Domino (magazine)
History
Launched by Condé Nast in Spring of 2005, Domino is a style magazine centered on the home. In its first year, Domino was honored by The Hot List Startup of the Year by AdWeek, Top Launch of the Year by Media Industry Newsletter and The A-List 10 under 50 by Advertising Age. In its third year, the magazine grew to a rate base of 800,000 and received two National Magazine Award nominations from the American Society of Magazine Editors (ASME). In October 2008, domino released its first book, Domino: the Book of Decorating, published by Simon & Schuster.
On January 28, 2009, Condé Nast announced that it would cease publication of Domino and its website.[1] In its closing web comments, the editors reported that in a down economy advertising revenues couldn't keep up with expenses.
After a hiatus of four years, domino was relaunched in 2013 by the Domino Media Group.[2] The return of the magazine was accompanied by a new website http://domino.com/ with the stated purpose of "bringing content, community and commerce together."
The Domino Media Group is owned by Condé Nast, private investors, and three co-founders: Andy Appelbaum, Cliff Sirlin, and Aaron Wallace.[3]
