CONSUMER MAGAZINE OF THE YEAR

Irish Country Magazine cleverly identified a niche in a crowded market and capitalised on it with a successful launch in 2012. The judges liked their confidence and determination in reflecting every aspect of their readers’ lives which is echoed through the magazine, from the cover interview to the social pages. Areas like food, health, interiors, enterprise and gardening take up as much space, if not more, than the traditional editorial pillars of fashion and beauty. Irish Country Magazine shows a great understanding of and engagement with their target audience and feedback from them is encouraged. Irish Country Magazine has had an impressive circulation performance from the beginning. A worthy winner.
