Universal Magazines, publisher of the iconic Outdoor Design Source, is proud to announce it will be taking over the publication of the Parks & Leisure Journal in 2015. The company has been commissioned by Parks & Leisure Australia (PLA) who sees the development of the journal as part of its 50-point growth plan for the next three years.
The Outdoor Design Source team is working with PLA members to raise the journal to a new level of professionalism and expand its reach to the entire Outdoor Design Source network.
“The parks and leisure field is growing and is of critical importance to users of Outdoor Design Source,” said Publishing Manager, Emil Montibeler.
“By taking on the Parks & Leisure Journal, we are able to provide our audience with a more in-depth approach to the multi-disciplinary aspects of public spaces, as well as reach a broader audience for the Parks & Leisure Journal.
“Public health and wellbeing is high on the agenda of all levels of government,” said Montibeler. “We are excited that with the PLA, we can deliver to its members, and those of affiliated disciplines, the latest news and developments within the sector.”
Expanded DistributionThe journal currently reaches members of Parks & Leisure Australia and the New Zealand Recreation Association. As of April 2015, it will be published in both print and digital formats and will be marketed to the 28,000+ Outdoor Design Source network database members. This strategy ensures the publication will cover all disciplines associated with parks and leisure development. In short, the new journal will reach “the people behind the places”.
Why Now?The parks and leisure industry is growing rapidly in Australia, primarily due to higher expectations from citizens in urban environments. This opportunity comes at a time when the PLA, as the peak body for parks and leisure professionals, is taking a proactive stance in both B2B and B2C marketing for the parks and leisure industry.
