The magazine previously commissioned Canopy to manage its insert and classified sales in 2015 and 2017.

Established in 1828, The Spectator continues to dominate in a digital era – 70,000 print subscribers are now joined by two million people who read the magazine online.

Editor of The Spectator Fraser Nelson cites reader engagement as the magazine’s greatest asset. The latest ABC results reported a 7% increase in print and digital and a 27% increase in digital subscriptions (Jul-Dec 2017 year-on-year).

The move means Canopy will handle the brand’s display and digital advertising with immediate effect.

Canopy also has partnerships with TI Media, Haymarket Media Group, HELLO! magazine, The Guardian and The Daily Telegraph.
