Trendsetting Digital Startup Creativ Launches A New App Experience and Conjures Up Big Magic with Cover Star Elizabeth Gilbert
Scottsdale, AZ (PRWEB) November 17, 2015 -- Named one of the “Hottest Launches Of The Year” in 2015 by min, magazine industry standout Creativ announces the launch of a new web and mobile app experience for their readers. Previously a print-only magazine, today the company will launch for the first time an exclusive digital release of their latest issue. To commemorate this curated digital achievement, the issue will feature never-before-released words from Elizabeth Gilbert (author of “Eat Pray Love”) on trust, curiosity, and the other ‘c’ word (liberating the word creativity). Gilbert discusses her new book "Big Magic: Creative Living Beyond Fear" in the exclusive cover story interview available only through the Creativ app. In collaboration with Gilbert, starting Monday, Creativ will be launching “Creativ x Big Magic,” a week-long event where Creativ will be exclusively sharing highlights from the #BigMagic hashtag that Gilbert hand-picked with love.
“Elizabeth Gilbert and her new book 'Big Magic' epitomize the values of Creativ and The Creativ Movement. Featuring her on the cover of our first-ever digital-only magazine released exclusively through the Creativ Magazine app and to collaborate with her in this launch is a creative dream come true. The impact of spotlighting ‘15 Women Who Wow’ and the magic they’re creating in life makes this a special issue. We wanted to surprise and delight our readers with what’s inside,” said Paige Zeigler, CEO of Creativ.
