Digital developments are at the fore, and this year there is a major focus on how advertisers and media owners are breaking new ground together, including the emergence of ‘sapplets’ or social applets. And a whole section is devoted to great ideas that engage the reader with the product including: an ad from BBR Saatchi & Saatchi that changes on a page, driven by solar power for Israeli energy company Shikun & Ninui Solaria, a Carlsberg ad that works as a bottle opener, whispering audio chips in Playboy covers, a ‘self-drive’ ad for Volkswagen plus a Cannes award-winning ‘talking dictator’ ad using QR codes for Reporters Without Borders.

 

 

Other chapters investigate:

Person of the year: Hearst Magazines' president, David Carey

Watermarking: The new QR codes?

Augmented reality, really taking off, and not in a gimmicky way

Chris Llewellyn, FIPP president and CEO, said: “Rapid technological development and an uncertain economic background are the driving forces behind the huge amount of experimentation being undertaken by magazine media companies. Encouragingly, print still retains the ability to surprise and innovate.”

 

Juan Senor, John Wilpers and Juan Antonio Giner, Innovations editors said: “We are really excited about the 2012 edition of Innovations in Magazine Media because we are exploring innovations in magazine advertising for the first time, as well as tackling some tough topics like ad walls, unbundling, watermarks, and integration. There are pieces about tablets, social media, user-generated content, newsweeklies, and more. At the same time, we're having fun with the annual search for the odd and bizarre, turning up this year the magazine as theatre and the largest, most expensive, and most useless magazines. Always fun.”

 

 

The PrintCity Alliance was responsible for producing the innovative cover using a special hybrid coating effect to make it even more eye-catching.

Cover paper: UPM Finesse

Simon Carrington, Publisher of Top Gear Magazine, said: “We are really delighted that our work with Aurasma has been recognised by both the judges and the audience at the Digital Innovators’ Summit. Augmented reality has allowed us to add value to our readers experience by giving them the opportunity to watch and listen to some of the world’s most amazing cars in action on the track. And judging by the tens of thousands of views to date, they are enjoying watching.”

Today, EL COLOMBIANO, one of Latin America's leading family-owned quality regional newspaper, celebrates its 100th anniversary with a complete re-launch that includes radical and innovative changes which include: a new format -from standard to Berliner-; new full colour state-of-the-art printing presses; and a new design formula 100% produced and implemented by an innovative in-house ECOlab, led by Martha Ortiz.

 

 

Its editor, Ana Mercedes Gómez, and General Manager Luis Miguel de Bedout, have been the forces behind this dramatic change in a country where media business are booming.

 

INNOVATION's Chairman, Carlos Soria, and INNOVATION consultants, Marta Botero and Antonio Martín, were in Medellin helping during the launch.

 

INNOVATION was asked to re-invent the content model and the newsroom management model, including the concept for a new open-space -integrated and multimedia newsroom- a project in progress, based on the ideas of our Calau&Riera media architects.

 

Besides, INNOVATION is working with the board of directors of EL COLOMBIANO in the new multimedia strategy and corporate governance one the group.

 

INNOVATION's Director Carlo Campos is leading the project and more than a dozen of INNOVATION consultants are involved in this work.

 

The first issue of the new paper includes an original of the most famous Colombian artist, Fernando Botero: a painting done on a front page of the old paper.

 

(In the pictures, the new front page, an inside double-spread and the ECOLab team celebrating the launch of the new EL COLOMBIANO).
