News Corp Launches New Look Escape This Sunday

Australia’s leading travel media brand, ESCAPE, will this week launch a new insert magazine format featuring new content and a new look design with a trimmed and stapled finish, to create the most premium weekly travel product in Australia.

The new look ESCAPE debuts on Sunday, 16 April in The Sunday Telegraph (NSW), Sunday Herald Sun (VIC), The Sunday Mail (QLD) and The Sunday Mail (SA). Eight bumper themed issues will also be produced annually with the first of the special editions being published in May and dedicated to North America.

Managing Director, Food, Travel and Health Fiona Nilsson said this weekend the company was launching the next evolution of the ESCAPE brand to become a premier destination in the Sunday papers.“Moving from a lift-out to our new insert format, ESCAPE features a refreshed design, additional content, new pages and layouts, and a more evocative use of imagery, all designed to inspire travellers,” Nilsson said.

“Our commitment to continuous improvement will see ESCAPE content expanded in the state-based Saturday magazines nationally focused on touring and cruising. As the demand for travel content continues to grow we are also building out our digital offering with even more content to give ESCAPE’s highly engaged digital audience of 2.179 million* as much information as possible to make informed and inspired holiday choices.”

Each issue of the new ESCAPE will include increased editorial content with new features such as:

Why I travel – Jetsetters, cruisers, experts and celebrities reveal their reasons for exploring the world
Twin share – Two travel companions – spouses, parent and child, siblings, friends, business partners and more – reminisce on their adventures together
The Social Circle – Influencers share their favourite holiday snaps and memories
Hour by hour – A curated guide to navigating a city in one to three days
Pack it – Reviews and recommendations for the best travel tech and gadgets
New monthly columns devoted to sustainability, pets, family, music and more
Plus, more news, more cruising, more opinion and advice, and an expanded deals section.

General Manager Travel Industry Product and Partnerships Liz Glover said: “As the leading travel brand in Australia, the ESCAPE team is always looking at ways to deliver a better experience, for both our readers and our commercial partners. The product enhancements and increased pagination launching this week have been developed to meet these needs with more expert content as travel rebounds.

“ESCAPE will be the ultimate destination for Australians who are more eager than ever to travel, and whether they are booking now or planning their next holiday, this new look will create the most premium weekly travel product in Australia.”

The new look ESCAPE will be supported by a content-led consumer marketing campaign launching this weekend across print, radio and subscription TV.
