The Atlantic to Rebrand for the Digital Age

In its push to become more modern, digital-friendly—and finally profitable—the 150-year-old Atlantic has hired an integrated marketing agency to handle its rebranding.

“The overall effort is to make the Atlantic more contemporary,” Justin Smith, Atlantic Media’s president of consumer media tells FOLIO:. “It’s not an overhaul as much as a refinement—we’re a completely multiplatform business now.” To illustrate his point, Smith says the Atlantic’s digital audience is larger than its print audience—and it’s growing.

New York-based Euro RSCG Worldwide will oversee the rebranding project—part of an overall retooling that includes a redesign of its print magazine (by renowned design firm Pentagram) and relaunch of its Web site (by New York-based digital shop Bond Art and Science).
