Ng left the company in late July to launch a parenting website similar to Baby Kingdom. A new group sales director will join Hachette Filipacchi in mid-August, but the company could not provide details about Ng's replacement.
Hachette Filipacchi publishes titles including ELLE, Paris Match, Car and Driver and Premiere. In Hong Kong, Elle has expanded recently, with the relaunch of Elle.com.hk in February themed "your everyday insight to Style", which updated daily and exclusive stories and videos as well as new channels on Elle celebrity and Elle TV.
The number of unique visitors to the website tripled to nearly 161,800 and page views doubled to more than 1.4 million in three months.
