January 2012 was a rather special month at the Post Modern Group featuring not just one but three notable anniversaries. Co-founders Amir Samnani and Rick Warren both turned 50 and The PME Interview notched up its 50th edition. It seemed therefore a fitting occasion to invite Managing Partner/CFO Rick Warren into the CNBC Studios in London to debate the future for traditional labs as airlines move more and more to a pure digital product.

In a remarkably candid interview, Rick discusses the threat from major hardware manufacturers who want to bypass traditional labs by setting up an iTunes style service for airlines and reveals the true cost to PME of launching a content service provider.

To celebrate the 50th PME Interview, PME is giving away an iPad 2 so keep watching to find out how you can win this gorgeous piece of kit.

Jeffrey O’Rourke – CEO, Ink

In a relatively short space of time Ink has rocketed from nowhere to become one of the world’s leading publishers of inflight magazines. Indeed their web site boasts that their in-flight magazines have reached around 800 million travelers since January 2008 as well as a whole range of media that helps companies connect with travelers – including magazines, boarding pass advertising, inflight retail publications and the Airline Retail Conference.

With offices in London, Singapore, Atlanta and New York, CEO Jeffrey O’Rourke has plenty of time to peruse in-flight magazines as he jets around the world seeking to expand his publishing empire still further. He did however take time out to talk to Steve Harvey for this exclusive PME Interview.
