Cosmopolitan Australia magazine is making a comeback to the New Zealand market this month after a pause of almost six years.
The bi-monthly magazine will hit Kiwi news-stands on Monday 24 February, bringing with it a vibrant blend of engaging content spanning style, beauty, technology, relationships, entertainment, and career and financial advice.
The relaunch is led by Australian publisher Katarina Kroslakova’s publishing house, KK Press in collaboration with Hearst Magazines International.
Having relaunched Cosmopolitan Australia in August 2024, Kroslakova acknowledges the challenges facing the New Zealand media sector.
“Cosmopolitan Australia has long established ties with New Zealand and is a brand that elicits a strong connection with its readers. The relaunch comes at a significant time for the local media landscape and we’re confident Kiwi women will welcome the return of this much-missed confidante, just like their Australian counterparts.”
New Zealanders are also front and centre of the launch issue, with editorial content highlighting some thriving Kiwi beauty brands, Profile on Designer and Creative Director, Wynn Crawshaw and Spotlight on Queenstown.
With a mission of embracing, celebrating, and empowering women from both sides of the ditch, Cosmopolitan Australia has already invigorated the women’s lifestyle publication landscape in Australia and is set to do the same in New Zealand.
“Cosmopolitan Australia’s vision is clear: to uplift, empower, and champion women while having an absolute blast doing it. We’re dedicated to delivering thought-provoking, insightful journalism and entertainment that resonates with young women acrossNew Zealand and Australia”, says Kroslakova.
“The relaunch of Cosmopolitan Australia in New Zealand marks an exciting next step for this iconic brand, while reinforcing our commitment to delivering culturally relevant content to audiences around the globe,” said Kim St. Clair Bodden, senior vice president of editorial and brand director of Hearst Magazines International.
Cosmopolitan Australia will publish six print issues annually with digital assets utilising online and social media to provide a comprehensive, omni channel brand experience.
