Welcome back to Making Media. Our guest today is Amy Astley, Editor-in-Chief of the iconic Architectural Digest. Now our goal with Making Media was to learn from the best across all corners of media. That's new media, that's old media, nontraditional corners of the market. And Dom and I both put Architectural Digest on that list of brands that we were very interested in learning about from day 1.
It's rare that you could find a brand like AD that has a 100-year-old history and effectively balances that rich heritage while still being the pulse of the market. And we get into a lot of that with Amy. They are very much driving design forward while still balancing that cultural cachet that they've had for a very long period of time.
And while we were impressed with Amy, prior to this conversation, we had done a lot of research, her answers in this conversation showed how much of a grasp that she has on this business when it comes to the creative side, the business side and how those two things can mesh together.
