Redesign[edit]
In early 2010, the magazine title was restyled Bloomberg Businessweek (with a lowercase "w") as part of a redesign. During the following years, the bold, eclectic, playful, and memetic face of Businessweek was cultivated largely by Businessweek's Creative director, Richard Turley then Rob Vargas (from 2014), and Deputy Creative director Tracy Ma (from 2011 through 2016). During her time at Businessweek, Ma worked on over 200 issues.[32] Now she is the Visual Editor at The New York Times Styles desk.
Additional versions[edit]
International editions of Businessweek were available on newsstands in Europe and Asia until 2005 when publication of regional editions was suspended to help increase foreign readership of customized European and Asian versions of Businessweek's website.[33] However, the same year the Russian edition was launched in collaboration with Rodionov Publishing House.[34]
At the same time, Businessweek partnered with InfoPro Management, a publishing and market research company based in Beirut, Lebanon, to produce the Arabic version of the magazine in 22 Arab countries.[35]
In 2011, Bloomberg Businessweek continued the magazine's international expansion and announced plans to introduce a Polish-language edition called Bloomberg Businessweek Polska, as well as a Chinese edition which was relaunched in November 2011.[36][37][38]
Bloomberg Businessweek launched an iPad version of the magazine using Apple's subscription billing service in 2011.[39][40] The iPad edition was the first to use this subscription method, which allows one to subscribe via an iTunes account.[41] There are over 100,000 subscribers to the iPad edition of Businessweek.[42]
Honors and awards[edit]
In the year 2011, Adweek named Bloomberg Businessweek as the top business magazine in the country.[43] In 2012, Bloomberg Businessweek won the general excellence award for general-interest magazines at the National Magazine Awards.[44] Also in 2012, Bloomberg Businessweek editor Josh Tyrangiel was named magazine editor of the year by Ad Age.[45] In 2014, Bloomberg Businessweek won a Society of American Business Editors and Writers Best in Business award for magazines, general excellence.[46]
