NEW YORK, Dec. 4, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Meredith Corporation
(NYSE: MDP; meredith.com)– the leading media and marketing
company with national brands serving more than 110 million American
women—including 70 percent of all U.S. female Millennials—is
pleased to announce that Martha Stewart Living has been
named to Ad Age's Magazines of the Year list.
Led by Editor-in-Chief Elizabeth
Graves and VP/Group Publisher Daren
Mazzucca, Martha Stewart Living has had a phenomenal
year with both readers and advertisers. The brand debuted a
magazine redesign with the October issue, revealing exclusive
typography, fresh and enlarged imagery, and a number of new
cross-platform franchises. The look is now modern and
forward-thinking, yet still timeless, classic and always aiming to
create trends rather than follow them. It's the Martha Stewart
Living that millions of people love, but now even more.
"It's truly an honor to be part of Ad Age's 'Magazines of
the Year' list," says Graves. "It's exciting to build upon Martha's
trusted expertise, take the brand to new heights, and have that
recognized in the industry." Adds Mazzucca, "We have an incredible
team, and I think we are only getting started."
In addition to this Ad Age honor, the brand has received
several prestigious accolades in 2017. Last month, Founder and
Chief Creative Officer, Martha
Stewart, was named Adweek's "Media Visionary" on
their annual "Hot List" in publishing. In April, the brand was
honored with a James Beard Media Award for its online video series,
"Kitchen Conundrums." And heading into its 27th year, Martha
Stewart Living continues to build both its audience and revenue
under the leadership of Graves, Mazzucca, and Stewart.
"We are thrilled that Martha Stewart Living has been named
to Ad Age's 'Magazines of the Year' List. It has been a
record-breaking year for Meredith, and this brand has had
tremendous success due to the diligent work of their editorial and
advertising teams," says Meredith's President of the National Media
Group, Jon Werther. "We are looking
forward to continued success in 2018 from Martha Stewart
Living."
The brand is one among Meredith Corporation's large
portfolio of successful print and digital brands. For more
