Finweek offers a combination of award winning financial and business journalists, cutting-edge content from leading providers including Harvard Business Review and a blend of print and digital content that will provide a one-stop-shop for those interested in taking control of their money.
Its new positioning will see it embracing a variety of digital and mobile solutions to work alongside its well established print offering. From October, this includes an interactive website, which includes podcasts, video content, webinars and the opportunity to follow expert portfolios on www.fintalk.co.za.
"The last couple of years have been incredibly volatile for people trying to manage their money and investors at all levels are trying to be in a position where they feel like they have some control," says Finweek editor Marc Ashton.
With the global financial crisis knocking investor confidence, businesses hesitant to add jobs and a spirit of entrepreneurship hitting South Africa, the re-designed Finweek will offer more of everything.
Ashton concludes: "We won every major financial journalism award in 2011 with our coverage of investment related matters and when somebody picks up our magazine they know that they are making an investment."
The Landscape Design & Garden magazine reports achieving breakeven with its second issue, a noteworthy achievement, given the challenging economic climate and the fact that the magazine is free.
Founder and editor, Cara Smith, 34, is a landscape designer who studied Landscape Technology at the Cape Peninsula University of Technology. She decided to follow her passion and produce a magazine to bring together architects and landscape designers, as an industry and to provide exposure for their notable projects. She also wanted to offer a useful 'marketplace' forum with information on where readers could purchase unusual plant pots, stoneware, garden sculptures and other landscaping accessories.
The magazine offers visuals of gorgeous gardens, environmental articles, profiles on personalities in the industry and new products. It is presently only available at leading nurseries in the Western Cape.
