Spy, the magazine “that puts its nose in other people’s business”, launches in Italy

  • An idea of Alfonso Signorini, to be edited by Massimo Borgnis
  • A total print run of 2 million copies for the first 4 issues

On newsstands from tomorrow, Friday 23 June, Spy, a new magazine that will reveal the secrets of the Italian star system.

This new launch will expand the Mondadori Group’s portfolio of brands with a popular weekly characterised by a distinctive formula and positioning compared with what is currently on the market. Spy will be the only magazine to reveal the un-confessed and un-confessable secrets of celebrities, in a tantalising and biting style.

“The recent months have been a very exciting period for our magazines. We are the market leader, with a market share of around 32% and our portfolio of brands is continuing to expand,” declared Carlo Mandelli, the Mondadori Group’s general manager of Magazines Italy. We have launched a new magazine – Giallo Zafferano – re-launched others, alongside growth in digital where we are now Italy’s leading publisher with around 17 users per month. Spy will further extend our offer with a new product, aimed at a broad base of readers, interested, as the magazine’s claim clearly states, in “a magazine that puts its nose into other people’s business”, and discovering, in a tantalising and biting style, what goes on behind the scenes in the lives of TV personalities, the stars of TV series and the protagonists of reality and talent shows.

Spy is the result of a project that we have developed with the aim of offering, in addition to Chi – Italy’s leading people magazine –  an innovative new weekly with a strong identity, but always faithful to the editorial quality that characterises all of the Group’s brands,”  Mandelli concluded.

Spy is based on an idea by Alfonso Signorini, the editor of the weekly Chi: “Spy has a dual mission: to inform and entertain. It is a decidedly well informed magazine, thanks to an editorial team and collaborators that have spent their lives behind the scenes or working also, though not only, in the entertainment world, though not only,  and hearing, every day, news and “rumours” from the inside. The news and rumours that fill the magazine, from the first to the last page. And doing so in an entertaining way, not taking itself too seriously and not being the fountain of absolute truth, clear in the knowledge that the world is never just black and white, but an infinite range of colours,” said Signorini.

Edited by Massimo BorgnisSpy digs into the life of celebrities, revealing unexpected stories that focus on the personalities of the moment who most enthuse the Italian audience. Among the topics in the first issue: Stefano De Martino is the new sex symbol of the summer and Kate’s red light friendship that is making the Queen tremble. But also: The media war between Maria De Filippi and Stefano Gabbana and Corona is released from prison, marries Silvia Provvedi and changes his life.

In addition to the news, inside Spy, readers will find columns and features dedicated to cooking, fashion, beauty and TV programmes.

A massive launch plan has been put together to support the new magazine: for the first four weeks, Spy will have a total print run of 2 million copies, alongside a communication campaign starring Alfonso Signorini.

The TV commercial – which will be aired throughout the summer – with a surprising and ironic tone, sees Alfonso Signorini during an original “confession”, that he feels the need to reveal, in the new Spy, all of the VIPs’ most hidden secrets.

The campaign, developed by Twin Studio, is articulated across various media.

Spy will enjoy major communication support with a multi-brand approach on all media: in addition to TV (Mediaset channels), an important radio campaign (R101, Virgin, Radio Italia, 105) is planned, as well as the Mondadori Group’s print titles, and promotion at points of sale, on the web and social networks.

Digital communication is strong with a video strategy with a display campaign on Mondadori’s women’s websites with 24 million impressions and buzz marketing activities on Facebook with a number of celebrity teaser videos.

Videos, revelations, and previews will be shared on the Spy fanpage www.facebook.com/SpyMagazineIT

After the launch. at €0.50 €, the cover price of Spy will be €1.

“With Spy, Mediamond, the advertising sales company, will extend its offer also to the most popular product categories, which occupy a highly active segment,” said Davide Mondo, chief executive of Mediamond. “The market has responded very positively to the launch of Spy. The first issue has collected 54 advertising pages and we already have a great response for the 3 subsequent issues. This confirms our idea that Spy is the right product to complete our already extensive portfolio,” Mondo concluded.

