LightNOW has learned that Architectural Record appears to be about to lose the AIA media contract, which is due to expire at the end of 2010. The American Institute of Architects has chosen Hanley Wood, LLC to begin negotiating development of an integrated media approach (print, online, digital, convention/meetings) for the AIA’s official publication and annual convention.
Hanley Wood is the publisher of Architect Magazine. While the new relationship with AIA will certainly benefit Architect, it is unclear at this point how Architectural Lighting Magazine, also published by Hanley Wood, will benefit. It could benefit substantially. . . .
