A new year can bring about many new changes. For Beverage Industry and our parent company, BNP Media, we are more than excited to introduce you to some of our latest changes.

In this month’s eMagazine, you likely noticed some significant changes. We have migrated to a new platform to produce our publication that not only allows us to deliver the content that you love, but also incorporates the latest in design elements. This enables us to usher in a new era of eMagazine design.

As the members of Beverage Industry become more attuned to the platform's elements, expect to experience tons of features and interactions that will bring our content to life in new, exciting and interactive ways. You can look forward to scroll-based animations, Lottie animations, stunning video backgrounds and more that will enhance the eMagazine content for you, our reader.

Staple sections like New Products, Packaging News and Suppliers Marketplace now will be anchored with bigger, bolder imagery. To access the content, simply click the plus-sign icon on the top right-hand side of the image.

Our Between Drinks and Last Drop sections also will have the imagery command as strong of a presence as the content that accompanies them.

Although changes are in store, many elements still remain. For instance, you still are able to access podcasts associated with articles. In the February issue, Barbara Harfmann brings her "Up Close With" feature to life with the Sip & Learn podcast episode “Delivering authenticity,” where she talks with Kyle Cooke, founder of Loverboy Inc., to discuss the ins and outs of the company’s sparkling hard teas and premium craft cocktails.

As we embark on this new journey, please reach out to the Beverage Industry staff to share with us your thoughts on our new eMagazine design. We are very excited about the opportunities this new design system can deliver to make your reading experience the best that it can be!
