A SHORT INTRODUCTION
Casper Magazine launched in 2016 and grew into one of Melbourne's most distinctive independent publications, covering fashion, beauty and wellness for the modern, conscious woman. What it needed next was the strategic and commercial infrastructure to become a media brand, not just a content project. Antimony built the framework to scale editorial output, sharpen the commercial offer and turn a loyal readership into real partnerships with brands.
Barfoot & Thompson is New Zealand's largest privately owned agency, family-run for a hundred years. They brought us in to sell their most remote, premium coastal listings the way the best brands sell anything: online, at scale, to exactly the right people.The job was to turn high-end video and photography into a journey that found serious buyers and warmed them up long before they stood on the land. So we built the system to do it, and built it to repeat.
THE CHALLENGE

Turning a beloved magazine into a commercial media brand

THE CONTEXT

Casper had the audience, the aesthetic and the editorial credibility. What it lacked was the commercial infrastructure to convert all of that into revenue. The brand needed a system that could scale editorial output and give the founder real leverage in conversations with advertisers and partners.

THE MARKET

Independent publishing is crowded and under pressure, with most titles competing on content alone. Casper's opportunity was to own a category, female empowerment, design, fashion, health and beauty in Australia, and to back that position with commercial tools.

OUR MOVE

We treated Casper as a content engine, not a magazine. Category branding, an editorial framework, a new website and advertiser-ready collateral, built so the brand could grow its output and sell its audience with confidence.

WORDS FROM ANTIMONY
Casper was never short on taste or audience. The gap was commercial. Our job was to build the infrastructure that let Maria turn a respected magazine into a media brand advertisers take seriously. Treat the publication as an engine, and the editorial takes care of itself.
Sam Hill, Managing Director of Antimony

From content project to media brand.

WHAT WE DELIVERED

Antimony delivered category research and market positioning, a brand design system and category branding, an editorial and content framework, campaign advertising design and creative direction, a new website, advertiser and sponsor pitch decks, and the brand messaging to hold it all together.

EDITORIAL ENGINE

The content strategy and editorial framework were built to scale, lifting output without diluting the voice. The result was a publication that could produce more, more consistently, while staying unmistakably Casper.

COMMERCIAL INFRASTRUCTURE

Advertiser-ready pitch decks, campaign creative and performance reporting gave Casper the tools to have real commercial conversations. The website was rebuilt as a brand experience and a partnership engine, not just a place to read.

MEASURABLE IMPACT

Website sessions grew 92% post-redesign, organic search traffic improved 75% and member sign-ups rose 140%. Editorial output increased 140% in articles per month, campaign advertising drove a 5.4% engagement rate, and 14 pitch deck meetings were booked with prospective brand partners.

WORDS FROM CASPER MAGAZINE
"Antimony helped me see Casper as a content engine, not just a fashion magazine. The pitch deck, the content strategy, the way the website works now. I finally have the tools to have real commercial conversations with the brands I want to partner with."
Maria Ugrinovski, Founder, Casper Magazine
