d55 DESIGNER K&B / ISSUE 200


HOW TIMES CHANGE: TOWARDS A DIGITAL FUTURE MARTIN ALLEN-SMITH Editor, Designer Kitchen & Bathroom “Whilst this magazine remains a print publication at heart, there have been some exciting developments in the way we communicate with readers as our online presence has grown steadily over the years. As the first in the K&B sector to publish a full digital edition of the magazine each month, our readers are by now well used to the benefits of this complementary format to the print edition.

More recently, the offering has expanded to include a custom app edition of Designer. Available on the app store, this version of the magazine is specially compiled each month and includes additional content and video clips to bolster our already strong print content.


And a sign of Designer’s broader appeal can be found in the social media sphere where the magazine has built a hugely influential reach over recent years. We have over 14,000 likes on Facebook, almost 11,000 members on our LinkedIn group, and a staggering 26,000 followers on Twitter, not to mention a steadily growing follower base on Instagram and Pinterest.


But we’re far from resting on our laurels. Designer will be playing a key part in the launch and ongoing development of the new kb-eye website which will be tapping in to the steadily increasing emphasis on all things online from the most progressive brands across the industry. We look forward to playing an even more important part than ever in keeping kitchen and bathroom design professionals fully equipped with the knowledge and ideas they need to deliver the very best for their clients.”


A FORWARD-THINKING OUTLOOK JOHNNY GREY


Principal, Johnny Grey Studios “Considering the speed of change it’s great to have a reliable source of design thinking that has survived so long. What I like about being a part of the design community is an implicit belief in the future and the way ethics are embedded into our mentality. When you design something it’s not for now – we rightly get judged by its emotional and practical durability. And it’s such a fascinating area of life to operate in.


“We need to keep on our toes to source the information to survive and innovate. These are challenges that Designer magazine helps us meet and has met itself.”
