American Media, Inc. Announces Men’s Journal Circulation Increase and Additional Brand Growth Investments

American Media, Inc. (AMI) today announced that it was further building on its recent investment in Men’s Journal by increasing the brand’s print circulation to 1.25 million, a 66% increase as current readers of Men’s Journal and Men’s Fitness will be receiving Men’s Journal beginning with the November issue. The integration is part of a broader strategic investment in Men’s Journal that also includes a frequency increase to 12 issues per year and enhancements in both the print and digital products. The brands will continue to maintain separate digital destinations at mensjournal.com and mensfitness.com.

“It’s clear, as evidenced by numerous third party research studies, that today’s affluent men are looking for, and eager to invest in, curated experiences and adventures,” said Men’s Journal Chief Revenue Officer Jay Gallagher. “AMI believes that Men’s Journal is well-positioned to meet these consumer demands by extending our national footprint and deepening our authority in this space with the addition of even more world-class editorial and the significant improvements in paper quality and trim size, so that we can continue to build on our position as the only destination for adventurous men.”

The increase in circulation positions Men’s Journal as a leading brand in the men’s lifestyle category. In addition to the increased reach, the print edition will feature nearly 50 additional pages of editorial content beginning with the November issue. The additional editorial will build upon the brand’s expertise in adventure, travel and gear, and additional fitness content from Men’s Fitness, while delivering the trusted and respected storytelling the brand has developed over the last 25 years.

“Today’s man doesn’t waste time and is more discerning in how he spends it than ever before,” said Men’s Journal Chief Content Officer Greg Emmanuel. “Making the upgrades in content, scale, and quality underscores that AMI and Men’s Journal, unlike anyone else in the industry, are willing to make investments to deliver on what today’s men need most.”

In addition MensJournal.com will also be introducing new products and experiences in the coming months including proprietary ad technologies built on engagement metrics, increased targeting capabilities, and an OTT experience in 2018.

“Recognizing that issues in certain facilities across the country continue to hamper service performance, we have come together to form a National Joint Task Force on Service Performance to identify and craft solutions to improve service at specific locations within the network. Members of the Joint Task Force will work together on making necessary changes to strengthen service reliability, share best practices and stay vigilant to any emerging issues. The National Task Force will also ensure resources are allocated, lines of communication are open and concerns that are not resolved locally are escalated quickly. Maintaining strong service performance is a process, not a destination; through weather, natural disasters and a holiday season in the midst of a pandemic. Mail never stops flowing through our system. If bottlenecks occur it can have a cascading impact on the network. Addressing issues early can make all the difference.” The National Task Force held their first meeting on March 22.
