Life At Bonnier - Amy Mangino

A Step Further with GROW

GROW helps Amy Mangino take a step in a new direction.

For most GROW participants, the opportunity to work for a Bonnier company in a different country for three months is a chance to experience a new place and culture, and then return home full of memories and ideas. For Amy Mangino, who did the GROW program in the summer of 2010 in Stockholm, it was the time when she found a new place to call home.

The 17-year New York City resident traded Brooklyn for Stockholm as a research analyst at Bonnier Tidskrifter for her GROW program stint.

For GROW participant Amy Mangino, different countries means different magazine models.

Handling magazine advertisements or subscriptions differ depending on which side of the Atlantic you work. So says GROW participant and New Yorker Amy Mangino, who is on a three-month work exchange in Stockholm.  "I thought it would be a great opportunity to live abroad and learn how magazine publishing works in another country," says Mangino, 34, who has worked as a marketing director at Bonnier Corporation's Saveur for the past two years. "I create the media kit, general presentation, and category presentations," she says.
