She will provide editorial leadership, vision and direction for the 44-year-old brand. She is also charged with developing brand extensions and increasing brand awareness in order to boost audience engagement.
Crépeau has spent the past year as associate editor-in-chief at the publication. In an internal memo to staff, senior vice-president and general manager, publishing Steve Maich said that Crépeau possesses the required leadership skills, as well as a “deep knowledge” of lifestyle content and audiences.
“She has a strong understanding, appreciation and enthusiasm for the unique brand that is Châtelaine,” said Maich.
