Joanna Coles Named Editorial Director of Seventeen

Major shake-ups at Hearst women's titles

Barely an hour after Cosmopolitan editor in chief Joanna Coles wrapped up a panel at Advertising Week, where she discussed marketing to women with Facebook CMO (and Cosmo careers editor) Sheryl Sandberg, Hearst announced that Coles had added another major title to her existing one: editorial director of Seventeen magazine.

Coles’ business-side counterpart, Cosmopolitan’s svp, publishing director Donna Kalajian Lagani, will also oversee Seventeen’s marketing and publishing departments. According to Hearst, the two titles will now comprise a new millennial-targeted women’s group that reaches nearly 60 million readers across print and digital.
