Babcox Media has announced that Susan Givens has been promoted to group publisher of Motorcycle & Powersports News, effective immediately. She also will continue her role as Publisher of AutoSuccess.

Beginning her career with AutoSuccess in 2001, Givens held various sales and operational roles before being named Publisher in 2008. Givens and AutoSuccess joined the Babcox Media team in 2017 and she has continued to develop the brand within the dealership market.

In her newly expanded role, Givens will oversee the integrated sales and marketing operations across all platforms for these two brands, among their print, video, online and social media audiences. She will work closely with Group Publisher Sean Donohue to develop new growth opportunities for the brands’ readers and advertisers.

“Susan’s longstanding industry relationships, creativity and charisma make her a terrific sales and marketing leader for our team,” said Bill Babcox, president and CEO of Babcox Media. “She is the perfect partner to join Sean in further expanding these brands to provide cross-platform opportunities for both our readers and advertisers.”
