The challenge

Build an independent publication with a distinct point of view and enough flexibility to evolve with culture.

The insight

A publication is not simply content. It is a system of taste, trust, distribution, community and repetition.

The idea

I developed the editorial identity, creative direction, digital experience, partnerships and long-term brand architecture around LIVID.

The result

More than a decade of issues, shoots, interviews, experiences and collaborations created across international markets growing the audience to 876K+ subscriptions. With $6.7M in revenue through brand storytelling, editorial leadership, and audience growth.
