25 years of Spotlight Verlag
First edition
of Spotlight 1981
| |
Munich, 14 July 2006 Spotlight Verlag, a subsidiary of the Handelsblatt publishing group, is popping the champagne corks: the European market leader in language magazines is celebrating its 25th anniversary.
The slogan "Sprachen einfach können" (“Languages the easy way”) coined in 1981 is still relevant today. In 2006, more than 600,000 readers are using Spotlight products to keep their language skills up-to-date. Spotlight's range of magazines is acknowledged in the industry: winner of the Bavarian Print Media Prize in 2003, Spotlight Verlag received a recommendation by the 'Stiftung Lesen' institute for Spot on, and BusinessSpotlight was shortlisted for "Fachzeitschrift des Jahres 2006" (Best Special Interest Magazine).
The story began 25 years ago with the first English magazine, Spotlight. It was followed by écoute, ECOS and ADESSO in French, Spanish and Italian, as well as Spot on in easy English and Business Spotlight in business English. The portfolio expanded further in 2005 with the launch of Deutsch perfekt, a magazine for learners of German as a foreign language. The product range also includes audio CDs, exercise workbooks, teaching materials, podcasting and an online language shop. The diversity of languages is reflected within the publishing house itself: staff members from 16 different countries are employed at Spotlight.
Publisher and managing director Dr. Wolfgang Stock is optimistic about the future: "Language is the key to understanding in a globalised world. Whether for professional or social reasons, the thirst for knowledge is enormous. We are in an excellent position here with our products". The Spotlight concept is now finding recognition right around the world: licensees from Italy to China publish the language magazines for their local markets.
