Colombo, Sri Lanka: After a 5-year hiatus, Cosmopolitan is all set to make its grand return to Sri Lanka under the leadership of Tribal Lanka Private Limited in collaboration with Hearst Magazines International.
Cosmopolitan Sri Lanka’s goal is clear: to engage and uplift its audience through interesting, well-researched, culturally significant pieces of content that young women will find relatable across all avenues of their lives.
Featuring quarterly print editions supported by a strong online presence across the brand’s website and social media channels, Cosmopolitan Sri Lanka will cover topics across verticals, including fashion, beauty, love, finance, careers, technology, mind, body, lifestyle, entertainment and more. With the relaunch, Cosmopolitan Sri Lanka will also drive a sense of community and belonging through a range of engaging, immersive events all year long.
“Bringing Cosmopolitan back to Sri Lanka has been a fearless ambition, Keshini Dunusinghe, Shihaam Hassanali and I have had — they’ve been instrumental in making this a reality for all women in Sri Lanka!” shared Kishani Vethavinayakam, Publisher and Co-Director of Tribal Lanka Pvt Ltd. “Through intriguing and impactful journalism, Cosmopolitan Sri Lanka will empower, fuel, and raise women dynamically all while having a lot of fun! Our approach is to give women of all spokes of life access to accurate and fact-checked content on our beautiful island. We are thrilled to bring back this incredible women’s media brand to the teardrop of the Indian Ocean!”
Cosmopolitan is the world’s largest young women’s media brand, delivering fresh information that Gen Zers and Millennials really care about. The publication made its debut in 1886 but was transformed in 1965 by Helen Gurley Brown into the iconic brand everyone knows and loves.
