How women's magazines innovate
Innovation takes many forms. ForThe Netherlands's Libelle, innovation saved the 84-year-old brand as it encountered declining newsstand sales and subscriptions. For eleven of CNI's Vogues, innovative approaches to Instagram increased engagement and followers. For ALT.dk in Denmark, innovation meant turning Egmont Publishing's eight women's magazines into a one-stop digital destination for women. And, at Immediate Media's Olive magazine, innovation helped transform the small but mighty 15-year-old publication into a multi-platform brand. Each of these magazine media outlined their innovative approaches at the Digital Innovator’s Summit in Berlin.
