In Real Life: Why Print Still Pulls Us In

In this episode #18 of Audience Architect, we sit down with Megan Wray Schertler, Co-Founder and Managing Director of In Real Life Media, a strategy and execution studio helping independent publishers turn their magazines into modern, revenue-generating platforms—without losing the cultural magnetism that makes them special. Megan draws from her unique experience on both sides of the industry—leading brand and publishing strategy for titles like CR Fashion Book, Fantastic Man, and Interview, and co-founding Case Sensitive, a thought-leadership event exploring the future of print. We unpack how she’s helping publishers and brands design smarter ecosystems where print and digital actually strengthen each other—and why a new generation, including Gen Z, is rediscovering print as a medium for meaning, connection, and belonging.
