MAGAZINE WORLD

he most popular pages on FIPPs website, fipp.com, are our news on magazine launches from around the world. Towards the end of 2010 we started listing launches of iPad editions of magazines, and they now regularly account for a half of all the launch activity that we monitor. Its remarkable to think that the iPad was launched less than a year ago, and even more remarkable the impact it has had on the publishing industry. That there is excitement in the halls of magazine media groups around the world is an understatement. The iPad has proven to be one of those very rare beasts a product that has engaged the imagination of editors and the hopes of accountants. At the Digital Innovators' Summit in Berlin on 14-15 March, FIPP will be launching the second Innovations in Magazines World Report. Our first edition was a huge success and Im sure the new edition will prove just as stimulating and thought provoking.* E-publishing and iPad initiatives feature strongly of course, and all the early excitement was about what the technology could do, and what it meant for content deployment and the user experience. Whilst this focus of attention will never go away, there is no doubt that just at the moment the debate has shifted firmly on to business model considerations. Magazine media companies are proving to be very different customers to those that Apple has been used to dealing with. We are an industry with a significant voice, and can mobilise opinion very effectively. On a positive note, as the dialogue with Apple has progressed, they have changed their previously very rigid position on their standard terms and conditions. Whilst some ways short of what magazine publishers want, the changes are helpful and certainly a number of publishers are quite

happy to continue developing their business and trying out more experiments with Apple. But issues such as the quantum of revenue splits; the access to customer data; the ability to set pricing; and the arbitrary application of rules on content; are extremely significant and are far from being resolved. In the traditional, analogue world there are a host of long-standing precedents, joint industry codes of conduct, accepted business practices and the like, that have addressed all of these issues. Given that the iPad is less than a year old, its understandable that definitive positions acceptable to all have not yet been reached. So a dialogue with Apple must continue, though magazine media organisations need to be clear on their objectives in such a dialogue for example, FIPP

itself has yet to take a co-ordinated view on many of these issues as we simply have not yet had the time to debate the matters. Of course, with the emergence of more tablet devices, initiatives such as Googles One Pass, and perhaps with HTML5 coming along to potentially change the game completely, this is an incredibly fluid landscape. By the time we come to FIPPs World Magazine Congress which will be held this year in New Delhi in 10-12 October, (see page 29) its pretty certain that our world will be looking very different and all the more reason for magazine media people to come along, share views and learn.

FIPP magazine course takes off


The FIPP Magazine Brand Management Certificate (MBMC) for 2011 begun at the end of January. The sell-out course attracted 20 new publishing executives keen to learn, embrace and implement all the necessary skills for senior management in todays publishing environment. The programme runs over a nine-month period, broken into four residential weeks in a top London hotel. This first week covered: The Role of the Publisher; Global Magazine Trends and Future; Integrated Circulation Strategies; Understanding Multi-platform Distribution Models; Managing the Ad Sales Team and Selecting and Retaining Staff. Each week is intense, as this international delegation is taught in English, covering disciplines that may not be familiar to them in their everyday work. They will return

again in April, June and September for the remaining modules that lead towards gaining a certificate. Details for MBMC 2012 are available on fipp. com/MBMC. For information or to register providing content to business decision makers while they are working. Derek Reisfield, chairman of BBN said: BBN has received many requests from publishers and advertisers alike for uniform and comprehensive demographic user data. Third party audits are the most reliable method for acquiring this data and BPA has a long reputation as the authority for gathering B2B audience profiles. iNterNAtioNAl MAgAziNes has announced that it will engage in tablet-only licensing for its international brands. The publisher has done a great job so far of bringing many of its magazine brands to the iPad including Popular Science, Science Illustrated and Mama using its in-house software, Mag+. It aims to licence these brands to other publishers across the globe, who will be able to do so without actually printing a single copy of the magazine.

PocketMags.com allows publishers to offer digital versions of their titles from their own websites, as well as picking up sales from passing traffic from the virtual newsstand. Ian Remmer, business development director commented: Weve had a very successful apps division for some time now with more than 150 apps live, but we wanted to strengthen our business by adding versions that can be read on a PC or Mac. Whilst this technology is not new, it does give just about everyone access to our clients publications and is, of course, a new revenue stream for them. Just like our apps business model, we do not charge clients for this service and merely share the revenue from cover prices. All of MagazineCloner.coms app clients have agreed to promote PocketMags.com, so we expect traffic and sales to build quickly.

media workers were killed because of their professional activities in 2010, with Mexico and Pakistan emerging as the most deadly countries for journalists, according to the World Association of Newspapers and News Publishers (WAN-IFRA). Ten journalists were killed in both Mexico and Pakistan in 2010, as narcotics trafficking in the former and insurgency in the latter have put journalists in the line of fire. That compares with nine killed in Mexico and eight in Pakistan in 2009.

FIPP INNOVATIONS REPORT LAUNCHED


The second Innovations in Magazines 2011 World Report has been launched. This years edition identifies, monitors and dissects brilliant innovations in magazines, which deliver new readers, revenues and relevance to magazines around the world, showcasing a new age of exciting innovation. Chris Llewellyn, FIPP president and CEO said: Our first edition was a huge success and Im sure the new edition will prove just as stimulating and thought provoking. E-publishing and iPad initiatives feature strongly of course, and all the early excitement was about what the technology could do, and what it meant for content deployment and the user experience. Whilst this focus of attention will never go away, there is no doubt that just at the moment the debate has shifted firmly on to business model considerations. Juan Senor and John Wilpers, editors of the report, said: Readers expect much more from publishers on tablets than two-dimensional content. They expect digital narratives, along with content they can read, watch, touch and share. It means we need to learn to design for eyes and for fingers simultaneously. It means we must change workflows in our newsrooms. It means we must rethink subscription and advertising models. It means we must innovate as never before. Innovations in Magazines 2011 was made possible by the generous sponsorship of printers Polestar Wheatons and paper supplier Sappi. PrintCity is responsible for the innovative cover incorporating cold foiling design enhancement to make it even more eye-catching. See page 11 for more information about the report, or visit fipp.com/publications to order your copy. newsstand for the Australian market.

ACP will look to release apps for other operating platforms, such as Googles Android, in the future. has launched a London newsagent, which will sell more than 110 of its magazines from around the world. The Cond Nast Worldwide Newsagent will be based in Piccadilly, and will sell all the publishers magazines from 25 countries, including local versions of Cond Nast brands Vogue, GQ and Vanity Fair. The magazines are grouped by brand and marked by international flags representing each country, including 16 editions of Glamour ranging from the Bulgarian to Mexican editions. The newsagent also showcases Vogue books. Apps and iPad products will not go on sale in-store, but will instead be available to view on one of four iPad demos, including the Vogue and Wired apps, which launched in November. will give us the resources and flexibility to return Playboy to its unique position and to further expand our business around the world, Hefner said in a statement on the deal, which was unanimously approved by Playboy Enterprises board. Scott Flanders will remain CEO, and the companys outsourcing deal with American Media Inc. to handle the business-side operations of Playboy magazine will remain in force, according to AMI. ACCESS INTELLIGENCE , has acquired Red 7 Media, owner of Folio Magazine and several other media brands. The ability to round-out our leading position in the consumer magazine market with Red 7s events, online communities and a leading magazine while expanding into the dynamic events business is a truly exciting prospect for Access Intelligence, our employees and customers, said Don Pazour, president and CEO of Access Intelligence.

ADVERTISING BUREAU (IAB) has announced that its board of directors has elected a new chairman, Bob Carrigan, chief executive officer of IDG Communications. Carrigan has served on the board of directors for five years and has been a member of the executive committee since last year. Im energised to be taking on this position at such a crucial, transformational time for media, just when more marketers are shifting their attention to building brands online and engaging with their consumers in creative, new ways, said Carrigan. In the coming months, the IAB will be focused on leading the industry on some challenging and exciting issuesfrom mobile to local to privacy. I look forward to playing an integral role building and expanding on IABs legacy of outstanding accomplishment and guiding the interactive landscape of tomorrow.

new publication innovations in magazines world report

The wow! factor


hese days, the simplest way to connect the print world to the digital world is by pulling out your smartphone. Augmented reality and 2D tags viewed through a mobile device allow readers to look at additional content from just about anywhere. This technology has the potential to revitalise the print industry by adding a digital component that is easily accessible and user friendly. Making augmented reality accessible and easy to use are primary goals for Metaio, a leader in augmented reality development. In November 2009, Metaio launched Junaio, the first and only mobile augmented reality application with image-recognition capabilities. Metaios past augmented reality projects, like the 3D cover they designed for Popular Science in 2009, required the reader to hold the magazine up to a webcam in order to activate the augmented reality experience. The one thing that hindered more use was that extra step, said Lisa Murphy, product marketing manager of Metaio, in regard to the issue. Using smartphones eliminates that step. Metaios recent projects use the Junaio application to create a more appealing experience. In October 2010, Metaio helped produce a special issue for Germanys

The second Innovations in Magazines 2011 World Report identifies, monitors and dissects brilliant innovations in magazines which deliver new readers, revenues and relevance to magazines around the world. Here is an excerpt from one of the chapters, which looks at how magazines are experimenting with augmented reality and 2D tags.

innovations in magazines 2011


The second Innovations in Magazines 2011 World Report identifies, showcases fantastic innovations in magazines which deliver new readers, revenues and relevance to magazines around the world. The survey highlights a series of magazine case studies and interviews showing initiatives that have a proven track record of being successful, focusing on identifying innovation in content-driven solutions. The study is co-published by Innovation International Media Consulting Group and FIPP. Case studies include the tablet revolution, exploiting social media, mobile, video, reality TV and gaming and digital newsstands and paywall experiments Innovations in Magazines 2011 was made possible by the generous sponsorship of printers Polestar Wheatons and paper supplier Sappi. PrintCity was responsible for the cover incorporating cold foiling design. Visit fipp.com/publications to order your copy.

