Estate Living Magazine Alfresco Living - Issue 36 December 2018 | Página 4

From the team ESTATE LIVING Founder/CEO Jaimé-Lee Gardner COO/Publisher Louise Martin Editor Jennifer Stern Golf editor John Cockayne Senior subeditor Thea Grobbelaar Creative Peter Batistich Contributors Helen Grange Zeenat Moosa Hassan December is generally a time to stop and take stock of the year, and we are delighted to say that we can look back on some phenomenal successes achieved over the last 12 months. We kicked off 2018 by launching our website in February, and bringing in some talented tech pros to help us optimise our content and reach. In April, we welcomed a new investor, to assist us in developing our resources to provide even stronger content and distribution. Kudos to our editorial team, who are predicting the trends in the market and producing relevant content for our now weekly mailers, online blogs and monthly Estate Living magazine. We launched the lead generation and management service, to deliver exciting and profitable opportunities to our constantly growing network, and the Estate Living social media following has increased exponentially, including the addition of our Facebook Live and YouTube channel interviews. To top it all, we were invited to chat about all things Estate Living on the #RealEstate show that aired on Business Day TV in November. We loved every minute of our first proper television show experience, and have our hearts and minds set on more of the same in 2019. Between December and January, we will put the finishing touches to the updated and upgraded Estate Living website, and our new app offering will go live to 127,000 users on 1 February.

See you in 2019.
