  • Hello and welcome to the Stack.

  • One thing I can tell you about this week's show is that it's full of friendly faces.

  • From Mac Coach's Jeremy Leslie telling us about his upcoming event in New York, to creative director Veronica Ditting on a retrospective of her work at DDD Gallery in Kyoto.

  • And finally, it's Wimbledon time.

  • So of course we have the thing of Racket magazine here.

  • Enjoy the show.

  • From Midori Housing London, this is the stack.

  • 30 minutes of print industry analysis and I am Fernando Gustoba to start the show.

  • It is always a pleasure to welcome the founder of Wrecked magazine, Kaitlyn Thompson, together with her managing partner, Steph Jung.

  • Wreck it always goes big on Wimbledon, and the new Refreshed issue is a delight.

  • I can describe it as cheeky and also attention to all the fans of Wimbledon, the movie.

  • There's an oral history of the film in the new issue.

  • But let's hear now from Caitlin and Steph telling me all the delights of Racket issue 24 and about the success of the brand media.

  • It's a farm to table process.

  • Even when you're aspiring to win the world over, as is Racket, I think sometimes you need to take a second understand, calibrate where you are in the brand growth.

  • And I realized it was actually through a conversation with a gentleman who runs Front Office Sports, who's just brilliant and a startup guy, and we were having a conversation about where our brands were at the moment, our journalistic entities, but also the larger brand footprint.

  • And he said, you know, I've been doing this for about 10 years.

  • It's been a brand for about 10 years, but it's really only been a business for about five.

  • And that really struck with me because I thought, huh, Racket is now in its ninth year.

  • I'm so proud of it.