How to best use 2D tags


Use broadly: Include tags as part of editorial
pieces, not just within advertisements

Mobile optimisation: Make sure your content is


easy to view on a mobile device

Be creative: Have your tag link to video, link to


contact info, or even dial a number

Create a custom tag: Feature your logo or


whatever other image you like. It will make the tag stand out from others and allow you to feature your own brand.

success witH 2D tags


In 2010, Cond Nasts Allure updated its annual free stuff issue by adding Microsoft Tags. Every year, Allure gives away about 32,000 beauty products. In previous years, readers needed to remember which products they wanted to enter for, then go online to enter each individual giveaway. With the implementation of 2D tags last year, readers were able to enter simply by scanning a tag. Allure saw an increase in participation of 38 per cent from the year before. A total of 444,572 tags were scanned, beating the record number of tags scanned from JagTags 100,000 scans in the 2010 Sports Illustrated swimsuit issue. The campaign was a great success for Allure and Microsoft Tag, and a great example of an innovative and organic way to implement 2D tags into the print product.

Sddeutsche Zeitung magazine that was filled with augmented reality from cover to cover. To enjoy the experience, all the reader had to do was enter the Junaio application, click on the Sddeutsche Zeitung channel, and scan their phone over the images. Viewing digital content through augmented reality is exciting, sophisticated, and fun, but in terms of simple, nothing beats the 2D tag. And no 2D tag company stands out more than Microsoft Tag. A study done recently by Nellymoser, analysed the mobile action codes and content of the top 100 US magazines by circulation from September to November 2010. The results showed Microsoft Tag as generating 82 per cent of all action codes used in those 100 publications. The folks at Microsoft Tag arent worried

about catering to those who dont have smartphones because the people who would be interested in this sort of technology probably already have one. Ill use my Grandma example, says Bill McQuain, director of Tag Product Management. Even if I gave my grandmother a smartphone, she would still only use it as she would any other phone. There are a number of advantages to using Microsoft Tag over several other 2D or QR (quick response) tag companies such as Kaywa, i-nigma, Goqr.me, and QR Stuff: The Microsoft Tag can be printed in much smaller size than a QR code; It can be colour, black and white, or custom-made so it can fit aesthetically with an image or within the design of a page or site; It can be scanned even without much light; It can be managed within Microsofts tag management system, where the owner can view data analysis and change the content to which the tag links. Microsoft Tag is making 2D tag technology more comprehensible and stylish, so its no surprise that many publications have already jumped on board. Advancements in 2D tags and augmented reality technology are making it increasingly convenient and simple to obtain digital content from magazines, breathing extra life into a media industry that is in danger of falling behind the times.

Cette anne-l, le rock se voit forc de baisser dun ton. Si, avec son premier album et ses solos de guitares, Van Halen relance le genre version FM made in USA, la mort dElvis Presley, en aot 1977, tourne la page du vrai rock et le King cde la place aux Dancing Queens !

Mais la plupart du temps, lintrieur, la fte navait pas de limites.

ROGER BLACK

Roger Black has designed many iconic covers, including Foreign Affairs, Smart, Men's Fitness and Rolling Stone

the reader response to the scratch card ink on another cover that said: Do not remove. We were inundated with readers who wanted to know why not! Another example of an innovative cover was remarked upon on BBC Radio 4 recently. During a piece on social media, one presenter said that he had been astonished to receive an electronic cover from Wired with some of his own personal details on it (Wireds point being the ease in which this information is traced online). Wired, of course, is just catering for its audience. Something that Black and Eymre agree is essential.

Says Black: Magazine design should be for the reader. A good start is to make it easier to read! Im amused that we now have a category of digital professional called user experience designer. What kind of design is not for the user? If youre designing for yourself, you should call yourself an artist. Says Eymre: When you do a new layout you are addressing different audiences. You are addressing the reader first of all and then the market the advertising market, which must recognise your code. In our case, we must be avant-garde, but not too avant-garde. Its all about the balance. You have to look at magazines that come out

just twice a year as they are trend setters in a way. They can do what they want. But, generally, the trend setter that comes out 10 times a year has to have a bit more consistency. They have to be creative and consistent which is a hard balance to get. Although Vogue, and the more edgy French Vogue in particular, has been famous for its design, Eymre doesnt see it as an influence. Its a big engine. Jalouse is more of a laboratory. We try to promote young photographers, and creative people. We are less obsessed with models than Vogue or LOfficiel. We are more into characters and people.

DESIGN FOR TABLETS


Delivering the magazine experience on the tablet concerns Diprose, Eymre and other art directors and publishers. Diprose says that, although he is loath to predict any particular trend in magazine design, as it is microchanging constantly, he notes that designers are tweaking magazine furniture that will work for print and the tablet. And although Diprose,loves print, he recognises the beauty and versatility of the tablet. You have a backlit screen and can feature slideshows of great photography, rather than using one or two shots. Equally, if you are featuring a lm, you can include a clip. That aside, the tablet has to be readable too. And, as if to illustrate the differences between the two, Diprose adds: A little while after we worked on the iPad edition of Wired, I was sitting at my desk and couldnt help noticing the dog-eared copy of the print version against this immaculately preserved iPad edition. Black clearly has reservations about the tablet. When asked if you can replicate the experience of print on the tablet he replied: Well, you can. But do you want to? Adobe and Woodwing, among others, have made tools that make it easy to go from magazine to iPad. However, the resources it takes to convert print to tablet are considerable. "Now there are a number of new tablets with different sized screens, running on different operating systems. So the iPad idea that publishers embraced in 2010 doesnt seem scalable in 2011. We need to think about these products as new ways to present the kinds of things we know how to produce writing, photography, graphics and video. And we need to nd new ways to create-once-publishmany-times. So this is not about converting magazines. Its about multi-platform publishing. Jalouse has taken a measured approach to the tablet. Although it has put its magazine on Zinio it was several months away from launching its own app as Magazine World went to press. Says Eymre: We think that the standard for tablets has not been properly established yet, so we are talking about the codes of reading before developing any crazy application. Thats not to say that Jalouse is behind the curve, digitally. It has a full team of 25 people in Paris, and around eight people worldwide, working on digital content.

ANDREW DISPROSE: WIRED

Wired recently introduced a 'scratch-off' cover, which art director Disprose was 'thrilled' with

The February issue is all about the year 1977. This is because the editor Jennifer Eymre, my sister, was born that year. This is something that we can allow at Jalouse. It just so happens, happily, that it was also a pretty amazing year and the designers had a wealth of material to work with. Standing back and letting the designers get on with the job is, clearly, something dear to Blacks and Diproses heart if not to all designers worth their salt. Says Black: The worst thing that happens to design in magazine offices is that everyone thinks theyre the designer. I learned a lesson when I was planning a little second home off in the desert Southwest. I hired an architect, told him what I wanted, gave him some reactions to the first sketches, and then let him build his own dream. He won all the national and state awards, got in all the magazines, and I have a place I love living in.

If a publisher treated their art directors this way, they could get much better results than the committee-designed magazines were seeing. To turn this business around, we need innovations and strong new connections to readers. Give the art directors some air. Push them to do better. Tell them your goals, but dont tell them how to achieve them.

Gimmicks

RELAUNCH TIPS
Go back to the basics, says Black. Work on the content: get material that is well-written and well-edited that people cant nd elsewhere. Then turn your designers back into art directors. Ask them to concentrate on the visual content of the magazine, instead of its decoration. The key is creativity and consistency, says Eymre. When we refresh the magazine (twice in the last two years) we ask the art director for two proposals and then we usually go with the one that ts our marketing purposes best. We think it is very important that the creative team gives the input. Diprose emphasises good craftsmanship the typography and structure, which forms the basis of good design. The magazine has to be a pleasure to read, not merely exciting. Once the structure is in place, you can add the furniture.

