Following the huge success of its two lifestyle titles, The Property Magazine and Sandton magazine, Media Nova has decided to formalise its Customer Publishing Division. This decision follows hot on the heels of Media Nova being awarded the contract to publish the RCI Directory of Resorts 2009–2010.

Says Media Nova MD, Tony Vaughan: “As we already publish three customer titles, we have always understood that we can grow our current portfolio, and now that we have won another title, following a hard-fought tender process, we thought that it was time to formalise our customer publishing offering. Customer publishing demands at least the same standards of quality and journalism that a reader has come to expect from a consumer title, combined with the commercial know-how needed to keep costs under control. Too many customer titles currently published either do not meet the minimum quality standards, or do so at such a price tag they are increasingly less affordable for their customers. Our customers get excellent value for money, together with the highest of publishing standards.”

Debbie Griffiths joins Media Nova as Deputy Sales Director, to focus on growing this stable for the award-winning publishing firm. Hailing most recently from Media24, Debbie has 17 years’ experience in customer and trade publishing. Debbie will also be managing the four customer titles already published by Media Nova, namely RCI Directory of Resorts 2009–2010, RE/MAX Showcase, Greeff Outlook and Giltedge.

Another new addition to the Media Nova team is Account Executive Annelie van der Westhuizen. Annelie is also from Media24. She will also be based at Media Nova’s Sandton offices.
