Virgin is expanding its global empire into the world of consumer magazines – but you won’t find a print edition. Headed up by Holly Branson, 29-year-old daughter of company boss Richard, Virgin’s new title Maverick is set to make its debut on Apple’s iPad in October. Maverick will then be available on iPhone and Android devices, according to AdAge. Former FHM, Zoo and Arena editor Anthony Noguera is reportedly “on board for launch”. Editorial will be geared towards technology, film and design, its revenue coming from subscriptions, downloads and advertising, it is understood. – from Guardian
Meanwhile, Sir Richard Branson plans to kitesurf across the English Channel to mark his 60th birthday….
Sir Richard said: “Kitesurfing is one of my favourite sports. I absolutely love the amazing rush you get when going at high speeds, in high winds, with the most beautiful kite acting as your only guide.”
