News Limited launches body+soul website to grow Australia’s largest health and wellbeing multi-media brand
body+soul, Australia’s number one health, happiness and wellbeing media brand is expanding into a fully integrated website, News Limited announced today.
The digital expansion follows the redesign of the body+soul lift-out in News Limited’s Sunday newspaper network where over the last eight years it has established itself as one of the most valued sections of Australia’s most read Sunday papers.
Complementing the body+soul weekly newspaper product, the new website provides daily access to the brand women turn to for motivation, inspiration, advice and support.
“bodyandsoul.com.au is an exciting new health and wellbeing destination, designed especially for Australian women. They are passionate about change and are seeking ways to improve their everyday lives, stress less, stay motivated and achieve their personal goals.

This initiative represents the influence and maturity of the body+soul brand and is a natural, welcome progression.”
“The body+soul newspaper lift-out launched eight years ago focusing on female readers, and now reaches 2.7 million* women every Sunday. Online we hope to reach 500,000+ women every month by the end of 2011,” says Sandra Hook, chief executive officer, News Magazines.
