As part of a multi-year partnership, AccorHotels, a world-leading travel and lifestyle group, is entrusting legacy fashion and luxury lifestyle media brand, L'Officiel, with the content creation and management of the magazines for four of AccorHotels' internationally renowned luxury and premium hotel brands. Beginning today, L'Officiel Voyage International, a luxury travel brand of Jalou Media Group, will work in partnership with AccorHotels to create print publications as well as digital assets for use online and in social media for Raffles, Fairmont, Sofitel and Pullman hotel brands. AccorHotels and L'Officiel Voyage International will also partner to produce the MGallery brand's unique publication that serves as both a magazine and presentation of the MGallery hotel collection.
L'Officiel Voyage International and AccorHotels will together be reimagining the current publications for Raffles, Fairmont and Pullman, as well as launching the first magazine for the Sofitel brand. L'Officiel Voyage International will now be entrusted with creative conception, editorial production, advertising sales, printing and distribution for each title. Each title will be assigned to an editorial team, responsible for creating original content in tune with each hotel brand's identity, as well as a sales and an audience team, tasked with growing each publication's advertising revenue and online presence. Each title will be released on a semiannual basis, with the exception of MGallery, which will have an annual edition. The first issues will be released in the Spring of 2019 and will be distributed internationally in each of the rooms of each hotel brand.
"We are very proud of this collaboration and the trust given to L'Officiel Voyage International by AccorHotels, one of the world's leading hotel groups," said Benjamin Eymere, CEO of Jalou Media Group and publisher of L'Officiel Voyage International. "We are pleased that AccorHotels recognizes the editorial voice of our brand and our expertise in the luxury and lifestyle space, and we're thrilled to be able to collaborate with AccorHotels to curate the best quality content for their guests."
"We are very pleased to work with Jalou Media Group on AccorHotel's luxury and premium brand magazines. Jalou's expertise in journalism in the luxury sector, combined with its international presence and capacity for innovation, will contribute to strengthening our content approach and delivering the highest quality content to our guests and clients." Chris Cahill, Deputy CEO AccorHotels and CEO Luxury and Premium Brands.
L'Officiel Voyage International is a brand of Jalou Media Group, which also publishes L'Officiel, L'Officiel Hommes, L'Officiel Art International and Jalouse. The semiannual publication distributes over 120,000 copies in Europe, the United States and Asia. L'Officiel Voyage International is launching a dedicated digital channel on the platform lofficiel.com in the Spring of 2019. This platform will be produced with the international network (400 contributors) of Jalou Media Group.
The partnership agreement with AccorHotels will further allow L'Officiel to grow its global advertising offerings in the travel space by adding a new audience, via AccorHotels' publications, to L'Officiel's existing 5 million unique visitors / readers per month worldwide.
