Former Condé Nast Traveller editors Issy von Simson and Fiona Kerr have announced the launch of their new UK travel platform Tootle.

Tootle reflects how a lot of readers want to travel - away from the crowds, jumping in the car or on a train rather than a plane, taking it slow (often with kids in tow), finding places with a good story and some soul that makes hearts beat a bit faster. Tootle’s content digs deep into the UK scene, sniffing out what’s going on around us and looking at it through a particular editorial filter.

Tootle also translates decades of journalistic experience to its storytelling-led content studio. The team has crafted words, brand identities and created print and digital projects for clients including Mandarin Oriental, Oetker Hotels, Michelin, Aethos Hotels, Royal Mansour, Expedia, The Great Bustard and JW Marriott/Economist Impact.
