The Sunday Times Magazine relaunches this weekend in its most substantial refresh in decades, combining Britain’s best columnists with outstanding journalism, powerful interviews, much-loved picture stories and a new Life section offering the definitive guide to modern living.

The Sunday Times Magazine is the most read quality newspaper supplement with more than 1 million readers every week, of which 89 per cent are ABC1. On the tablet edition, Sunday Times engagement figures regularly exceed 58 minutes in a reading experience, close to print.

The launch of the new magazine will be backed by a fully integrated national marketing campaign. High impact digital outdoor media placements will target the commuter and leisure audience - including the striking Motion@Waterloo screen that will be used by The Sunday Times for the first time. Both a radio campaign and wide sampling of the magazine with money-off vouchers have been coordinated to drive purchase and the product will be trailed in the new Times of London Weekly international app.

The new-look magazine sees Jeremy Clarkson and India Knight bring their unmissable opinions to the magazine rather than the newspaper and they will be joined by Simon Barnes, who chronicles rural life in his new nature column.

Life – the magazine’s guide to modern living – features eight sections that define the way we live now, with tips, recommendations and other quick takeaways to make the magazine an even sharper and more engaging read.

New sections within Life include the new Driving section, where the cars look glorious in glossy colour. Jeremy Clarkson is in characteristically robust and provocative form and is joined by Suzi Perry for a female steer on motoring.

Food remains a key destination for readers and advertisers, with a revamped Eating section that comprises recipes and reviews from Jamie Oliver, A.A. Gill and Florence Knight and Damian Barr’s hilarious take on drink.

Other new sections include Tech, written by respected technology writer John Arlidge,Body, which is Matt Rudd’s guide to fitness and a new Love section with sex columnist Vanessa Marin.

Favourite features Relative Values and A Life in the Day are also found in the Life section in the second half of the Magazine, alongside new feature How It Feels To…
