The Property Magazine, Woman & Home, Cape ETC… and a PICA!
Features Editor of Woman & Home, Sharon Preston will be taking over the reins as Editor of Media Nova’s flagship consumer title, The Property Magazine from December. Adding to the winning formula and also joining the editorial team as Cape Town Bureau Chief is Tamryn Bekker, formerly Editor of Cape ETC and recently back in South Africa from a stint in New York with Conde Nast Publications. And in a final scoop after a busy week at the Media Nova camp, The Property Magazine brought home a PICA, winning the category Largely Free Distribution – Consumer magazines.
Previously Features Editor for Woman & Home Magazine, Sharon started her career in publishing as a Features Writer for one of South Africa’s iconic titles, Style magazine, in 1980.
After a hugely successful year that saw The Property Magazine increase its audited AMPS readership by 28% to 419 000, win the South African Property Owners Association (SAPOA) Property Magazine of the Year Award and the PICA last week, its current editor, Ann Ellis Brown, will be stepping down for personal reasons.
Tony Vaughan, Managing Director of Media Nova, publishers of The Property Magazine said, “Ann has been a breath of fresh air for us and whilst we are sorry to say goodbye we are really excited to appoint Sharon and Tamryn to the editorial team. Publishing three regional editions of the magazine has brought us some interesting editorial challenges over the years. In appointing a Gauteng based editor we made a strategic decision to fully exploit the true regional editorial potential of the magazine from a different perspective than in the past. Adding Tamryn to the mix together with Anne Schauffer, our long term KZN Bureau Chief, makes for a really exciting team as we approach our 5th anniversary edition early next year.”
“I have absolutely loved working on The Property Magazine,” says Ann Ellis Brown, “but I know I’m leaving it in safe hands. The two new appointments will definitely take the magazine to the next level.”
The Property Magazine wins SAPOA Journalism Award
At the 40th annual SAPOA Convention held in Cape Town this year, The Property Magazine won the coveted Publication of the Year Award. This was the first time that The Property Magazine had been considered for the SAPOA awards.
“We are so proud to have been named Best Property Publication. This award from SAPOA means an enormous amount, considering the competition we were up against,” says editor, Ann Ellis Brown. “I’d like to thank the team at Media Nova who works so hard to produce this magazine and all those who’ve added their voices and talents to our mix. These are interesting times for the industry and we look forward to continuing to produce an informative and entertaining publication that celebrates the people, places and perspectives of South African property.”
It’s been four years since The Property Magazine first embraced the Western Cape, with Gauteng and Kwazulu-Natal issues hot on its heels. Now on a national audited circulation of 108 000 copies per month and with an audited readership of 326 000, The Property Magazine is no stranger to awards, having won a 2007 PICA Award in the leisure category. The Property Magazine website is also gaining huge momentum having recently launched its rentals section and innovative digital magazine technology.
“It is a tremendous honour to win this award from SAPOA and to complete the double in being formally recognised by our peers in the publishing world with 2 pica awards and now from the very industry that inspired us to create the title in the first place. Niche titles are the future of publishing worldwide, for the increasingly busy consumer who wants to focus specifically in their area of interest and also for the advertisers who want to ensure that their brand cost effectively reaches their desired market.” says Tony Vaughan, Managing Director of Media Nova, publishers of The Property Magazine.
