Imani Walker Joins as Social Editor, Christopher Turner Continues as Editorial Director
TORONTO, ON / ACCESS Newswire / March 31, 2026 / Complex Canada is entering a new chapter with the return of dedicated Canadian editorial content.
Ideon Media and Complex today announced the reintroduction of original Canadian storytelling across Complex Canada, spotlighting the artists, athletes, designers, and creators shaping culture nationwide.
Ideon Media originally launched Complex Canada's editorial presence in 2014, with Christopher Turner leading as Editor-in-Chief. That early foundation helped define the brand's voice in Canada. Now, Complex Canada returns with a renewed focus on homegrown culture - built for a modern, social-first era.
At the centre of this next phase is Imani Walker, who joins as Social Editor. Walker brings a strong journalism background, on-air experience, and a deep understanding of where culture lives across platforms. She will lead the Canadian social strategy, shaping a distinct local voice while amplifying emerging and established talent across the country, and building out a dedicated social team to scale Complex Canada's presence across platforms.
Christopher Turner continues as Editorial Director, overseeing long-form features and guiding overall editorial direction on Complex.com/ca. Having helped establish Complex Canada's original editorial identity, Turner now leads its next evolution, ensuring Canadian storytelling is both culturally relevant and globally connected.
"Complex has always had a meaningful connection to Canadian culture," says Kevin Bartus, President and CEO, Ideon Media. "We're proud to see the return of dedicated Canadian editorial and to build on the foundation that began in 2014."
Complex Canada's renewed focus will include:
Original features highlighting Canadian talent across music, sports, fashion, and entertainment
A slate of new social-first, platform-native shows developed exclusively for YouTube, TikTok, and Instagram, featuring Canadian hosts and creators
Social-first video and creator-driven storytelling
Coverage of major cultural moments and live experiences
Collaborations that connect Canadian audiences to the broader global Complex ecosystem