As far as gimmicks, like 3D and electronic bar codes or tags, are concerned, Black and, particularly Diprose, see a place for them, although neither believe they are of great consequence. These are just gadgets and fads, says Black, Ultimately magazines are about connecting readers to writers, photographers, and artists. New toys can be fun, and magazines should be fun, but eventually these add-ons get in the way. Generally, Diprose is opposed to using gimmicks willy nilly. But he is not averse to using something eye-catching on the cover, which he regards as encouraging a magpie effect. Our [relatively modest] print run gives us the luxury to do some clever things on the cover. Its nice to think that people will pick up the magazine, take it home and put it by their bed or on a coffee table for a month like a little piece of art. And making a work of art is that much easier when you can surround yourself with the best illustrators and photographers. Naturally, they too, like the aforementioned magpie, will be drawn to something illuminating that will showcase their work in the best way. Interestingly, one of Jalouses gimmicks has had a rather surprising twist. The second quarter, 2009 edition of Magazine World

featured Jalouses faux marriage between the UK music producer Mark Ronson and his French actress girlfriend Josphine de La Baume. Now, says Eymre, the couple are getting married in real life a clear case of art, imitating life, imitating art. But, according to Eymre, the marriage is unlikely to be as crazy as their staged one and if Jalouse covers it, it will be in a more classic style, in keeping with its new trend away from gritty reality. This move away from grunge has been noted elsewhere in the surprise success of TV period dramas like Downtown Abbey in the UK, for example. It would seem that in times of austerity, design tends to favour the classic and beautiful a

refuge from real-life struggles. Equally, in better times, designers and creatives can afford to live like common people. Black says: Once youve established good readability of the text and straightforward way-finding, you can do anything you want. Its up to the reader to decide if it works. When I was starting out in magazines we didnt worry so much about consistency, or even the design details. We wanted great pictures and good pacing. We made some ragged mistakes along the way. Fortunately for me, my issues of Rolling Stone are remembered for the great covers and features not the failures. Its time again to take some risks, so we can break through the predictable. Lets give readers a shock . . . and a little awe."

onday morning in central London: gloomy, raining and delays on the tube. The only respite from the tediousness of the moment is to reach into your bag and fish out the latest rain-soaked issue of your favourite magazine. Its a familiar story. Despite all the predictions charting the death of print, and all of the mobile and tablet platforms that have emerged during this time, the print magazine is still the preferred refuge from the tediousness of the morning. Indeed, the will they, wont they? moment that occurred between print and digital towards the middle of the last decade has all but given way to marital bliss, as any perceived battleground between the two delivery channels has fallen away. If pandas were as easy to breed as digital magazines, zoos would be full of them. Or, perhaps, monkeys. Monkey magazine, which was pioneered by the UK's Dennis Publishing in 2006 as the first fully digital-only mens magazine, has been rolled out into international markets over the past two years. As a result of the success of this and other digital titles, Dennis now makes almost half of its total domestic ad-revenue from digital publications, and this is a threshold that looks set to be crossed sooner rather than later. In an interview with UK trade magazine MediaWeek in January 2011 now an exclusively online publication James Tye, chief executive of Dennis Publishing, said: I dont think the portfolio will ever be all digital, but I wouldnt be surprised if we crossed that 50 per cent boundary in two or three years. Globally, magazine brands have done an excellent job of expanding their readership through the digital channel. In 2010 the total number of global internet users who visited an entertainment news property such as Maxim or Gala grew 40 per cent to 330 million people aged 15+, according to comScore. That represents a significant increase. It also reiterates the digital opportunities available to magazine publishers seeking to extend distribution beyond paper boundaries and into overseas markets. However for all of the advancements made in online publishing in the recent past, magazine publishers are now awakening to a new digital challenge; a challenge that this time threatens not only the paper it is printed on, but the very concept of magazine content itself. That challenge is social media. Or, at least, that is how it is conceptualised. Like many things the evolution of the internet can be charted not necessarily

The last decade has seen the uptake of digital media advance, with both positive and negative knock-on effects for the magazine publishing industry. The explosion in social media is revolutionising magazine consumption even further, particularly in international markets where growth in mobile internet usage is erce. How is this new course of transition being steered? And what potential risks and opportunities are associated with this emerging technology? Jamie Gavin investigates.

by its technological realities, but rather by the etymology we ascribe to them. From information superhighway, to converging media through Web 1, 2, 3.0, the digital medium has taken on many guises. This latest attempt to mass-categorise the multiple components of a constantly evolving digital eco-system is social media, and for the large part this term does an excellent job of describing the shift from didactic to conversational content that is occurring on an international level. comScore figures estimate the global internet audience to currently stand at approximately 1.3 billion users, aged 15+.
Patrick Smith, editor and chief analyst at themedia brieng.com

That means that with a global audience of 330 million, four out of 10 internet users around the world are now accessing entertainment news content on a regular basis. Conversely, 1.1 billion people or eight out of 10 global internet users accessed at least one social media site during the same month. Tellingly, Facebook alone attracted 660 million monthly internet users, exactly double the number of global internet users who visited an entertainment news site during the same period. This represents a fundamental sea-change in the way that we think of the media industry as a whole, with communication rather than content being placed at the heart of the web. Patrick Smith, editor and chief analyst at themediabriefing.com and former newspapers reporter at Press Gazette in the UK, argues that the very concept of what constitutes content is itself evolving: The issue is not one of moving away from content towards conversation, but one of that conversation becoming the content itself. Young people do not necessarily make that distinction, and are much more publishers within their own right than previous generations: sharing links, creating video content, and uploading photos to Facebook.

This trend is not being helped by the fact that brands facilitated by social media and blog publishing platforms are increasingly taking it upon themselves to communicate directly with their consumers. The risks, therefore, are growing. With consumers becoming increasingly focussed on community content and brands seeking to communicate with these audiences directly, the need for a traditional content production hub is gradually being eroded on both sides. Couple this with the fact that Facebook now boasts a community twice the size of the entire global online entertainment news audience without the overheads of

content creation and the emergence of social media begins to look like a daunting prospect for the magazine industry. An interesting sub-plot within this shift is the implications it holds for the publisheragency relationship, as Ciaran Norris, head of digital at UK agency Mindshare World, alludes to: I would argue that it was the web as a whole rather than specifically social media, but the agency-publisher relationship is undoubtedly changing. Many publishers are now moving into areas that would previously have been the domain of agencies such as creative, while agencies are moving into areas more traditionally thought of as publishing, such as sourcing and creating content. And on top of all this, companies like Facebook and Google have become publishers within their own right without ever having created any content and are scooping up revenue from traditional publishers and agencies alike. Certainly, the global magazine industry has faced challenges to the traditional publishing model before, and just like the period of digital migration before it, the social media shift brings about the potential for opportunity as well as risk. One fundamental we emphasise to our clients at inPress Online is to view social media channels as an engagement network across the web, rather than attempting to build offsite communities on platforms like Twitter and Facebook in isolation. By taking a joined-up approach to social media, brands are beginning to learn how to leverage an all roads lead to Rome approach, which uses social media channels as direct response points to draw audiences directly back to on-site content. If you can do that within the framework of a two-way communication that relies on greater consumer input, then social media can become a powerful publishing tool. Senior social media reporter for Centaurs New Media Age magazine, Charlotte McEleny, is adamant that while social media threatens to take away eyeballs from traditional magazine content, the opportunities presented by these channels by far outweigh the risks.

Ale Lewis, publishing director of the BBC Good Food Group

The opportunities in social media outweigh the disadvantages if you use these channels in the right way. If you are just using social media to disseminate snapshot messages then of course you will create a problem in losing eyeballs and engagement levels from the main content areas. The real challenge is using social media as a way of bringing users back to your site and keeping advertisers happy. McEleny also believes that we are about to witness a return to more gated content communities, in the form of the paywall.

