“Strong brands deliver loyal and highly engaged audiences, and our best performers have retained their Top 5 positions where it really matters – in paid for circulation, devoid of any bulking up,” commented Charlene Beukes, general manager of Media24 Lifestyle.

The publisher’s flagship weeklies Huisgenoot and YOU lead the overall consumer magazine pack with total paid for circulations of 243 738 and 132 818 copies respectively, followed by Kuier (104 101) in third place, Move! (97 866) at number four and SARIE (90 935) in fifth position. In addition, two other titles from the portfolio feature on the list of Top 10 paid circulation performers; Tuis/Home (85 650) in seventh place and DRUM (82 137) in eighth.

“We are very proud of Kuier (fortnightly) cementing its position as the best-selling women’s magazine in the market overall, and SARIE the best-selling women’s glossy for the second quarter running,” said Beukes.

“Adding an equally stable total readership of 13,7 million (AMPS July 2014 to June 2015), a social media audience of close on 5,2 million across the portfolio, and mobile connectivity to our digital properties at 70%, our brands continue to offer considerable reach to audiences across the full spectrum of demographics and market segments.”
