Salary benchmarks
Our take
Condé Nast is a global media powerhouse, shaping culture through its iconic brands across print, digital, video, and social. These include Vogue, GQ, The New Yorker, Vanity Fair, and Architectural Digest and they reach audiences in more than 32 markets worldwide - the company has expanded far beyond magazines too, into entertainment, experiences, and even education.
With the decline in printed media, Condé Nast has stayed ahead by redefining what it means to be a modern publishers. Today, far more people engage with its digital and social content than its print editions, adn the company has leaned into that shift by prioritising digital storytelling, building massive online communities, and moving several titles behind paywalls to replace shrinking print advertising revenue.
Now, as the company looks towards the future, it has doubled down on growth and innovation, And in 2022, it created a dedicated strategy and corporate development role to uncover new opportunities, while heavily investing in its entertainment division. The result: a legacy media brand that's actively reinventing itself for the next era.
