Condé Nast

Condé Nast stands as a titan in the world of American publishing, tracing its roots back to 1909 when Condé Montrose Nast established the company. Today, Advance Publications owns this sprawling media empire, which operates out of One World Trade Center in Lower Manhattan. The brand has grown far beyond simple print magazines to become a dominant digital force, reaching over 72 million readers through traditional publications and engaging nearly 400 million users across digital platforms. Social media channels add another 454 million interactions monthly. The portfolio includes some of the most recognizable names in lifestyle and culture, such as Vogue, The New Yorker, GQ, and Wired. Former Vogue editor-in-chief Anna Wintour now leads creative direction as Artistic Director and Global Chief Content Officer. In 2011, the organization expanded its reach by launching Condé Nast Entertainment. This division focuses on producing film, television, and virtual reality content, bridging the gap between editorial storytelling and screen media.[edit]
