A significant re-launch of the brand is scheduled for the second quarter of 2015, with interactive digital editions and a social media presence that will mark a major shift in Hello!’s presence in the GCC.
“We are very excited at the re-launch and APP’s plan to launch two new premium monthly titles – Hello! Arabia and Hello! Bollywood – targeting educated, affluent and discerning women,” says Anthony Luke, licensed editions operations manager, Hello! ”This will extend our global reach to 33 editions worldwide.”
Ali Akawi, APP’s managing director adds, “Taking over Hello! in the Middle East will offer an exciting opportunity to expand APP’s impressive portfolio of luxury publications.

The three editions of Hello! will make all of that – and more – possible, which is exciting for readers and advertisers alike.”
