“We sell a magazine every second in Australia, right now,” Are Media’s CEO, Jane Huxley said during Mumbrella’s Publish conference on Wednesday. “That’s not a sign of a business that’s slowing down anytime soon. If we were selling a magazine every ten minutes, yeah we may say yeah, this is something to start thinking about, but we are selling an extraordinary amount of magazines.”

Are Media is Australia’s largest content company for women, according to Roy Morgan, and reaches nine in ten women every year through its portfolio of brands including The Australian Women’s Weekly, marie claire, Gourmet Traveller, Better Homes & Gardens, Woman’s Day, Country Style, beautyheaven and bounty.
