New health, wellness mags launched

"A herbal wellness guide with relevant and entertaining content is the perfect way to extend the Radox journey to herbal wellbeing throughout 2010. This booklet delivers an effective solution to communicating our brand promise," comments Radox brand manager Vicky White.

New Media (NMP) will produce the 32-page booklet on behalf of Sara Lee's Radox brand aiming to drive consumer engagement and promote wellness among the brand's loyal followers. The A5 glossy guide, with a print run of 250 000, plans to take a holistic approach to wellbeing by offering ways to achieve balance and inspire small changes in readers' busy lives. Freelance magazine journalist Biddi Rorke will edit the guide.
