The Wall Street Journal has recruited Nina Lawrence, publisher of Conde Nast’s W fashion magazine, as VP-global marketing & advertising sales, responsible for development for print/ digital platforms and events.
Lawrence, a 15-year veteran of CN, took the W post in 2005. Earlier, she was VP/publisher of CN’s bridal group, and publisher of Brides and Mademoiselle. Lawrence also worked for Disney Adventures and Discover Magazine.
Michael Rooney, WSJ’s chief revenue officer, said in a statement that Lawrence’s experience and track record will benefit advertisers as they “seek to further distinguish themselves with our high-quality, discerning audience.”
The WSJ today unveiled a new luxury real estate stand-alone section called “Mansion,” which it bills as a “home of both aspiration and real estate.”
The debut issue’s front-page feature covers the Winston-Salem and Harlem homes of poet Maya Angelou.
There’s also reports on tech titans scooping up beachfront properties in Los Angeles, transformation of a London lunatic asylum into an apartment complex favored by pop stars and soccer players and William Shatner’s musings about a crumbling home that he bought in Hastings-on-Hudson while a struggling actor during the 1950s. |
