Meredith, the publisher of Better Homes and Gardens and Ladies’ Home Journal, is buying out ReadyMade, a “sort of younger, hipper Martha Stewart brand”, based in Berkeley, CA. The ReadyMade magazine and site targets men and women in their 20s and 30s who are interested in do-it-yourself projects around the home. Terms of the deal were not disclosed.
AdAge: Meredith said it plans to increase the magazine’s circulation to 200,000 within a few months. But the main allure for its new owner may be the magazine’s reach among younger adults, which are both desirable to advertisers and not necessarily Meredith’s strongest suit.