Economic viability

Preliminary reactions to newspaper paywalls have been mixed. Their economic viability would appear to depend on a straightforward equation between the losses in advertising revenue brought about by diminishing audiences, versus increased subscription fees. However, blessings can often be delivered in disguise and through the growth of mobile technology and, in particular the launch of Apples iPad, magazine publishers are discovering new formats through which to attract advertising and subscription revenues. One example of this is the newly launched BBC Magazines' Good Food iPad app. With more than 3.4 million monthly visitors to bbcgoodfood.com and a print readership of more than 300,000 copies, the magazine is already popular in both print and online. With the launch of the app, the Good Food

brand has not only been able to expand onto an additional platform, but also offers a range of capabilities that were previously unavailable in its other incarnations. The first thing that hits users when they launch the Good Food app, is the stunning quality of the photography of the backlit iPad, says Alfie Lewis, publishing director of the BBC Good Food Group. Additionally, readers can now flip directly to recipes listed in full on the back of photographs, and increase the font size to use while cooking. Recipes can be shared directly via email, and ingredients added directly to shopping lists without the need to tear pages from the magazine. These more practical features exclusive to the iPad version of the magazine could simply not have existed on other platforms. Of course, while increased aesthetic and ergonomic capabilities are an enticing prospect for iPad magazine readers, it is ultimately the economic viability of these apps that will determine the formats longterm success within the industry. Lewis passion for the new iPad app is shared by Rebekah Billingsley, BBC Magazines' mobile devices publisher, who adds that of all digital products to date, the Good Food iPad app most replicates the traditional magazine offering beautiful, image led products. Inherent within this likeness to the print magazine is a built-in push functionality that notifies participating readers when the latest issue of the magazine app becomes available. These kinds of capabilities are helping magazine content to find its way back onto the consumer agenda, as opposed to simply being stumbled upon through serendipitous browsing online. Paul Armstrong, head of social media at Mindshare, emphasises the need for magazines to get back to the core of their readers routines, using whatever platform is most applicable for that individual: The biology of people has not changed, technology has simply evolved, and that increases the levels of instant gratification and community sharing when it comes to media consumption. It is important to get back to the heart of consumers daily routines, and leveraging capabilities like notification alarms within newspaper and magazine apps is an excellent way to get

there. We must remember, however, that social media is ultimately about people not tricks or tools. Ultimately we are all here agencies, brands, and publishers alike to change the hearts and minds of consumers, hopefully for the better. This would be a sensible mantra for the international magazine industry to adopt. While the iPad app is emblematic of one way in which traditional magazine publishers may generate incremental revenues from emerging mobile and social technology, it is not a holistic solution. Android users, for example, now make up a larger share of smartphone subscribers in the US than iPhone users, and with new forms of tablets emerging all the time, the ability to distribute across multiple operating systems can make for a heavy and increasingly non-universal investment.

Top titles on Twitter


Magazines have been at the Twitter game for a while now, and many have built large, loyal followings. There are eight magazine brands with more than a million followers, and 14 with more than half a million. Inspired by a survey done by The Wrap last year, Folio Magazine has taken a look at those magazine brands with the most Twitter followers. The list was culled at the end of January (follower counts were taken on 31 Jan).

Outside the box

leveraging their huge, internationally recognisable brands to establish communities on social networking sites and delivering branded content within them. In days gone by, a magazine may have carried a display ad created by an ad-agency with a phone number or email address acting as a direct response mechanism for that brand. Now they have the opportunity to create exclusive content and include immediate links directly to the magazine or brand site, and instead of generating buzz through word-of-mouth marketing or pass-on readership, benefit from the direct sharing of that content immediately through the online network effect. To execute this strategy, it may be that the magazine industry has to conceptualise itself as shifting more towards an advertorialbased approach than we have seen previously in the print and online epochs.

The real challenge for magazine publishers is not to see social media technologies in isolation, but to seek an integrated approach to content distribution that, for the time being at least, does not rely too heavily upon one form of technology over another. The possibilities for publishers to leverage direct-response communities online and then create packages for brands around them are endless. From branded Facebook tabs, to affiliated marketing promotions, crowdsourced ad-content, to treasure hunts and check-ins using location-based services and beyond, there are more boxes to tick than ever before in terms of advertising campaigns. The trick, of course, is not to think inside these boxes, but around them. Integrating tools like Facebook connect and collecting login details for promotional vouchers issued on social networking sites not only increases engagement levels and digital footprint, but helps to establish longterm relationships with consumers. Going forward, magazines will need to place themselves at the heart of this content:

Behavioural targeting

Whatever the risks that social media poses to the traditional magazine publishing industry it is clear that the benefits, potentially at least, outweigh them. One advantage to emerging social media technologies that is often overlooked in the media industry is the incredible behavioural targeting and customer retention benefits that they bring. Never before in the magazine industrys history have publishers had so much data at their fingertips to record and analyse the behaviour of their readers, and tailor content towards them, as Matthew Yorke, president of IDG Global Media testifies: Magazines have been about building audiences around common passions and interests, and social media is no different people congregate around those passions on the social web much like a water cooler. In a social world magazines can make direct connections with those passionate readers beyond the magazine, and there is a huge opportunity to understand how that audience is speaking about a certain topic in real-time and joining in that conversation. The opportunities are now there to track consumer behaviour not only from publisher to brand site and through to point of purchase, but right across the web, and to react to and engage with consumers in real time to influence that journey. Magazines have a huge opportunity in front of them to capture, captivate, and retain expanded readerships through social media. But as most commentators would testify, it is about applying a consumer-driven approach to this process and leveraging the right technologies accordingly. Jamie Gavin is managing director of inPress Online (inpressonline.com), a new digital communications agency providing integrated services in PR, social media, SEO, and marketing and advertising.

Striking a pose
Cosmopolitan has been giving sassy advice to generations of young women. Founded in the 19th century and reinvented in the 60s by the original womens libber Helen Gurley Brown, Cosmo is still very much a girls racy best friend, says Duncan Edwards, Hearst Magazines International president and CEO.
MAGAZINE WORLD (MW): How did

Cosmopolitan come about?

DUNCAN EDWARDS (DE): Cosmopolitan started as a general interest literary magazine and was a very important magazine of its time and well into the 20th century. However, in the early 60s the magazine had lost its way. At that time, Helen Gurley Brown had just written this book called Sex and the Single Girl which had become a huge cultural phenomenon in the US. She was then offered the opportunity to take over the magazine and use it as a vehicle for sharing her views with young women in America. The new version of Cosmopolitan that Gurley Brown created in 1965 changed the face of womens magazines almost overnight. The way the magazine offered relationship and personal advice mixed with a dose of sexual empowerment messages led to the modern-day Cosmo brand and its worldwide dominance. Brands have to stand for something timeless and enduring. How Cosmo is edited has changed over time, but the principles that underpin it remain the same. So I wouldnt necessarily say that the 60s and 70s were the magazines glory years in fact, with 62 editions, Cosmo is now the most widely read womens magazine in the world. MW: The magazine's international expansion has been phenomenal give us an idea of the scope of this side of your business? DE: Our first venture overseas was in 1972, when we launched in the UK. This, by all accounts, was against the wishes of the management of National Magazine Company at the time, who didnt think British women were ready for Cosmos rather racy content. But it was an enormous success it sold out in a couple of days and the magazine had to be reprinted. In general, thats been the story in every market that weve gone to. Young women around the world are looking for empowerment and have this desire to have a magazine which helps them get the most out of life. Cosmo has a very powerful message and one that is universal. After the UK launch, we quickly expanded

overseas, with France, Brazil and Mexico and other parts of Latin America in 1973. There were some big markets established quite quickly, and there was a drive to create an international business, largely through licenses and joint ventures.
MW: Are you reaching saturation now on the global front? DE: Most of the big markets now have a Cosmo. But weve announced two new launches in the past few months weve just launched in Mongolia, which makes us the first western magazine in the country. We launched in Vietnam last year. And weve just announced the launch of Cosmo Middle East, East out of Dubai and there will be more launches throughout the year. We are dealing with a finite number of countries we cant invent a country with 100 million people but there are more places where wed like to publish Cosmo. I dont think there is a country where it wouldnt work its just a case of finding the right partner. MW: How do you control the brand beyond your own borders? DE: The fundamental values behind the brand are clear. But the execution of that message has to be done locally and has to be sensitive to the cultural norms that exist in each place. Were used to this. We publish in the US and UK which have fairly liberal attitudes and then we publish Cosmo in some predominantly Muslim countries like Indonesia, Malaysia, Turkey and, now, in the Middle East, where there is a more conservative culture. Young women in these countries have different attitudes, particularly to sexual content so we have to respect that. Its good business to do so.

SOUTH AFRICA
April 1994: Cosmo South Africa features the role Cosmopolitan played in the lives of political prisoners on Robben Island, including using the magazine to create a secret code. April 2009: Cover of Cosmo South Africas 25th Anniversary issue featured a white silhouette of the iconic Cosmo pose. The issue also contained a 72-page 25-year anniversary special.

