NME Networks to lead global commercial partnerships for The Face as it gears up for its return

LONDON, UNITED KINGDOM, 3 NOVEMBER 2026 — The Face, the global style and culture brand rooted in music, has appointed NME Networks to lead its global commercial partnerships as it gears up for its return in 2027.

NME Networks will oversee brand and media partnerships for The Face worldwide, spanning its platforms and the brand’s wider creative output. It is now inviting brands and agencies to explore partnership opportunities ahead of The Face’s relaunch.

First launched in London in 1980, The Face has spent more than four decades capturing the people, ideas and movements that define each era across fashion, music, film and art. Its irreverent editorial and bold imagery established a visual language entirely its own.

“Our focus is on giving The Face the right people and partners from day one,” said Meng Ru Kuok, Director of The Face. “NME Networks brings deep experience in brand and media partnerships, and its expertise will be valuable as we prepare for The Face’s relaunch.”

NME Networks is home to NME, Guitar.com and MusicTech, some of the best-known names in music media. It brings established relationships across music and entertainment, and a commercial team experienced in building partnerships that feel native to the brands they sit in.

“The Face’s return marks the beginning of an exciting new chapter,” said Holly Bishop, Chief Operating & Commercial Officer of NME Networks. “It’s an opportunity for brands to get involved from the outset, and we look forward to exploring fresh creative ideas and collaborations that stay true to The Face and what it stands for.”
