THE MONEY DIFFERENCE

MONEY HELPING AMERICANS

“TAKE CHARGE” MONEY is committed to helping

readers take charge of their finances. MONEY focuses on what matters most to affluent Americans— their family, their future, their quality of life—by providing trusted advice to help them successfully earn, plan, invest and spend.

The personal finance magazine, taken over by Dow Jones in Feb 2010, was redesigned in Feb 2011 to adopt the following regular editorial sections: Invest, Pick, Plan, Spend – three of which have been present in MONEY since its redesign in April 2005.

SMARTMONEY “REINVENTING” WHAT MONEY ALREADY DOES

KIPLINGER’S DO-IT-YOURSELF

PERSONAL FINANCE Kiplinger’s is a family-owned personal finance magazine for readers personally involved in making their own financial decisions.

•  MONEY’s audience and circulation is more than SmartMoney & Kiplinger’s combined

•  SmartMoney’s newsstand sales dropped in 2H of 2010 while MONEY’s N/S increased. ― MONEY’s N/S is more than

2x that of SmartMoney

•  Kiplinger’s dropped its rate base of 800,000 to 600,000 in 2010 ― MONEY’s rate base is 3x

that of Kiplinger’s

•  MONEY’s rate base will remain intact for 2012 with likely reduction in 2013

Prospective Advertisers Respond Positively •  “The health research and story is a compelling one. I will make sure

that PHD issues you an RFP and takes a harder look at MONEY for our brands in 2012.” –Kevin Holowicki, Director Media Strategy, GlaxoSmithKline

•  “I would have never considered MONEY for Novartis before this meeting. That will change as we begin to plan 2012.” – Kathy Ehresman, Associate Media Director, GroupM

MONEY’s Health Content Resonates With Readers “I applaud MONEY for including health and wellness issues in a magazine devoted to finances. With obesity and its associated costs a growing problem, more Americans need to realize that the best investment they can make is in their own good health.”

— MONEY Reader, Ed Boullianne, Alexandria, VA

2012 DEVELOPMENT OPPORTUNITIES

3. MONEY MAGAZINE APP In order to protect the print franchise – and serve a growing advertising marketplace request – developing a MONEY magazine app would make sense strategically. Advertiser interest: Fidelity, TD Ameritrade, USAA From a consumer standpoint, 78% of respondents under the age of 50 expressed interest in trying a MONEY magazine app.

Note: All opportunities are subject to change and final editorial approval. 22

2. MONEY YOUTH APP A tablet app targeted to recent college grads could be a powerful way to build brand recognition and loyalty among a younger demographic. Focus would be either money management for 20-somethings or a financial-based game that could also tie into the educational market. Sponsor prospects: Verizon Wireless, AT&T, Citibank, BAC, Chase

1. MONEY COLLEGE Research indicates that MONEY has tremendous brand equity in the college savings/funding space. 42% of respondents – No. 1 of 10 financial media brands – said they would seriously consider using a college planning Website from MONEY.

The goal is to create a dedicated MONEY College web presence and augment it with stand-alone print offerings plus in-magazine features.
