On the heels of recent layoffs at Conde Nast and the shuttering of Details magazine, things seem to booming over at Hearst media. As unusual as this may sound for this print publishing giant, it is actually factual.
For the sixth consecutive year, advertising sales have been up at Marie Claire. And both Elle and Marie Claire will increase their advertising pages in March of 2016 with Marie Claire seeing a boost of 15 percent.
“2015 was a record-breaking year for our fashion/luxury brands—ELLE, Harper’s BAZAAR, Marie Claire, and Town & Country—and we see that trend continuing. We’re investing in our print products in that space, increasing size to give readers a more engaging experience and marketers a truly luxe environment. Our mission is to continually innovate, and Marie Claire is a perfect example of that. The magazine has developed so many creative, attention-getting covers this year, which will now have even more impact,” Michael Clinton, Hearst president of marketing and publishing director, told fashionnewsdaily.com.
