麻豆社
Magazines and Telegraph Group launch gardening magazine
麻豆社
Magazines and Telegraph Group Limited have signed a deal to launch
a new gardening magazine in spring 2003.
麻豆社
Magazines publishes the UK聮s market leading consumer gardening
title 麻豆社 Gardeners聮 World magazine, as well as Easy
Gardening and Gardens Illustrated.
The
new title, provisionally called `The Daily Telegraph Gardening
magazine聮 will extend the relationship between Telegraph readers
and gardening editorial onto the UK magazine newsstand, reaching
readers not currently catered for by gardening magazines.
The
new magazine will provide in-depth coverage on areas of special
gardening interest, utilising both Telegraph Group Limited and 麻豆社
Magazines聮 unrivalled understanding of the gardening category.
麻豆社
Magazines Publishing Director, Marcus Arthur said: 聯麻豆社 Magazines
is the UK聮s biggest gardening magazines publisher on the newsstand
and we are investing in maintaining our market leading position
in the category. We are delighted to be working with Telegraph Group
Limited on such an exciting project and hope that it is the start
of a long term relationship.聰
Says
Alex Stitt, Enterprise Director, Telegraph Group Limited: 聯This
is a continuance of the company聮s strategic move in migrating
successful brands from the newspaper to the newsstand in an alternative
media format. The Saturday 聭Gardening聮 section has been
a highly successful launch for the paper, and we look forward to
building an equally impressive reputation in the gardening magazine
market.聰
The
first issue will be on sale at the beginning of March 2003, with
a second later in the spring. The Daily Telegraph Gardening magazine
is being published by 麻豆社 Magazines and distributed by Frontline
Ltd. It will be supported by a retail marketing campaign, as well
as consumer advertising through the Telegraph and 麻豆社 Magazines
portfolio.
