Acp is promoting the launch of new title Women’s Fitness with a claimed $2m campaign.
The marketing push, which comes the day after Acp was bought by German publisher Bauer, sees activity on TV, outdoor, online, social media, experiential, radio, gyms, point of sale and across other Acp titles.
The agency behind the launch is Iris Sydney.
Acp publishing director Gerry Reynolds said in a press release that it was “the ideal time” to be launching the title “for busy women who want to look and feel their best.”
He said: “Research tells us Australian women aged 25-40 are more interested in exercise and staying fit than ever before. Their health and wellbeing is absolutely front of mind – and we know they turn to magazines as a trusted source of information and inspiration. They are very interested in self-improvement, but they are time-poor and keen to remain sociable.”

An advertising pitch to bring back Australian tourists to earthquake-ravaged Christchurch has been awarded to integrated marketing outfit Iris Sydney, Mumbrella can reveal.
The small agency came out on top of a field of 50 contenders to land what has been dubbed as “the most challenging brief of 2012″.
A new campaign, to launch later in the year, will use traditional and digital media to allow visitors and locals to share their experiences and reflect the positive changes taking place in the city, according to Christchurch and Canterbury Tourism.
It will also involve airlines and hotels and is designed to “grow with the city in the years to come.”
The idea of the campaign is to show Australians that Christchurch is re-energising following the magnitude 6.3 earthquake which shook the city in February 2011.
Tim Hunter, CEO of Christchurch and Canterbury Tourism said: “We were absolutely delighted with the response to tender. We really...
