Condé Nast CEO Roger Lynch has announced the closure of health and wellness platform SELF after 47 years. SELF's health and wellness content will be integrated into other Condé Nast brands, including Allure and Glamour.
Additionally, Roger announced that Condé Nast is ceasing print publishing of WIRED in Italy. WIRED Consulting and live events will continue across Europe, primarily managed by the WIRED team in the UK.
Glamour is also affected, with a plan to wind down publishing operations in Germany, Spain and Mexico. Glamour continues to be published in Brazil, Bulgaria, Hungary, Poland, South Africa, and soon, Australia.
Roger commented "WIRED remains a strong global brand, the Italian edition has not kept pace with growth in our other markets, including the US, UK, Middle East, Japan and Mexico."
"WIRED in Italy, SELF, and the affected Glamour markets represent a little over 1% of our overall revenue. They also remain unprofitable, and continuing to operate them in their current form limits our ability to invest in the ideas and areas that will drive future growth."
"For Glamour, we will concentrate our efforts in the US and UK, where we see the strongest opportunities. As part of this new strategy, we will focus on fashion and beauty recommendations, and prioritize social, video, commerce, and licensing opportunities. To do this, our teams in those markets will be reorganized."
