12 Magazine Media Brands from Active Interest Media Run Print and Digital Ads
in Fall Issues and Continue through March 2018
Boulder, CO (October 6, 2017) – Active Interest Media today announced its participation in the industry-wide advertising campaign “Magazine Media. Better. Believe it.” spearheaded by MPA– The Association of Magazine Media. The campaign debuted this week in the fall issues of 12 brands in Active Interest Media’s portfolio, including Backpacker, Yoga Journal, Climbing, Power & Motoryacht, Equus, and more, and is slated to run through March 2018 in both print and digital. Active Interest Media is one of 30 companies participating in the campaign, reaching an estimated 75% of U.S. adults.
The central theme of the campaign addresses magazine media’s unmatched ability to offer highly researched and fact-checked content. According to Simmons Research’s Multi-Media Engagement Study, magazine media is more trusted, inspiring and motivating than other media. In light of the recent influx of unreliable resources and unsubstantiated claims, the campaign will pose a series of topical questions:
– Are all experts worth believing?
– Can you believe what you read?
– Is every real-time story real?
– Been fooled by fake content?
– Do you steer clear of bad car advice?
– Hungry for food tips you can trust?
– Sick of phony health experts?
– Can sharing beauty tips get ugly?
Magazine media on all platforms cuts through the clutter, the noise, the bad and untrustworthy advice, says the MPA campaign. “In a time when credible journalism is competing with fake news, magazine brands deliver content that’s more trusted, inspiring and motivating, with a depth of accredited, audited measurements unlike any other.”
