Holly Meadows, the new face of Cosmopolitan South AfricaThis week is Holly Meadows' first as editor of Cosmopolitan South Africa. She succeeds Kerrie Simon-Lawrence, who is returning to Australia. Holly Meadows Just a year ago, Meadows was promoted from deputy editor of the magazine to head of commercial content in Associated Media’s commercial hub. With her experience on the brand and as a Millennial herself, she knows what the Cosmo reader wants. “I know that she demands her editor to think, create and innovate at a dynamic pace – and I’m looking forward to taking on this challenge." "The role of a modern editor has evolved tremendously," says Kim St Clair Bodden, senior vice president and editorial director at Hearst International. "Creating engaging content is essential – but equally as important is the ability to reimagine that content and make it relevant across different platforms. Holly is innovative and imaginative, with a deep understanding of the print, digital and social environments, and we’re happy to welcome her back to Cosmopolitan South Africa." Associated Media Publishing’s CEO, Julia Raphaely, adds, "Holly is really deserving of this appointment. It has been her dream to edit Cosmopolitan, and I am sure she will flourish in this role. We are excited to see where she leads Cosmopolitan in South Africa."
Cosmopolitan is a power brand and it’s a phenomenal feeling to be a part of that. It’s sharp, smart and bold and has engaged women across the globe for over 50 years now. It exists across 79 countries, more than 30 languages and has a global reach of more than 100-million people – to give South Africa a voice amongst that platform excites me.
