Hearst UK has announced the launch of The Nest, its in-house ideas and talent incubator programme, in China. The Nest launched in 2018 to offer ambitious internal candidates the opportunity to step out of their everyday roles, progress their careers and learn new skills. The Nest also nurtures diverse external talent looking to break into the media industry. 

Hearst China will launch its own iteration as a four-week programme from September, with eight people being selected from over 500 applications. The Nest China will coordinate closely with Julian Linley, Hearst UK's Business Development Directory, who devised and started The Nest in the UK.