Nasce Spy, il magazine che si fa i fatti degli altri

Icon: “Style Rock”, a special edition to celebrate 10 years of Virgin Radio

The new issue is on newsstands to coincide with Pitti Firenze and the men’s fashion shows in Milan

A 52-page special featuring style, music, places and stories with an entirely rock-based focus; a portrait of a giant of world cinema, Christoph Waltz; an unexpected and exclusive visit to the Vatican’s historic tailors, an exploration of the secrets and rituals of the Papal dress code. All this, and much more, in the new issue of Icon, on newsstands and in digital from 13 June, and coinciding with the 92nd edition of Pitti Immagine Uomo in Florence (June 13-16) and the fashion shows of Milano Moda Uomo (from 16 to 20 June 2017).

A special issue, during the two unmissable appointments for men’s fashion, where the Mondadori Group’s upscale men’s magazine, edited by Michele Lupi, will be among the protagonists.

STYLE ROCK – Virgin Radio’s historic pay-off is also the name of the radio’s playlist that has revolutionised Italian radio broadcasting with an unmistakable style and is now preparing to celebrate its first 10 years. But on 13 June, “Style Rock” will above all be the name of an exclusive supplement with the new issue of Icon, that as a stand-alone takes an “iconic” look at the world of rock. A world that has “influenced everything in the past 40 years, from fashion to design, to cinema and photography, as well as cars,” says Icon editor Michele Lupi, explaining the genesis of the Special Issue. “When we realised that Virgin Radio was about to celebrate its 10th anniversary, we immediately thought of a collaboration that would be good for both of us. I talked to the whole radio team, with my old friend Ringo and Paola Maugeri. It seemed clear to everyone that the combination of Icon and Virgin could be a natural evolution of a common way of interpreting style.”

“When Mondadori asked us what we thought of a new project involving our Virgin Radio brand with Icon,” said Paolo Salvaderi, chief executive of RadioMediaset, “we immediately saw an opportunity to further strengthen our leadership in the radio market through the most successful male-oreinted editorial product in the print media market. I want to thank Michele Lupi and Mondadori for having created a product that is truly consistent with our positioning, with the established quality and innovation for which Icon is known.”

The cover of the first issue of Style Rock celebrates the legendary “stud”, an element that has come in and out of fashion from the 1950s to the present day, without ever losing its somewhat fetishist appeal for entire generations dedicated to the cult of rock. Inside the magazine, an event exhibition celebrating the great years of Guns N’ Roses, the band currently on a successful and historic reunion tour. But also an exclusive interview with Paul Weller, an authentic British national institution and cross-over composer; a portrait of Thurston Moore, the “serial experimenter” far from the mainstream and historic guitarist of Sonic Youth; and a  focus on vinyl, with the most popular records and stores where to find cult classics.

The advertising sales company Mediamond has attracted a large number of companies and brands, who share the magazine’s and its readers rock spirit, and who themselves represent style icons in their respective segments, including Moto Guzzi and Woolrich. “Style Rock is an idea that we really liked from the start and on which we have worked closely with the publisher,” commented Davide Mondo, chief executive of Mediamond. “It’s a project that has enabled us to experience a happy contamination between media of great editorial consistency and to offer our customers a new and unique product. Thanks to targeted distribution, Style Rock is also perfectly in line with clients’ communication needs. Indeed, we are already working on a second issue.”

The main cover of Icon, meanwhile, features Christoph Waltz, the Austrian actor who conquered Hollywood thanks to Tarantino, with two Oscars as the best actor not in a leading role, two Golden Globes for supporting actor and two BAFTA awards, for Inglorious Basterds and Django Unchained. Inside the magazine there is also an unusual visit to three historical Roman tailors that make clerical clothes and vestments, a discovery of the key figures in the Vatican boutiques and the secrets and rituals of the papal “dress code”.

To mark the 92nd edition of Pitti Immagine Uomo, the new issue of Icon will have a special distribution on 13 June at the Central Station in Milan on the platform for the Frecciarossa trains departing for Florence, confirming the important role of events for the brand’s identity.