As far as our cover girls are concerned the image is pretty much consistent everywhere. Its a three quarter length crop, usually in the same confident pose, one hand on her waist, one hand on her hip. The girl usually has lots of hair with movement and is smiling, showing teeth. The girl is meant to look like a woman that other women would like to be friends with. Shes meant to look sexy, but not intimidating. We use images from the US and the UK around our international editions, when appropriate, but we also use images that are shot locally. We do have a brand book, to help our partners, which details the architecture of the magazine the colours, look, fonts, etc. But we are constantly updating the brand its very much a dynamic, organic process a living document. And we have a number of other ways of managing the brand, including a team in New York responsible for the day-to-day contact with all of our editions, a system to share content, a bi-annual conference and training in New York.
MW: Competition in the womens sector is huge. How does Cosmopolitan fight its corner? DE: In more or less every market around the world the magazine is the number one or two title in its category. In some markets it competes aggressively with fashion magazines, particularly in Asia. In other markets, its more of a circulation magazine. So its one of the great global brands. There arent that many but Cosmo is certainly one. I would argue that Elle is another,

Marie Claire is a good global business and then Vogue is the other one it has fewer editions, but is very powerful, wherever it exists. Beyond that, there are very few; there are lots of strong local magazines, but that is really the pack. That said, everywhere you go there is extremely tough competition.
MW: How does Cosmopolitan build its digital presence? DE: We have just won the Ad Age award for International Digital Strategy. Our strategy is that every edition of Cosmo has a website. We are also keen to build community. There are large communities of women that talk to each other through our websites. We are also, of course, delivering digital magazines on tablets. If youre travelling, or want to carry more than one magazine around with you, then the tablet is a good way of doing this. The tablet experience is similar to reading a printed magazine, but its an additional distribution means, not a replacement for print. The print version still has many advantages, and we certainly dont think it's going to go away. I think it is a superior experience. MW: What about brand extensions? DE: There are Cosmo-branded products

editions of Cosmo and continue to improve the editions we have. Sometimes one of the most important things is to look after what youve got. Thats always number one on our list.
MW: Who is your typical reader? DE: In every country we have a very specific

portrait of our reader. We give her a name and an identity, like an avatar. Generally shes in her early twenties, single, working and making her first steps into adulthood.

MW: How did the global recession affect Cosmopolitan? DE: 2009 was an extremely challenging year for everybody. But, as a strong market leader, it was less affected. It was much more robust than many other magazines. We were able to weather the storm that year and, in fact, in many markets were able to pick up significant market share. In 2010 we had a good recovery, made a lot of money, and we expect that to continue in 2011. MW: Where do you see Cosmo in 10 years time? DE: Cosmo is a phenomenon. The thing that underpins it is its enduring brand philosophy. And that is not going to go away. How it evolves and how it is delivered, will change. You compare the magazine now to editions 10 or 20 years ago and, although its still serving the same purpose, its different. So Cosmo will still be here in 10 years. And, in my view, it will still be on paper. But many consumers will read it on some form of digital device. And the devices will change massively, as well.

around the world, and they do pretty well. There are books, and all sorts of different things. There will continue to be different extensions. But really Cosmo is a magazine at its heart.

MW: What plans do you have for the title? DE: We will continue to launch more

Magazine WoRld (MW): Could you give us a little history about Media24? John Relihan (JR): Media24 Magazines is a subsidiary of Media24, which, in turn, represents a division with newspapers, magazines, book publishing, distribution, printing and online publishing entities of the Naspers Group. Naspers was founded as Die Nasionale Pers (The National Press) in 1915. Initially it published one newspaper (Die Burger The Citizen), but expanded to publish its first magazine Huisgenoot (Home Companion) in 1916. Huisgenoot remains a flagship weekly magazine, selling around 320,000 copies per issue. MW: How is the company structured? JR: Media24 Magazines comprises five

At the beginning of 2010, we established a central advertising sales division. It is responsible for the top 70 per cent agencies (in terms of revenue - the bulk of advertising in South Africa is sold through media buying agencies) and clients (big brands, e.g. Unilever, Proctor & Gamble, Tiger Brands etc). This division sells 360 marketing solutions across all channels (print, online, events, competitions etc). Direct advertisers and classifieds are managed by smaller sales teams that reside within the respective business units.

In addition to advertising sales, corporate support at the magazine division also includes the CFO (with all services reporting in: HR, circulation services, finance, IT etc); digital publishing solutions (developing apps, an e-workflow system and publishing to tablets and e-readers) and strategy development.
MW: What would you say is the most successful strand of this diverse business? JR: Our flagship weekly titles by far; the trio of Huisgenoot, YOU and Drum, with their combined average weekly sales of around 640,000 copies. On a monthly basis, these three represent around 46 per cent of all magazine copies sold in South Africa. This unit is also home to Skouspel, an Afrikaans music event and the largest of its kind in the country, as well as numerous printed special editions. The success is attributed to these truly South African titles being deeply

Media24 now has a variety of its popular brands on the iPad

The strongest growth recently has come from titles aimed at the developing market...
entrenched in the media consumption behaviour of South Africans (given also that Huisgenoot is the longest standing local magazine), as well as the following:

of titles will be available on tablet/ereaders by the end of March 2011.


MW: What impact did the global downturn have on your business? JR: June 2009 saw South Africa falling prey to the global downturn when the country entered its first recession in 17 years. By the end of that year, job losses tallied around one million; numerous small to medium sized businesses had to close shop and major advertisers reduced their marketing spend dramatically. But then a wave of optimism hit the country in the run-up to South Africa hosting the FIFA Soccer World Cup in the middle of 2010. Consumer optimism jumped by several percentage points and marketers eager to exploit this upswing and expected growth in sales (from also the influx of foreign visitors) created a boom for all media. The magazine industry at large has remained fairly stable over the past two years; likewise Media24 Magazines, as both the circulation and advertising market leader. MW: In South Africa, Media24 is a leading publisher. Is international expansion, particularly in other parts of Africa, still on the cards, or are you now consolidating this part

of the business? JR: We have closed down our magazine publishing operations in Kenya and converted a publishing partnership in Nigeria into a licensing agreement. Our titles are distributed to immediate neighbouring countries, but we do not, at this stage, foresee any expansions into the rest of Africa.
MW: What markets are your biggest and why? JR: South Africa; our insights and

Unique editorial mix: News, gossip, info Reader comes first: Consumer activist Emotional touch-point: Ordinary people Continuous evolvement: Stay fresh True to 90 year brand legacy: Knows South Africans: Exploit niches
Having said that, the strongest growth over the past year and also considered to be the source of future growth has come from titles aimed at the developing market. In the recent consolidation of the company into five publishing units, we have strengthened the portfolio for this market from three to four womens general interest titles and also TV entertainment, soccer and mens lifestyle.
MW: How have you managed to produce a successful business model for your online publishing? JR: At Media24 Magazines we consider websites as important companions to the print brands and we have managed to grow our digital revenues from these websites by around 100 per cent over the past year. However, our main priority is not to publish magazine websites, but rather use these platforms to build brand communities and drive social media. In the digital sphere, our focus is now on developing magazine brand related applications for tablets/e-readers and mobile (including Android). Our full portfolio

understanding of local readers allows us tofocus on home-grown being best for a local market. We believe were in the business of quality content that enriches lives and builds communities; access to which is of value to our advertisers.

Companion for all

MW: Do you have a company slogan or philosophy? JR: Our philosophy is to create and publish world class magazine brand content that enriches lives on multiple platforms MW: Where do you see growth for Media24 in the short term and medium term? JR: The developing market segment (rapidly growing new middle class) locally, as well as magazine brandrelated apps (tablet and mobile).

HOTSP T
I
t is no surprise that Indonesia is on the radar of international publishers. It is the largest economy in South East Asia, the third fastest growing G-20 economy after India and China and has a buoyant tourist industry, earning hard cash alongside the robust oil and gas, textile and plywood export industries. These are some of the reasons to be cheerful for Indonesias 240 million people, more than 80 per cent of whom are above the poverty line. The gleaming high-rise metropolis of Jakarta is testimony to the hive of industrious activity which permeates this nation of 17,508 islands. But, it is not all rich pickings and, rather like the 129 active volcanoes dotted around the archipelago, there are hotspots to be mindful of. The healthy growth of the economy since 2004, as well as the consistent growth of magazine Adex which grew to close to US$130m in 2009 from around US$60m in 2004 - inevitably fuelled the confidence level of magazine publishers to expand their portfolios. While it would be too far fetched to say that they were suffering from irrational exuberance, in hindsight, some warning signs were, indeed, overlooked, and a fair number felt the consequences. That said the domestic industry has made significant ground since the turn of the century. Before 1998, the growth of print media in Indonesia had been relatively slow, due to strict regulation. During that period, whoever wanted to launch a publication, had to have a SIUPP (Press Publication Business Licence). The government considered the dispersal of information as its responsibility, and had created a special department named the Department of Information to govern the media. As a result, the Indonesian publishing industry was fully controlled by the government, unlike other industries. To publish a new magazine or newspaper, many documents were required, and only a small number of publishers owned a SIUPP.

In the past few years theres been a urry of international interest in the Indonesian magazine market. Attracted by good growth potential and a receptive, literate audience, it has been an exciting time for the industry, as Elwin Siregar reports.

