Award-winning publisher Grin Creative has appointed editor and travel writer Kirstie Bedford to edit its newest luxury travel title.
Titled 'Luxury Escapes', the consumer facing glossy print magazine will be launched in partnership with Luxury Escapes.
It will have an initial circulation of 20,000 copies, and will be distributed via newsstands, sit in all business class lounges, and sent directly to Luxury Escapes' hotel partners and high-spending platinum members.
The magazine is an expansion of Grin's already well-established publishing arm, which includes National Geographic Traveller and get lost magazine.
Grin has a decade of experience in content solutions for travel clients including Tourism Fiji, Oman Tourism, Papua New Guinea, Latam and South African Airways and TFE hotels.
Publisher and director Justin Jamieson says Bedford's appointment was due to her proven skills, expansive experience, and passion for the industry.
Bedford was previously editor of self-drive tourism titles Caravan World and The Wanderer magazine, and early this year launched a mini-mag for the regional tourism market. Over the past two decades she has worked in communication management positions in the travel sector, spent more than a decade as a freelance travel writer across print and magazines, and has worked as a broadcast travel editor.
The inaugural publication will be launched nationwide in November.
