Joe Mansueto, who bought Inc. and Fast Company two years ago, has been happy with their performance.
“To strengthen, the Inc. brand, Mansueto invested in better-quality paper stock and increased edit pages 20 percent. He also increased the editorial staff, hiring away Real Simple editor Jane Berentson.
“At Fast Company, Mansueto implemented a more ‘visually exciting’ design featuring a prominent person on every cover. He also transformed the print-heavy brand into a multi-platformed brand focusing on online, events, as well as franchise print issues. ‘Mansueto is a world-class publisher,’ Mansueto said. ‘We don’t want to be the kind of company that wants to ratchet down costs. We cover progressive companies and we need to practice what we preach.’
“The efforts have paid off. Inc. is the number one business publication and newsstand sales are up 47 percent and Fast Company is the number three business publication with newsstand sales are up 37 percent. Combined Web traffic for the magazines grew 50 percent last year and is expected to grow at least 20 percent this year, Mansueto said. Unique visitors for the sites are up 159 percent.”
