Media24 Women's Magazines appoints new publisher

Marí has a solid publishing background; after graduating cum laude in Journalism she honed her skills on various titles including Die Burger and Sarie and, later, contract publishing for New Media. In 2002 Marí was appointed Assistant Publisher of the Media24 Family Magazines division (Huisgenoot, You, Drum and tvplus). Her MBA graduation, cum laude, in December 2002 led to her strategic appointment as Associate Publisher of Media24 Family Magazines and Group Manager: Synergy for the Naspers Group.

"The three key titles in the Women's Magazines division have been enjoying unparalleled growth, recording their highest readership figures to date, according to the latest AMPS survey," says Media24 Magazines CEO Patricia Scholtemeyer. "Given Marí's passion and experience, this fantastic performance can only improve as she focuses on consolidating the titles' dominance in the women's glossy magazine market."
