter Howarth, formerly Editor-in-Chief of Arena and Esquire magazines; Ian Pendleton (Royal College of Art and Esquire); and Joanne Glasbey (The Economist and Esquire). All three are directors of the company and met while Peter was Editor-in-Chief of Esquire, Ian was Art Director and Joanne, Deputy Editor. They set up Show Media as a publishing company with the idea of producing both private magazines for brands and consumer titles for other publishing firms. After a couple of years, clients were asking them to create brochures, ads, websites, logos and other marketing collateral.
