Condé Nast has a huge global footprint across 32 countries worldwide with total monthly visitors reaching more than 550 million. We aim to inspire, inform and entertain our audiences through our portfolio of well known brands such as Vogue, Wired, Vanity Fair, Architectural Digest, GQ and many other leading brands.

Condé Nast has operations in America, Europe, South America and Asia. There are long-established operations in major Indian cities such as Mumbai and Chennai across many business areas.

The company is undertaking the biggest transformation in its history, driving towards expanding both its operations and its reach through diversifying the digital business models for our brands. Part of this involves bringing all of the Brands in all of our Markets onto a single Global Content Platform so that the entire company can make use of our shared services to deliver compelling experiences to our readers.

Condé Nast is migrating 17 Brands located across 11 Markets onto its core Content Platform which consists of an authoring tool called Copilot, back-end Content APIs, and a syndication tool called Encore. Once this migration is complete, we will be able to offer a uniform set of content types and workflows to allow editors around the world to create and distribute content to any market we service.

Once the migration is complete, our Content Platform will then be expanded as part of new Digital-First content workflows that Conde Nast is currently planning. This work will transform how content is created at Conde Nast and enable us to offer new types of content experiences on our digital platforms.
