Jill Manoff has been named editor in chief of Modern Retail.
A story on its website states, “Building on her success as longtime editor-in-chief of Glossy, a Digiday Media brand covering the business of beauty, wellness, fashion and luxury, Manoff will now also serve as editor-in-chief of Modern Retail. She will oversee the publication’s editorial operations and drive the editorial vision for the Modern Retail Marketing Summit in April while continuing to lead Glossy.
“‘Retail no longer has a winning playbook. As brands and retailers navigate the rapidly evolving landscape, they’re carving out original combinations of strategies as they continue to learn from the best,’ said Manoff. ‘Through new editorial series and member products, Modern Retail will offer more access to the operational processes, marketing tactics, sales strategies and leaders proving successful, while providing the honesty and in-depth analysis its readers have come to expect.”
“Manoff’s 20-year reporting and editing career spans consumer publications, retail giants’ marketing divisions and eight years at the helm of Glossy, where she and her team have guided brands through pandemic challenges, supply chain obstacles, the rise of TikTok and fall of the pure-play DTC business model. She will take on the role as Modern Retail’s previous editor-in-chief, Cale Weissman, moves on to other opportunities.”
