Brand-new Hello Lifestyle Magazine breathes hope into the media sector
Hello Joburg Magazine was first published by the Spinner Family in 1980. Over the years the family grew their magazine stable to include titles such as Hello Pretoria, Hello Durban, Hello Cape Town and Leading Venues. Sadly, the business was forced to suspend all publications in 2020 due to the Covid-19 pandemic and although they were knocked down, the family is now coming back swinging.
Justyn Spinner, now Managing Director of the business is proud to announce the launch of their brand-new title, Hello Lifestyle Magazine. This bi-monthly publication will be a combination of content from across South Africa, including Joburg, Pretoria, Durban, Cape Town, and the Garden Route.
The new magazine will offer both print and digital issues that will complement each other and expand the already extensive digital and social audience of over 250,000 readers. A weekly newsletter will keep readers in the loop through authentic reviews, recommendations and exciting competitions.
Hello Travel Deals
In addition to the media business, Hello Travel Deals has also recently been launched. This online travel portal offers readers exceptional deals from across South Africa, Mauritius, Zanzibar and Seychelles.
Meet the team
While the initial team is small, it is an exciting new venture that speaks of hope in one of South Africa’s sectors that had been hit the hardest by the devastating economic effects of Covid-19 and the nationwide lockdown. The Hello Lifestyle Magazine team will consist of four permanent staff, including, Manging Director and Publisher, Justyn Spinner; Editor, Renate Engelbrecht; Features Editor and Social Media, Bianca Spinner; and Art Director, Bheka Ngubane.
“As a self-starter I am very excited about being part of the new Hello journey. It is a brand that has always shown great potential with loyal readers and clients at its core and I believe that with a professional team, quality content and a good management structure, the Hello Lifestyle Magazine can grow into an authentic voice with entertaining, interesting and trustworthy content for the discerning lifestyle reader. May it become the go-to lifestyle magazine for those who enjoy exploring our beautiful country – be it for travel, food, wine, health or art.”
