Digiday launches Modern Retail publication

Digiday Media has launched Modern Retail to cover the evolution of the industry.

Hilary Milnes writes, “Our ultimate goal: To build a community of people obsessed with the next generation of retail, tackling it from multiple angles and bringing new observations to the conversation. So, along with our editorial coverage, Modern Retail will host industry events, including one-day forums and three-day summits, to bring together like-minded retail leaders dealing with the same daily challenges.

“Modern Retail will launch with myself and reporter Anna Hensel, and will feature regular contributions from Digiday and Glossy reporters to provide the most comprehensive perspective on what people working in and alongside retail need to know to do their jobs and stay on the cutting edge of the industry’s ongoing overhaul. A special thanks to Claudia Chow of Studio Chow, who designed the site, Peter Surrena and Aaron Gottlieb, who led product development, and Triad, our launch sponsor.

“It’s our viewpoint that retail is not dead or dying — just getting smarter. We plan to tell stories that depict that transition with differentiated analysis you won’t find elsewhere.”
