Barry McIlheney interviews Stylist Editor-in-Chief Lisa Smosarski

July 2, 2020

PPA Webinar with Stylist

Lisa Smosarski, Editor-in-Chief at Stylist, joins Barry McIlheney on our virtual sofa for a fireside chat about what she and the team at Stylist have been up to during lockdown. Lisa tells us how the award-winning title - previously given away to commuters up and down the country - has had to quickly adapt its entire strategy now that the vast majority of commuters are staying at home.

How has their audience reacted to the brand new Stylist app, where will she and the team go from here, what lessons have they learned over the last three months, and what does the future look like post-pandemic? We hear about all this and lots more in this upcoming exclusive interview. Not one to be missed!