A moment of euphoria

Everything shifted when Indonesia entered the Reform Era in 1998. During the time of President Bacharuddin Jusuf Habibie, Muhammad Yunus Yosfiah, The Minister of Information, revoked SIUPPs as the absolute prerequisite for publishing businesses. The free market era for the publishing industry commenced, and the freedom of the press has been stronger since President Abdurrahman Wahid dissolved the Ministry of Information in 1999, when he decided that the spread of information was not the governments responsibility. Immediately, the progress of events affected the numbers of print media. As illustrated in 2003: within a semester the number of magazines escalated from 193 to 305 titles, while the number of tabloids jolted from 62 to 102 titles. If we compare with the period prior to 1998, the growth of the numbers of periodicals jumped almost 400 per cent. The emergence of the print media was followed by diversity in categories. The segmentation not only used demographics,

but also psychographics, and, thereafter, many sub-categories have emerged. In the womens category, for instance, we could find magazines about fashion, beauty, parenting and cooking, while in the childrens category, apart from magazines for pre-school, kindergarten, and elementary school, many characters appeared, for the purpose of both education and also entertainment. The same situation happened in the automotive category, with the introduction of new specialised magazines.

After the feast, the hangover

This feast, however, did not turn the publishing business into a smooth highway overnight. The circulation system, for example, could become an obstacle. Distributing publications and collecting payments from traditional agents was not easy. Agents were often overwhelmed with the magnitude of titles and lost focus. Many new media emerged and, reluctantly, died fast. New faces in the industry had to admit their lack of distribution coverage, and their bargaining power with the traditional agents was not strong. As a result, in 2004 the growth of the media slowed down. By 2009 the market reached a new equilibrium with 300 titles covering both magazines and tabloids. A number of publishers reacted with continuous improvements in the work process, and more efficiency in the distribution process. Kompas Gramedia, for instance, created a centralised circulation system. This resulted in distribution cost efficiencies, a boost in bargaining power, as well as the opportunity for package subscription programmes. On the production side, WoodWing software has been used, which has created a shorter-time production process, an orderly database and easy control.

Licensed magazines

The growing newsstands in Indonesia show this market has potential for international publishers

Alongside the new surge in the publishing industry, a number of international brands entered the Indonesian market. MRA was seen as the pioneer, with the

launch of Kosmopolitan in 1997, and this Hearst publication has seen more success after changing its title to Cosmopolitan in 2001. The success drove MRA to launch more Hearst titles, such as Cosmogirl and Harpers Bazaar. Nowadays, MRA publishes 14 licensed magazines. Femina Group, a long standing publisher of womens magazines, also launched Cleo, Estetica, Readers Digest, and Mens Health. Currently, Femina publishes eight licensed media, more than its local magazines (six titles). Kompas Gramedia as the biggest publisher in Indonesia, through its Kompas Gramedia Magazine Group, currently publishes 27 licensed magazines. Some 15 of them fall into the children's media category with titles such as Bobo, National Geographic Kids, Donald Duck, Disney and Me, Princess, Tinker Bell, Cars, Barbie, Jalan Sesama (Indonesian version of Sesame Street), etc. Bobo magazine, which was launched in 1973, now experiences higher circulation than in its country of origin, The Netherlands. Beyond childrens media, Kompas Gramedia Magazine Group has launched National Geographic, National Geographic Traveler, Auto Bild, Chip, Chip Foto-Video Digital, Digital Camera, Prevention, and

What Hi-Fi? Sound and Vision. In July 2010, Kompas Gramedia Magazine Group launched four additional magazines: Fortune, InStyle, More and Martha Stewart Living. The total number of licensed magazines in Indonesia has now reached 80 titles, a 175 per cent increase from 2005.

Ad driven magazines

The imbalance in the growth of publications compared to readers has changed the business model. Many periodicals are not heavily supported by circulation revenue it's coming from advertising instead. There is also a tendency for some magazines to be designed as ad drivers. This happens especially in lifestyle magazines, which contribute to the average increase in the advertisement pie as much as 20 per cent per year. The advertisement format has also developed towards creative ads, from display ads previously. Furthermore, to answer the shift in reading habits, advertisers book ads in both print media and digital.

Digital initiatives

Digital advancement has been rapid. According to internetworldstats.com, approximately 30 million Indonesians access

digital

the internet. Although the penetration is still low at 12 per cent, Indonesia has positioned itself as number five in Asia, after China, Japan, India, and South Korea. There are currently 160 million mobile phone users, and 15 per cent have internet access. Many periodicals have taken advantage of websites as a promotional tool. On the websites, a few publishers use articles as teasers, and there are pages offering subscription programmes. In the last three years, a few toplevel publishers have re-launched their websites with the newest information and interactive features such as commentary columns and forum facilities, so that the visitors can exchange information. As far as mobile phone initiatives are concerned, the first were carried out through interactive SMS. They didn't last long, and a couple of years later a few media companies started to provide mobile versions of their websites. Others have advanced further through the introduction of applications for mobile phones and tablet PCs, such as Apples iPad and Samsungs Galaxy Tab. Initiatives conducted by Kompas Gramedia Magazine Group embrace all of the above The increase of visitor traffic has reached 300 per cent for each of the last three years; while similar increases have been seen in revenue. On the iPad, the companys MAJALAH app, reached number one in Top Free Apps, just two days after it was launched. The current situation is not too surprising, as illustrated by Nielsen at the recent Indonesia Marketing Forum. The company reported a stable increase in GNP since 2002, the highest level of the Jakarta Stock Exchange Composite Index since the recession and the highest reserve of foreign exchange. Quoting Yongki Susilo of Nielsen Indonesia: It is indeed the harvest year of Indonesian dreams. As Indonesian publishers reach for these dreams, up is the only way. Elwin Siregar is publishing general manager at Kompas Gramedia Magazine Group. Additional reporting by the Jakarta Post and other sources.

association profile magazines canada

Turning a new leaf


Magazines Canada, founded in October 1973, has become the lead advocate and focal point for Canadas magazine media says CEO Mark Jamison.
association evolved?
MAGAZINE WORLD (MW): How has the MARK JAMISON (MJ): The association started as a national physical distributor of Canadian magazines and has continued to enhance its participation with the industry in the marketplace in many diverse ways. Over the last decade, the industry mandated the CMPA to first integrate the advertising bureau (called Magazines Canada) and then the core of the countrys B2B magazines into one umbrella organisation rebranded Magazines Canada (2005). This evolution has positioned Magazines Canada to be responsive to magazine media needs. Magazines Canada has also evolved into an umbrella for the regional associations and other related national associations under which to share programme content and address common advocacy needs.

MW: What are your main priorities as far as supporting your membership? MJ: There are four focus points involving a robust level of staff and volunteer activity aimed at ensuring a healthy and vibrant magazine industry:

It's a busy year for Magazines Canada, launching a magazine and running its annual conference

1. Public Affairs has a national focus with a variety of contacts and submissions in support of government policy that is Canadian content focused 2. Advertising trade advocacy encompasses events, research, a major awards programme, and specific services like Ad Direct, a webbased ad pre-flight and delivery portal powered by industry-leader SendMyAd. 3. Circulation marketing encompasses a digital newsstand, direct marketing campaigns, newsstand promotions and, perhaps unique in the world, a publisherdriven direct-to-retail newsstand distributor. As the only distributor dedicated exclusively to Canadian magazines, Magazines Canada services a cross country network of specialty, independent and chain retailers. We distribute our member magazines to almost 200 retailers, and to wholesalers who supply a further 150 stores. We are working on an ongoing basis to maximise efficiencies, improve reach and generate sales, as well as offering a competitive pay scale, easy-to-read

online sales reports and customer service. 4. Personal development makes the association a leading provider of in-career training in Canada, with MagNet, our annual conference, being the largest gathering of any media organisation in Canada (1,300 delegates).
MW: How important are your international ties and the international market in general? MJ: Magazines Canada holds membership with FIPP, ABM, and MPA, monitoring activity and sharing when the opportunity arises. We do this in concert with very active relationships with our many regional magazine associations, as well as other national media organisations, from circulators to copyright to film and newspapers. We have to keep an eye on international trends so the association can remain nimble in helping members keep Canadian content top-of-mind in Canada (for example, Canadian magazines have 70 per cent of the subscription market but only five per cent of newsstand sales.) One useful platform for this exchange is MagNet. A partnership of many associations, this conference brings together speakers and delegates from across Canada and the world.

