Biography

Opportunities don't always knock loudly. Sometimes they tap on the door, a gentle, recurring noise that patiently waits to be investigated. Last year, we thought we heard the rapping of opportunity and over the summer, we took the time to properly look into it. As the only magazine publisher of its kind in London, we have at our disposal the ability to provide the London market something it doesn't have, yet richly deserves: a big, bright, glossy magazine filled with all the best London has to offer. London needed a single, unified voice telling the stories of Londoners - their accomplishments and their successes that inspire, encourage and inform us, and that duly acknowledges what so many of us know but are too modest to say: that London is an important place. Your Magazines Canada is not backed by some faceless, out-of-town media conglomerate, and our magazines feature only London-area advertisers. We are Londoners, every one of us. This city has our undivided attention. Your Magazines Canada has published several titles suggesting just that, but across a variety of specialized topics.

Now, all the same locally-focused, locally-produced content that was featured in

is available in one beautiful magazine: FIVE. However, FIVE also includes some new content our readers like to see, such as photo coverage of local galas. In short, FIVE is about more: more content, more value, more London. The expanded focus of FIVE is accompanied by increased distribution - still through advertisers, but now also in targeted neighbourhoods and at UPS stores across the city. FIVE also has an increased online presence with our digital magazine demonstrating that an additional readers are opening the pages of FIVE.

Everyone at Your Magazines Canada is excited about FIVE, and we hope you are too.
