Digital magazines go mainstream

ITV.com are tying up with Menzies Digital to offer digital magazines on demand.

John Menzies Digital is pleased to announce its latest partnership with ITV Consumer, to provide the ITV Digital Newsagent. The partnership gives ITV.com users access to digital versions of top UK consumer magazines to download to their computers. Titles are available to buy via the www.itv.com/digitalnewsagent site.

Caroline Knight, Commercial Partnerships Manager, itv.com says: "With a large user base, many of whom are web savvy and interested in entertainment and lifestyle based content, itv.com is ideally placed to help John Menzies Digital reach a wider audience."

The launch will be supported with an excellent introductory offer enabling consumers to try the service for free: every user will be able to download a magazine of their choice from the site simply by registering on the site. The offer is available until the 30th September 2008 or the first 10,000 downloads, whichever is the earlier.

The service will be promoted to consumers through online ads to be shown across itv.com, and in their regular email communications. With over 100 magazines currently available and a raft of new publishers expected soon, there is a wealth of both lifestyle and specialist content to complement subject areas on itv.com.

Simon Clough, Managing Director of John Menzies Digital, says: "This is a particularly exciting partnership for us, because our service is all about providing high quality content digitally, something that ITV.com have proved themselves to be at the forefront of."
