In its first year on newsstands, The Magnolia Journal has showcased the monumental presence and impact of Chip and Joanna Gaines and their Magnolia brand. With only five quarterly issues published to date, this magazine’s launch was one of if not the best in Meredith Corporation’s 115-year history, raising its rate base to 1.2 million for the Spring 2018 issue.
Under the editorial direction of Joanna Gaines, the magazine brings the Magnolia brand—which she and her husband Chip founded in Waco, Texas—to life in print. The Magnolia Journal was named “Hottest Newcomer” on Adweek’s Annual Hot List last month and won several FOLIO awards in its premier year, including two Ozzies and an Eddie.
“We are thrilled with the success of The Magnolia Journal. Launching just over a year ago, the Magnolia brand has a tremendous presence in the marketplace to consumers and advertisers,” said Meredith’s President of the National Media Group, Jon Werther. “The Magnolia Journal is one of Meredith’s many outstanding titles, and we are looking forward to continued success in 2018.”
