who are future?Future plc is an international media group and
leading digital publisher, listed on the London Stock
Exchange (symbol: FUTR). Founded in 1985 with
one magazine, today we have operations in the
UK, US and Australia creating 200 special-interest
publications, apps, websites and events.
what we doFuture sells 2.2 million magazines each month; we
attract more than 45 million monthly unique visitors
to our websites; and we deliver over 100 digital
editions and bespoke apps on tablet. Future exports
or syndicates publications to 89 countries, making
us the UK’s number one exporter and licensor of
magazine content.
Future was named Consumer Digital Publisher of the
Year for the second year running at the Association
of Online Publishers Awards 2012.
Future is the world’s leading publisher of tablet
magazines for the iPad and iPhone, with over 70 titles
which have been downloaded over 20 million times.
The 2011 launch of Mollie Makes tapped
into a strong and growing trend for
contemporary handmade craft online.
It became Future’s fastest-growing title
ever. Our significant success with Mollie
Makes has now gone a step further with
the 2012 launch of The Simple Things,
which builds on our ability to target
an affluent female demographic. We
identified a real gap in the lifestyle
sector for women who want to embrace
a simpler way of life. Both titles are
international multimedia brands which
deliver in print, online and on the move.

the backgrounD The wave of hyper-consumerism that
propelled the U.S. economy into the first
years of the 21st century has passed.
Consumer spending patterns are
changing as part of a trend that has been
quietly gathering strength over the past
10 years. Say hello to a lifestyle more
focused on community, connection,
quality, and creativity. People are
returning to old-fashioned values to build
new lives of purpose and connection.
They also realise that how they spend
their money is a form of power, and are
moving from mindless consumption to
mindful consumption, increasingly taking
care to purchase goods and services
from sellers that meet their standards
and reflect their values..*

the branDFeaturing an inspiring blend of interiors, gardening,
cookery, lifestyle and craft, The Simple Things is

the market for a contemporary magazine appealing
to a new generation of young mindful consumers
keen to embrace a simpler way of life.
‘‘The Simple Things celebrates the things that matter most. It’s about
slowing down, enjoying what you have, making the most of where you live,
enjoying the company of friends and family and making simple food for
simple gatherings.’’

the backgRound Our research showed that out of 25
million British females over half had
participated in a craft activity in the last
12 months and that there was a strong
and growing trend for contemporary
handmade crafts. A generation of new
crafters were creating a whole new
aesthetic inspired by vintage, love of
all things handmade, and showing off
their individual style. They were crafting
socially in cafés and clubs, and sharing
their ideas globally, using the internet
as a giant poster. Mollie Makes was
launched as a completely new lifestyle
magazine for the generation who make
up the handmade revolution.
‘‘ Whatever we do, we’re living and loving handmade. We love to
make – handmade is more than just a hobby for us, it’s in everything we do. We’re forever on the lookout for
new inspiration ’’
the ReadeRship• Mollie Makes attracts a younger audience with
almost half its readers under 35
• They are also likely to work full time, own their own homes and have an above average household income of £41,000
• Our readers devote an average of 4 hours to the magazine; reading it principally for ideas and inspiration.
• Mollie Makes readers dedicate on average 9.5 hours per week to their hobby and half have attended workshops or courses
• Our readers really interact with Mollie Makes with 9 out of 10 visiting a company website and over half buying a product or service as a result of reading the magazine.
the bRandMollie Makes is a beautiful quirky lifestyle and
craft magazine that curates the best of craft
online with a look inside the homes of creative
