Founded in 2013, CityMag was created as an insider’s guide to life and business in downtown

Adelaide. Reporting on the city’s unique habits as well as its commerce and culture gives

CityMag readers a unique insight into what’s trending,

whose business is booming and where the best places to eat and

drink are.

CityMag is Adelaide’s only premium media brand. We send journalists and photographers

on assignment together in order to deliver a more in-depth

style of reportage. We speak with confidence to a mature

and modern audience, who’ve long been on the look out for a reliable reference for their busy

city lives.

City people are a savvy bunch. Now, for the first time,

they’ve got a paper that speaks to them.

Every month more than 20,000 people visit citymag.com.au

for the latest developments in Adelaide.

From the outset our digital platform was designed for the reader’s pocket so that mobile

browsing is a comfortable experience. We anticipate

taking full advantage of the larger format of a desktop site,

creating rich slide shows, fashion segments and in-depth photo-journalism that will keep our

audience lingering longer.

A large format magazine, where a double page spread closes in

on a metre squared, CityMag’s content has room to breathe and effortlessly captivates

readers with timeless design and vibrant imagery. Based in the heart of the city at the

corner of Clubhouse Lane and Hindley Street, our magazine is committed to reporting on the

city from the unique perspective of a city business. CityMag’s quarterly print cycle gives it a

natural rhythm with the seasons and each edition is edited to

provide unique insights into city life, business and culture.

CityMag is established as a FREE quarterly print publication with the aim of creating energy around city living and investment. 20,000 publications are

launched onto the streets of Adelaide.

A full year after launching on streets, CityMag launches online. Three months later we launch the

CityMag Week, our weekly digital edition.

In the Spring edition of CityMag we print an A2-sized art poster celebrating the history of modern

coffee in Adelaide. Countless readers shared images of their art poster, framed and hanging on their wall

at home via Instagram.

CityMag readers are unequivocally ‘city people’. They are people who work or live in the city or are actively seeking

to make that their reality. CityMag readers are veracious

learners and early adoptors. They understand the nature of a constantly evolving interface,

the importance of human contact and community as well

as art and individual style.

CityMag readers are not only first time apartment-buyers but also property developers

and landlords. Our readers are entrepreneurs as well as art and festival directors – they’re social innovators and design leaders. A CityMag reader is an influential

member of their peer group and their well-informed actions

lead to significant social and economic outcomes for the state.

Traditional media has not adapted well to the digital age. It’s not enough to be ‘FREE’ - we want to compete with social media as a valuable component of modern

marketing.

In 2015 we will release our JQ Mag Stand mkII (pictured). Our

magazine stands are dotted across metropolitan Adelaide and feed

readership and content data back into our distribution system.

Each stand is monitored by our distribution partners who alert us when they become empty. Some stands move as many as 1,100

copies per edition!

As we aggressively eliminate waste and increase accountability

CityMag services a portfolio of corporate subscribers, which allows

advertisers to connect with their target market.

CityMag takes pride in every page. As a rule we shy away from part-page advertisements as our research indicates they are considered to be

intrusive and reduce the overall experience a reader has with the content. Instead, CityMag works alongside advertisers to create original content

for companies, brands and institutions who are interested in creating a more in-depth dialogue with our influential readership. We believe

good value is at the top of every marketers wish list and our commercial collaborations, without a doubt, represent the best bang for buck.

Produced entirely in-house a CityMag collaboration goes beyond an ordinary advertorial in that we give our clients full exposure to our brand and its positive association. Featuring the same illustrators,

photographers and writers as the pages of our magazine a commercial collaboration flows inside the mag and exposes readers to valuable and

important messages from your company that cannot be communicated in a tagline.

Working with us could be as brief as a single page in CityMag or as in-depth as a separate booklet or film that gets distributed with our title.

CityMag was built on a hunch, a hunch that Adelaide needed

a proper paper with quality information and powerful

insights into global economic and cultural trends. With

positive feedback from readers flooding in, advertisers too have quickly responded to the unique marketing opportunity CityMag

presents to connect with an influential audience.
