A Magazine
A Magazine is AkzoNobel's flagship external magazine. Launched in 2008 and now published four times a year, it is sent to an influential readership in more than 100 countries. Subscriptions are available free of charge.
Somewhat unconventional for a corporate publication, the magazine deliberately pushes boundaries to provide an innovative platform for bold ideas, insightful writing and creativity. It uses stunning design and stylish visuals to promote thought leadership, discuss socially relevant issues and prompt intelligent debate.
To date, a number of renowned and respected figures have been interviewed, including Buzz Aldrin, Sebastian Coe, Ellen MacArthur, Professor Brian Cox and Lewis Hamilton.
Since being launched, A Magazine has won several major honors, including a European Excellence Award, a coveted ADC Bronze Cube, a SABRE Award Certificate of Excellence and an iF award.
A dedicated A Magazine website is launched in July 2012 and extends the thought leadership platform to reach and engage a wider audience.
