Rachael Ray Every Day Magazine Unveils Redesign With November 2017 Issue

Meredith Corporation (NYSE:MDP, www.meredith.com),the nation’s leading media and marketing company serving 110 million unduplicated American women and 70 percent of U.S. millennial women—today debuted a fresh, new look and feel for Rachael Ray Every Day magazine. The redesign, which debuts in the November 2017 issue available on sale nationwide October 24, reinforces the brand’s commitment to readers by offering a more contemporary and personalized experience.

The redesign includes a vibrant and elevated approach to photography and visuals, updated layouts and formats, and a revamped editorial lineup. The dynamic refresh offers a modern, easy-to-navigate format with an opportunity for readers to engage with Rachael on a personal level.

Led by newly appointed editor in chief/content director Lauren Iannotti, the print redesign was a collaborative team effort with art director Phoebe Flynn Rich, Allrecipes creative director Mike Belknap, and design consultant Jen Walter. Rachael Ray Every Day continues to offer its signature trusted content across food, home, lifestyle, travel, and entertaining. It aims to showcase the voice of an authentic, beloved personality and bring to life Rachael’s fun, energetic attitude while surprising and delighting readers along the way.

“We studied feedback from readers, talked a lot with Rachael about the evolution of her brand, and followed the market, and then decided it was time for an update,” says Iannotti. “The redesign captures a more sophisticated side of Rachael without losing the fun. The look is cleaner and cooler with an Insta-intimacy that our audience looks for. It’s a bit more upscale, but not uptight.”

Rachael Ray Every Day restructured the magazine, creating four distinct departments:
•On Our Radar: A bitsy, beautiful front-of-book section full of news and trends spotted by Rachael herself and our team of in-the-know editors.
•Real Food: A series of visually distinct recipe franchises that hit the busy person’s bull’s-eye—fast, easy, fresh, and delicious.
•The Well: Where zeitgeist-y stories get the deep-dive treatment with lush, sumptuous food photography and spectacular design.
•Real Life: All about your home and the people (and animals!) who fill it—interior upgrades, DIY decorating, entertaining, family moments, and heartstring-tugging pet stories.

Fact vs. Fiction: A Few Thoughts on Magazine Media

Here’s a headline for you: Print is alive and well with consumers everywhere. I know it’s different than the headlines you’ve been seeing lately, but it happens to be a fact. True, the magazine media industry is in a transitional moment, but a few select stats can easily paint a picture that doesn’t reflect the state of our industry. At Hearst, we value our core print business, and readers do as well. The most recent report for the first half of 2017 shows that, for the industry as a whole, print circulation is consistent, and, at Hearst, it was even slightly up. What’s more, more than half of our portfolio has seen audience growth, which is especially impressive considering that many of our brands have increased the cost of their subscriptions. Magazines have successfully extended across digital platforms, and all expressions of our brands are consistent or improving in terms of audience numbers. For example, Good Housekeeping’s circulation is 4.3 million, where it has been for many years. At the same time, the brand has seen an increase in its overall audience, with robust traffic online and millions of social media followers across platforms. All boats are lifted. Print enhances digital and vice versa. Click Read More below for more of the story.

Does printing make you more productive? 79 per cent of office study survey respondents say yes

A new survey commissioned by Stora Enso on post-pandemic work and printing habits polled 3,400 workplace consumers across Sweden, UK, France, Netherlands, and Germany, on how they feel about printing and what they want from their office paper. The survey delivered some surprising insights, and some not so surprising. During 2020 and early 2021, the pandemic-driven shift to stay-at-home work naturally brought a dip in demand for office paper, with people on average printing 32 per cent more at the office than at home. Now with the economic recovery – 35 per cent of respondents having already returned to their office and a further 51 per cent expecting to return soon – the good news for the industry is that back to the office will also mean back to print. Stora Enso’s Jonathan Bakewell, VP, Head of Segment Office and Book Papers, says: “This increase in printer paper demand, marked by a return to the office, has been hoped for, but these results reaffirm it.”
