Branded Editions, powered by PressReader, has partnered with Beijing Rayli Magazine House and the China International Book Trading Corporation (CIBTC). Branded Editions, known for its award-winning technology, has launched a custom-tailored app and digital edition site for the well-known publishing house – the first Branded Editions project brokered through PressReader’s continuing relationship with CIBTC, which began a few years ago.

Established in 1995, the Beijing Rayli Magazine House has achieved tremendous success in magazine and book publishing over the last 25 years, cultivating a dedicated audience of more than 10M readers. Rayli’s goal has been to become the leading multi-platform media in China, and they’re certainly on their way to achieving that goal with their top Chinese language magazines, which focus on fashion, lifestyle, and décor.

A unique development feature, Branded Editions worked to combine four of Rayli’s top read magazines onto one app platform – giving readers the option to toggle between magazines easily. And, unlike Rayli’s existing app (only accessible in China), Branded Editions’ technology gives Rayli the ability to utilize rich media tools, such as embedding video ads, photo galleries, and audio to editorial content – giving Rayli the ability to elevate their content into an engaging and interactive experience for readers.

The partnership is an important one for the Branded Editions division of PressReader. With more than 50 million Chinese nationals living abroad, and more than 100 million Chinese nationals that travel each year internationally, the custom app and branded editions site has the potential to reach a broad audience of readers looking for Chinese content. Now, readers can enjoy up-to-date access to complete versions of their favorite Rayli magazines, regardless of where they are in the world.

“Rayli has officially gone international through CIBTC, with overseas distribution of its four digital magazines. For more than a year of partnership with PressReader (a digital newspaper app) they worked together with the CIBTC to develop exclusive customized Android and Apple apps for its fourth magazine to expand the subscription channels of Rayli in the overseas market. Thank you very much.” – China International Book Trading Corporation

Thanks to the availability of Branded Editions’ instant translation, the publications is even be accessible for those who do not read Chinese.
