Interactive Magazine Features Dynamic Content Designed to Educate, Entertain and Inspire Athletes at All Levels of Competition
Continuing the momentum created by its breakout issues, American Athlete Magazine, one of the preeminent digital sports and fitness publications, announced today that its Winter 2014 issue is here and ready for download. The newest issue (American Athlete Magazine Winter 2014) is available on iPad; it can be found in the App Store for Apple iPad and the store in Apple’s Newsstand (via iPad).
AMERICAN ATHLETE MAGAZINE’S HIGHLY ANTICIPATED WINTER 2014 ISSUE FOR IPAD ARRIVES. Interactive Magazine Features …
“The enthusiasm for our brand, content platform, and extended media has been phenomenal,” said David Fink, founder and publisher of American Athlete Magazine. “As always, we have included interviews and insights from athletes at all levels of competition for this issue. It is filled with educational features and inspirational stories, and capitalizes on the interactive platform to bring a unique and entertaining tablet/digital experience.”
American Athlete Magazine Winter 2014 issue’s cover story, “Showtime in Sochi,” examines the XXII Olympic Winter Games—the world’s largest and most-anticipated international athletic competition. American Athlete presents an introduction to the sporting events and some of the athletes who are competing, including gold medal contender snowboarder and half-pipe specialist Greg Bretz. Complementing the cover story is an extended piece, “The DNA of a Champion,” focused on Sidney Crosby, the captain of Canada’s Olympic hockey team and the Pittsburgh Penguins, who attributes his success to the right genetics, determination and grit.
The recently unveiled issue also includes the following profiles that encourage readers to pursue their own sports and fitness goals:
“Armed and Ready with JPP”: New York Giants defensive end Jason Pierre-Paul provides a glimpse into how he spends his days; his thoughts on nutrition, fitness and health; and the blood, sweat and tears that translate into his game-changing fitness abilities.
“Bodies in Motion with the Rockettes”: The trainer of the legendary Rockettes discusses how the group’s unwavering discipline keeps them in shape and on-point as they dance in unison for 45 minutes out of every 90-minute show—four times a day, seven days a week.
“Operation Fitness: Mike Torchia”: Operation Fitness owner and Elite Fitness trainer Mike Torchia talks about the importance of maintaining a healthy lifestyle and how that evolved from following his top inspiration, Jack LaLanne. He discusses the “Shape Up America” campaign, designed to motivate people across the country to increase daily physical activity and develop better eating habits.
Additional features include ‘Food For Fuel,’ nutritional tips from the L.A. Lakers head strength and conditioning coach Tim DiFrancesco; ‘More Than A Marathon,’ which shares stories of Chicago Marathon runners and their sources of inspiration; and ‘The Game Changer,’ with professional athlete and actor Mark Eisenhart, who tells readers about the key life decisions that helped him transform his very unhealthy body into one in prime physical condition.
“American Athlete Magazine transcends the traditional sports and fitness publishing model both in the content and experience we provide. Our athletes, trainers, sponsors, partners, and other participants are passionate about sports and fitness,” stated Fink. “Our magazine is geared towards addressing their needs with rich content including sports medicine, mental toughness, personal training, human interest stories, nutrition, and other takeaways that go well beyond the routine sports coverage and fitness tips offered in many current industry publications.”
American Athlete’s expansion is a direct result of its fast-growing audience, which includes its e-newsletter subscribers (who are now in the hundreds of thousands) and Facebook followers (over 11,000) who have shared images and videos of themselves sporting their American Athlete gear. The magazine has garnered ringing endorsements from leading sponsors Body Armor, Operation Fitness, SportsUp and Europa Sports.

Advances in technologies create new opportunities for consumer product development. Take a look at some of the latest products that were featured at the annual CES conference, and a sneak peak at what will be competing for your dollars and shelf space in the coming months. It will be exciting to work with some of these companies to educate, engage, motivate and sell their target audiences!
During the holidays retailers usually advertise unbeatable prices and remarkable savings- all while competing with one another to get the sale.
Being in advertising, I have always had a sweet spot for commercials. It intrigues me to see what big name brands will do to catch consumer attention. Every year retailers raise the bar and expand expectations.
This holiday season, a few brands went with humor, a few warm your heart and a few just bring good ole’ holiday cheer.
Here are a few holiday ads, that in my eyes, succeed in spreading brand awareness!
Often when a designer starts working on a concept it is just that, a concept. There is no definitive direction for the copy. We might have a headline but since we are still in the process of pitching the client on the concepts, we won’t fully flush out the body copy. How then can it be conveyed to a client that yes there will indeed be copy points to support the headline and the visual that was excruciatingly chosen specifically for that layout?
The answer is simple. Lorem Ipsum.
What is Lorem Ipsum you say? According to Wikipedia, In publishing and graphic design, lorem ipsum[1] is a placeholder text (filler text) commonly used to demonstrate the graphic elements of a document or visual presentation, such as font, typography, and layout, by removing the distraction of meaningful content. The lorem ipsum text is typically a mangled section of De finibus bonorum et malorum, a 1st-century BC Latin text by Cicero, with words altered, added, and removed that make it nonsensical and not proper Latin.[1]
Somewhere in the recess of my mind, I think I did learn that it was derived from Cicero, but that is neither here nor there. Lorem Ipsum is standard fare when it comes to design process. It gives both the client and copywriters a general idea as far as how much copy is going to be included in a piece, which is important!
A friend had posted on her Facebook page that she wanted to create a NEW Lorem Ipsum and in turn posted a link to a Lorem Ipsum generator called “Choose Your Ipsum.” (http://idsgn.dropmark.com/107) It made my heart go pitter patter. Here you can choose from such Ipsums as:
Gordon… You do like to play things pretty close to the chest.
It will be extremely painful… for you
Behind you, stands a symbol of oppression. Blackgate Prison, where a thousand men have languished under the name of this man: Harvey Dent.
And why do we fall? So we can learn to pick ourselves up.
When their enemies were at the gates the Romans would suspend democracy and appoint one man to protect the city. It wasn’t considered an honor, it was a public service.
Samuel L. Ipsum (definitely not suitable for work)
Lebowski Ipsum
Excuse me! Mark it zero. Next frame. Dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. A dick, man! And let me tell you something: I dig your work. Playing one side against the other —in bed with everybody— fabulous stuff, man. Praesent ac magna justo pellentesque ac lectus quis elit blandit fringilla a ut. This compulsive fornicator is taking my father for the proverbial ride. Turpis praesent felis ligula, malesuada suscipit malesuada non, ultrices non urna sed.
And quite possibly my favorite…
Busey Ipsum
It’s good to yell at people and tell people that you’re from Tennesee, so that way you’ll be safe. This is just common superficiality. Is thats whats so special about a woman? Superficiality with their face colors? Did you feel that? Look at me – I’m not out of breath anymore! Listen to the silence. And when the silence is deafening, you’re in the center of your own universe.
Now not every client could handle a project with Busey’isms thrown in there…. but it would make it more fun to review creative concepts. Clients beware!!!

In response to this Content Marketing article, I wanted to share my perspective on some of the topics that were debated by the panelists. At DavidHenry (marketing and media company), QUALITY will always trump quantity. To use media placement as an example, would you rather have 15 billboards in average locations for your campaign or 5 billboard locations that are excellent to reach your intended audience(s)? Content is not any different. Quality of content is essential – and your writing style, core message, communications platform, program and media should ALL reflect your brand. To the panelist who mentioned “quantity leads to quality” – I 100% disagree. Your content needs to be engaging, compelling, relevant, and most importantly in marketing – motivate someone to take action!
