Lifestyle channels rebrand with one local production each month

Foxtel has rolled out a comprehensive rebrand across its Lifestyle portfolio, including Lifestyle, Lifestyle FOOD, Lifestyle HOME and Lifestyle YOU.

Starting today, Lifestyle’s branding will take on a new look and feel designed to ensure that each channel will have its own unique character while maintaining a unified identity under the Lifestyle parent brand.

Hannah Barnes, Foxtel’s general manager for Lifestyle Group, said, “For 20 years, the Lifestyle Group has been one of the most iconic fixtures for Foxtel. It has delighted Australians with truly immersive and creative programming across Lifestyle HOME, Lifestyle YOU and Lifestyle FOOD, and has brought so much joy to the loyal fans of our shows.

"The new brand refresh will be reflected seamlessly across all platforms and formats, aligning the channel group’s brand identity, promos and off screen and will be supported by a marketing campaign across outdoor, press, online, native advertising, podcasts, radio and a once in a lifetime pop-up restaurant experience to say a big thank you to our subscribers.”

ALSO: “I run Australia’s best TV channels,” Barnes told Mediaweek at the 2016 ASTRA conference

The rebrand comes at a time when a raft of new programming will join the lineup, a series of new program acquisitions and commissions, as well as one major local production every month.