MW: What are you doing to support and advise your membership in these difficult economic times? MJ: The association works to make sure that its members get reasonable cost collaborative access to programmes critical to generating business. Increased advertising and political advocacy rounds out this response. For example: In personal development: We have frozen prices on most programmes, and will be offering enhanced value packages to our annual conference and webinar series passes. We also provide bursaries to members with smaller circulations to offset travel and registration costs. We are also working to reduce the need for members to travel to our programmes by increasing our offerings that allow magazines to take part remotely; i.e. our webinar series and the travelling consultants programme. We carefully select our presenters and offerings to provide personal motivation, ideas for accessing different revenue streams and the tools our members need to strengthen their businesses. In ad trade advocacy: Advertising services has created the comprehensive Toolkit for

the Times initiative, encompassing magblast video podcasts, newsletters, fact books, one-page Fast Facts, webinars, live events and specialty documents, all designed to educate and inspire key stakeholders: sales professionals, media planners/buyers and advertisers. Each initiative strives to explode myths, create top-of-mind awareness and look to the future in proving the ongoing relevance and power of magazines. Other practical tools include the AdDirect ad portal and magworks creative testing service. In public affairs: The association worked to ensure that the Government of Canada sustained its commitment to and support of Canadian content programmes, including the impact of postal rates in getting content to Canadians. In circulation marketing: In 2008, our Newsstand Marketing Project helped Magazines Canada titles outperform the industry by 24 per cent and boost single copy sales by 33 per cent. In 2009-10 our collaborative Direct Marketing campaign was marketed to 970,939 readers across Canada and sold 14,626 subscriptions to a vast array of Canadian consumer magazines. Magazines

to online TV programmes. That print readership did not decline in the recession gives added momentum to the digital drive as the industry ramps up out of the economic downturn. On the practical side, Magazines Canada partnered with Zinio to create the collaborative digital newsstand, now with over 170 titles on the system all beginning to offer even more consumer-friendly access.
MW: What is the Canadian market like at the moment? And how does it differ from the US market? MJ: Industry fundamentals remain strong, despite a recessionary economy, as readership, circulation, readers-per-copy and time-spent reading have been maintained. Performance indicates that the recession dip was the result of advertiser cutbacks rather than changes in consumer behaviour. Canadian magazine advertising revenue has bounced back from its recessionary 2009 low with ROP (run of page) pages up over five per cent (November year to date). As online/digital revenues continue their rapid expansion, magazines are increasing their capacity to extend content across all relevant digital platforms and devices while creating integrated multi-platform sales bundles. Canadian ad revenue performance has consistently outpaced the US for several years and future forecasts predict similar performance going forward into 2011. MW: What are the most popular magazine sectors and those with potential for growth? MJ: From the Consumer Magazine Fact Book we could glean that the category that has grown the most with the most launches in the past five years is leisure/ recreation/sports/travel with 48 new launches (45 in English and three in French) followed by city/regional general interest with 42 (41 English and one French) and then lifestyle (31 English and one French). The general interest magazine category accounts for the highest average issue circulation in Canada (9.52 million in 2009). Womens magazines (5.85 million) and city/ regional magazines (5.79 million) follow. MW: Are you implementing any major campaigns or events? MJ: Whether it is professional development or ad trade services, face to face or online, if Magazine Canada runs something and magazine media stakeholders consume it, its an event. Based on the trends, we will see Magazines Canada branded content, event themes and marketing move across many delivery platforms for maximum benefit to members.

Face-to-face delivery: Several events and programmes have been developed for 2011/12 to portray the magazine medium as a creative, innovative medium of the future (State of the Magazine Nation; Integrated Programs that Work; the Best on Page Awards; magblast podcast series). Conference delivery: MagNet will be tied to themes informed by other delivery platform outcomes. It will continue offering the advantages of the face to face national gathering, but will evolve to offer more and more digital components, such as webcasts during the conference and for post-conference release. Recognition delivery: Magazines Canada has implemented four separate advertising campaigns for consumer magazines and business media this fiscal year focused on varying themes supporting the power of the medium as well as encouragement to recycle magazines after they have been read and shared with others. Public affairs: The Government of Canada has mechanisms to encourage the creation of Canadian content across all cultural activity. However, these mechanisms assume that magazines are printed. Increasingly, our members are competing with domestic and foreign content that is not in print form and not regulated under current instruments.
MW: How do you see the Canadian magazine industry in 10 years time? MJ: Canadian magazine publishers of all sizes are now fully-integrated digital media enterprises embracing all relevant consumer and B2B touch points. Canadian magazines are rapidly offering a menu of communication properties that provide a 360-degree marketing presence surrounding readers wherever they live, work or play. Magazines Canada will continue to play a key role in this future development through creation of a digital roadmap including the development of our digital newsstand and relevant digital apps that deliver across all available platforms from our bedrock print, to tablet, to mobile. We cant overstate the value of an effective governance policy that supports a robust committee system in identifying industry needs and then achieving member driven goals.

the best on page awards is another huge event in the Magazines Canada calendar

Canada promotes its member titles through a range of special events every year including public festivals and conferences. We promote our magazines to libraries and partner with organisations that put the spotlight on Canadian magazines. Our digital newsstand is a collaborative and cost-effective method of disseminating Canadian magazines. In communications in general: Magazines Canada offers one of the most robust website portals among Canadian media associations. Meanwhile, February saw the launch of a national trade periodical, Canadian Magazines Canadiens: Inside Todays Magazine Media. It will feature in-depth profiles of people and publications, commentary from industry experts, plus industry trends, news and accomplishments from the magazine world. far as digital is concerned? MJ: Today, Canadian magazines are fullyintegrated digital media companies driving content across multiple platforms. We observe daily launches of tablet and mobile apps, as well as websites using the power of magazine brands to attract large responsive audiences

Not bad for a product that only launched in May 2010, and a useful reminder of how quickly the way we read, for pleasure and for business, is changing. For magazine publishers, the rise of the tablet is just the latest wave of technology to break over worried heads. Can it really be less than 15 years since we were having serious conversations about whether the internet might overtake radio as an advertising medium? It may have taken nearly two decades of change to persuade magazine veterans that digital was the future (and amazingly there are still a few refuseniks out there), but we are all going to have to think a little faster if were to stay in business over the next 20 years. Sadly, the evidence is that too many of us are filing reports of digital medias omnipresence in the drawer marked too difficult. Its hard to throw print publishing skills that have taken years to develop into lifes garbage chute, but like it or not, the future is digital and has been since the turn of the century. So while youll never find me denigrating those old skills (I was trying to explain how to cast off a headline to a group of baffled online editors only last month), I do spend a lot of my time helping advertising, editorial and production teams update the way they think about the world and their place in it. So, if you recognise your own recidivist tendencies in any of the above, seize the moment to learn from those who have made the switch early and are starting to reap the rewards and from those who have suffered from, perhaps, responding too late.

"A lot of people have chased like Gadarene swine into this, but you cant always reach a given audience this way..."
If we needed a warning that changing patterns of media consumption are going to hurt, it came in January this year with the closure of Hachette Filipacchis UK teen magazine Sugar. As Hachette Filipacchi said at the time: Over the past decade the teen magazine market has declined by 75 per cent as teens spend their media time on mobile and web platforms and increasingly expect to receive content for free. Many smaller publishers would cheerfully kill for Sugars monthly sale of 113,320, but Hachette realised that the real value of the Sugar brand is in the 430,000 readers every month who visit its online incarnation, Sugarscape. Hachette isnt the first consumer publisher to give up the battle to sustain a print title as readers rush online, and it wont be the last. Business publishers were there some years back, as those titles, often data-driven and classified-and-recruitment funded, were amongst the most vulnerable to the lower costs and greater reach of digital. Now UK print B2B stalwarts Graham Sherren and Mike Bokaie, the respective founders of Centaur and Caspian, have joined forces in a start-up which will publish entirely online. For those running magazine publishing companies, adaptation to digital is clearly not optional. If we wanted to analyse the way publishers have reacted, we might split it into five phases (with apologies to the grief counselling industry). See table. The strongest media owners and publishing teams are those that reached stage five the quickest. In four years of moderating the FIPP/VDZ/emediaSF digital publishing conference in Berlin, Ive seen delegates at every stage, and theres no doubt at all that the first step to future profitability is reaching acceptance and adopting a digital mindset. So what might that look like? One of the hardest ideas to change is the way publishers think about circulation. Subscribers and newsstand purchasers were, in the past, the passive recipients of content. Even when readers were involved, things werent always what they seemed. I have appeared as a teacher from Penge in a What Car roadtest and been the author of countless words to fill those few centimetres at the foot of other letters pages. Instead, we need to think of all our readers, whether print or online, as a network of people with a common interest, and therefore, probably, common information and entertainment needs. If we can be a place for them to gather,

