Globe & Laurel Magazine, the official journal of the Royal Marines, has launched a new digital reading experience through a modernised app and, for the first time, web-based access via Pocketmags. Powered by Jellyfish, the new platform replaces the magazine’s previous app and delivers a more flexible, user-friendly way for the Corps Family - past, present, and future - to stay connected with the Royal Marines community, added Jellyfish.
In continuous publication since 1892, Globe & Laurel remains a link across generations, with bi-monthly issues reporting on units, detachments, reserves, the Band Service, cadets, reunions, events, Corps sport, and more. The new digital edition offers a significantly improved experience on mobile and tablet, alongside a newly available desktop reading option, Jellyfish continued.
The company says the upgraded app features article view for clean, easy reading on smaller screens, and article audio for those who prefer to listen to the magazine. More than 10 years of back issues are currently available, with plans to expand the archive further. Readers can also access the magazine through Pocketmags, making it possible to browse and read on laptops and desktop computers.
“Working with Pocketmags has been a very positive step for the Globe & Laurel Magazine.” said Lee Cullen of Globe & Laurel. “The Web Reader and Article Audio features have proven very popular with our subscribers and our partnership means we are now able to provide many more reading options for the Royal Marines Corps Family to enjoy, ensuring our members can keep up-to-date wherever or whenever they wish.”
The launch underscores Globe & Laurel’s enduring role as a touchpoint for the Corps community - linking generations, sharing achievements, and preserving the traditions and values of the Royal Marines.
