Revamped Jane Magazine

Marketing Blurb does not want to give readers the wrong impression that we love only boomer women. In fact, we love twenty-something women, too! So we’re please to learn that Jane magazine announced a revamped editorial and advertising focus with features designed to “more accurately reflect the current mindset of women in their jane_magazine.jpg20s.”  The magazine originally launched nine years ago, and well, times have changed! For example, “the previous iteration of Jane celebrated the grunge lifestyle, but now the magazine has moved on.”Grunge is totally over and dead," said Vice President and Publisher Carlos Lamadrid. The current target audience is more interested in beauty and fashion.

You can expect a glitzy launch with an array of promotional efforts “including video displays at shopping malls and airport newsstands, in-store radio ads, posters on mall and telephone kiosks, podcasts, and a gala party in Milan during fashion week at the end of February.”

So if you want to reach female twenty-somethings, consider advertising in Jane magazine. (While always beautiful, she is now better dressed.) Oh, and tell her Dad says “hello.” Photo Credit: Jane Magazine

HI Rich,

I subscribe to Jane magazine and am older than 20, so if anyone does decide to advertise they should know that alot of women read Jane, not just younger women. Sounds like they have a great marketing plan going on. I am sure it will be successful.

I am fed up with the "new" Jane. I subscribe to many women's fashion and cosmetics magazines as well as others and I find that Jane has degraded to idiocy. I really hope young 20 somethings are smarter than the magazine implies. How to look like you just got some? Avril Lavigne on the cover? The attempt to talk "rad" and "hip" that just comes off as fake... Jane used to be about all women and have an edge to it. Sure, women like sex and fashion. But they also enjoy true stories (and not ones about how a woman hooked up with someone on Craigslist who then left her for her nude cleaner) and something, anything more than fluff that can be found anywhere. The ads are so overwhelming, there is very little content and what little there is, doesn't ring true. You lost the older crowd and the younger one has a hundred magazines to choose from, all of which are better written. I sure don't want to read this magazine anymore. It used to be unique. Now it's one of a hundred fluffy, presumptive magazines that talk down to its readers and assume all any woman wants is to get laid and a real rad pair of skinny jeans. Blah.