FIVE STAGES OF DIGITAL

attracted by our content but also by the opinions of others in the network, well have an audience that advertisers will want to reach. Building that audience happens much faster online, but it can drain away much more quickly too. Just ask Myspace, whose audience numbers dropped by 49 per cent last year, falling from 6.5 million visitors in May 2009, to 3.3 million in May 2010. Fortunately, the skills gained over years of building and maintaining print circulations transfer rather well to digital, giving magazine brands an advantage. At PMA Training in the UK, chairman Keith Elliot says that the fundamentals of journalism are constant, but the companys post-graduate course continues to change and adapt, with students now leaving with skills such as video interviewing and editing which make them ideal for online roles. Students now work on a print magazine, but also on a commercial online magazine, says Elliot. Students looking for jobs can continue working on the online magazine after the course. Not that he believes print is no longer required: A lot of people have chased like Gadarene swine into this, but you cant always reach a given audience this way some people arent willing or able to read online. Sales teams too have to adapt. Some very powerful print brands can still have the conversation that goes: The answer to all your problems is a page in Surprise. Now, what are your problems? Most of us cant.Thinking digitally means really understanding what an advertisers business needs are and coming up with genuinely media-neutral ways of using the network of readers you have developed to help meet those needs. That could include simple banner and contextsensitive advertising, but it might also include

events, whether live or online, surveys, contract publishing and content creation, or new ideas we havent thought of yet. Brian Neil, head of Training and Development at Centaur Media and author of Selling Advertising Space in 90 Minutes, has led sales training for 10 years and has seen the skills required change a good deal. The key principles of selling remain constant find out the requirements of the customer, build rapport and present a decent proposal," says Neil. What has changed is the increasing complexity of options and the metrics used to track success. Sales staff need to be more intellectually versatile, articulate and able to grasp more difficult options in terms of how the web works." Sales teams, journalists and marketers may be arriving at their first jobs better equipped than ever to tackle digital media, but its the publishers, managing directors and boards who often face the most difficulty accepting that decades of experience may have lost its value. In fact, it hasnt. Attracting online readers demands great design and content, excellent marketing and a real understanding of the needs of a specialist audience. If anyone has those skills, its magazine publishers. Mike Hewitt is CEO of the digital publishing business C-Stream. A former editor of Marketing magazine, he launched BrandRepublic. com for Haymarket Media before going on to publish Management Today. Mike still writes and consults in digital media and can be seen moderating the FIPP/VDZ Digital Innovators magazine media conference in Berlin, and teaching the digital module of the FIPP Magazine Brand Management Certif icate in June.

IPPs fifth Research Forum on 14-15 April in Paris, France, will debate the impact on audience behaviour of the emerging digital products offered by publishers yet not neglecting key issues concerning the more traditional field of research into print media. Print isnt dead far from it but it is changing, and the argument isnt so much about where content should live, since it should live everywhere on all platforms, but how to reshape it for different devices. The scene will be set by Denis De Costa of Adobe Systems, France, who will review the reinvention of the reading experience for the digital era. How can digital technologies be used to extend the reach and relevance of magazine publishers editorial content? It is not only that new devices are beginning to carry publishers content, but also there are new ways of using and interacting with those devices, such as animated info graphics and 360 degree rotation of items. Attendees at the Research Forum will explore the implications for audience research, both in demonstrating the value of the editorial content when delivered in fresh and innovative ways, and in valuing the advertising carried. What new research techniques will it be necessary to evolve? subscriptions and magazine apps designed for iPads and other handheld devices. Since marketing mix models are now widely used when planning campaigns, its vital for publishers that optimum information about magazine audiences are fed into the models. All too frequently the data actually used falls well short of the optimum. One particular element that is often missing is the rate of accumulation through time of magazine readership. If this information is absent, the link between exposure to a magazine ad and purchase of a product is severely diluted, and magazines contribution to a campaign will be under-estimated. In the USA, consumer magazine association, MPA, has been working to improve the situation, and at the Research Forum Kathi Love of GfK-MRI will discuss Granularity, a new way of ensuring the right input goes into the models. Granularity is an online portal created by GfK-MRI. It greatly reduces the manpower needed to generate magazine audience data for insertion into marketing mix models. In one step, agencies and modellers are able to extract insertion schedules from their media systems, feed the schedules into the Solutions Granularity portal, specify the desired output There will also be a review of the recent criteria (time periods, markets, demographics) published studies in the US dealing with and download model-ready data. consumers use of magazine content on Discussion of new methods of audience tablets, mobiles and other devices. research will review what neuroscience Theres an obvious need techniques can tell us about readers for surveys which provide use of magazines, with papers from Visit ppresearchforum.

Mags still waiting for recovery party invite


After a contraction in the advertising market over 2008/9, ZenithOptimedia is forecasting a faster recovery for North America than initially expected, with a return to growth in 2010 and further recovery during 2011/12. However, the prospects for the magazine industry are less encouraging. Rachel Nacer reports.

mong the countries of North America the US, Canada and Mexico it's the US market which grabs the headlines. With over 7,000 consumer magazines and around 3,500 paidfor B2B titles, the US is the largest magazine market in the world, with the annual number of consumer magazine copies sold and distributed estimated at around 4.6 billion. Furthermore, the country's publishers are the most active in the world in launching international editions of their magazines. Canada and Mexico both have their own established magazine industries, with approaching 1,300 consumer magazines in Canada and just under 1,500 in Mexico. The reach of the Mexican magazine industry stretches out into the Spanish-speaking countries of Latin America, while a priority for Canadian publishers is to protect their home market from US imports. The FIPP World Magazine Trends 2010/11 report provides information on the magazine and advertising markets of all three countries in the region.

Magazines take a big hit

North America's magazine industry suffered the most during the global economic downturn, reporting a decline in advertising revenues of 21.3 per cent in 2009 following a 7.9 per cent fall in 2008 (chart one). Recovery is not yet in sight, with ZenithOptimedia forecasting further (although smaller) declines in 2011 and 2012. However, there are considerable variations within the region. The magazine market in the USA was particularly badly affected by declining advertising revenue, losing over 27 per cent of its adspend in 2008 and 2009 combined. There has also been a fall in newsstand sales as consumers

have reduced their expenditure during the recession. As a result of the squeeze on revenue, the number of magazine titles fell as closures outnumbered launches. In Canada, although adspend declined sharply at the height of the recession, there are now signs of recovery with ZenithOptimedia forecasting slight growth in magazine adspend from 2010 onwards (chart two). The number of magazines has remained relatively stable but circulation fell for the first time for many years, as publishers sought to reduce costs by cutting print runs and, in some cases, closing down print editions to become digital-only products. The most positive situation is in Mexico, where the magazine industry suffered a less dramatic decline in advertising revenues during the recession. With a forecast for double-digit growth in advertising revenue from 2010 onwards, its level of adspend is expected to have recovered to pre-recession levels by 2012. North American magazine publishers are particularly vulnerable to fluctuations in the advertising market as advertising generates a relatively high proportion of their revenue, outweighing copy sales. Adspend accounts for 59 per cent of total revenue in the USA and 65 per cent in Canada. However, copy sales are more stable than in many other markets since subscription levels are very high. In Canada, 88 per cent of magazine sales are through subscription while in the USA the figure is as high as 90 per cent.

Challenges of new technology

Besides the effects of recession, magazine publishers in the USA and Canada have been faced with the emergence of new

digital media platforms that are increasingly competing with the traditional print media for both audiences and advertising. This is a long-term trend that will have a major impact on the future of the magazine industry. Publishers in the region have been particularly active in adapting their print products to the new technologies, seeing an opportunity to reach new audiences and generate revenue in new ways. The B2B magazine industry has already changed dramatically with publishers moving away from their reliance on print advertising revenue by extending to other media platforms, including digital and events. Meanwhile, consumer publishers are continually launching and updating their websites and are increasingly making use of social networks. They have also been quick to react to the launch of the iPad and other tablet devices by launching digital editions and applications for their titles. In the USA, the Association of Magazine Media tracked 302 digital brand extensions by its members in 2009 alone. In Canada, around 160 publishers are taking part in Magazines Canadas digital newsstand that offers digital editions and applications for the iPad. The situation in Mexico is very different, as a lower rate of internet penetration means that there is relatively little competition from the internet at the moment. As a result, the number of magazine websites remains low in this market. North American publishers have continued to expand their presence in the international

magazine market. The World Magazine Trends report contains information on cross-border magazine launches for the period October 2009-September 2010. During this period the USA has been the most important source of international launches, with its publishers accounting for over a third of all cross-border launches. American publishers have been particularly active in Asia Pacific and, to a lesser degree, in Western Europe. They have, however, had a proportionally smaller role in launching titles in the emerging Central and Eastern European magazine market. The Mexican magazine industry has a traditionally strong presence in the Latin American market (chart three). The leading Mexican magazine publisher, Editorial Televisa, has subsidiaries in a number of Spanish-speaking countries through which it distributes its titles.

The emphasis for the Canadian magazine industry is more on protecting its own domestic market from the spill of US-published magazines. Magazines Canada has been continuing its efforts to persuade the public to Read Canadian and is campaigning for better representation of home-grown titles on the newsstands. As the region emerges from recession, the challenge facing publishers is to ensure that the industry has a share in the overall recovery. This will depend on how well publishers adapt to the structural changes that technological innovation is bringing to the media industry and how well they succeed in generating revenue from the new media platforms. Rachel Nacer is a media and marketing consultant based in Paris, France and editor of FIPPs World Magazine Trends report.
