TORONTO — The Travelweek Group is pleased to announce that it has acquired Canada’s largest bridal magazine, Today’s Bride, as well as Destination Wedding magazine published by Today’s Bride, from Newcom Media Inc.
Since its inception in 1973, The Travelweek Group has focused on publications for the travel industry. Travelweek’s knowledge of the travel trade, paired with the expertise that Today’s Bride has in honeymoons and destination weddings, make for a natural fit that will benefit The Travelweek Group, its readers and its clients.
“We are very proud to have acquired Today’s Bride. It’s a beautiful and prestigious publication with an impressive track record of success,” said Travelweek’s Publisher, Devin Kinasz. “The synergies with Travelweek in regards to destination weddings, honeymoons and romance travel, plus on the warehousing and distribution side, make it a great addition to the Travelweek Group. We’re excited to build on opportunities that come our way and we are well-positioned for when travel takes off again in earnest.”
Today’s Bride, in its 43rd year of publishing, will continue to provide essential wedding information to engaged couples across Canada. The current Today’s Bride team (editorial, sales and art) will continue their work with the publications, ensuring that the transition will be seamless for readers and clients.
Amy Bielby, Editor-in-Chief of Today’s Bride, is excited about this next step. “I love weddings and working in the bridal industry. I am so happy to be able to celebrate with couples across Canada. I am looking forward to working with the Travelweek Group and can’t wait to begin work on our first issue together.”
The Travelweek Group’s goal is to maintain and over time improve the quality and distribution of Today’s Bride and Destination Wedding, ensuring engaged couples get the magazines before they start making their wedding plans. Travelweek Group will also be building upon and improving Today’s Bride’s digital products.
The Travelweek Group looks forward to working with the Today’s Bride team, readers and customers.
