‑ This award makes us very happy, but above all confirms once again that today media not only provide information or opinions, but also, together with partners from other industries, constitute centres of activism changing the world. It will not always be as impressive as the Last Ever Issue of "Your Weekend". Sometimes, as during pandemic, we will collect money for a respirator for a local hospital or support lonely seniors. That's how committed brands act today, and Gazeta.pl is one of them – said Rafal Madajczak, creative director of Gazeta.pl.
„Your Weekend” has been Poland’s longest running and most read adult magazine. When it went up for sale on Allegro ("Polish e-Bay") Gazeta.pl and its partners decided to buy it to symbolically close the magazine and show that no one else should learn about women, partnership, sex and relationships from such magazines. The entire campaign related to the release of The Last Ever Issue of „Your Weekend” was also to provoke discussion among others on gender image, partner relations and gender equality. The latest issue of the magazine was filled with content promoting equal rights and opportunities for both genders but presentedin the original layout and under original headings of the magazine .
