Launch Pad: Statement
Wednesday, November 14, 2007

Publisher: EJJ Publications
Frequency: Bi-monthly
Concept: A regional celebrity-based lifestyle magazine focusing on trends of the rich and famous
Target Audience: Approximately 65,000 New Valley and Malibu (CA) estate owners with an annual income exceeding $250,000

Questions with statement publisher and creative director: Richard Bleiweiss

① Most important achievement your magazine has accomplished in today’s marketplace?
Having an original mission to publish a regional title that felt like a national title and having it turn into a national editorial package that has made celebrities, studios and publicists look to us for editorial inclusion.

② Most important hurdle you were able to overcome?
Being a self-funded regional start-up, the most important hurdle was to be taken seriously by the entertainment and publishing industries.

③ What was the biggest pleasant surprise?
Seeing the magazine quoted on network television and in well-known national publications with multi-million circulation numbers.

④ What is the biggest challenge you are facing today?
Keeping up with the marketing and promotion dollars being spent by over-funded, start-up regional publications.

⑤ Describe that human being.
Statement would be someone who on the one hand enjoys the better things in life, but who in his heart is a real philanthropist. He’d be just as comfortable going to an A-List Hollywood event as he would be helping the less fortunate in whatever way he could.

⑥ What would you say to someone starting a new magazine?
Make sure that you have a minimum of 18 months worth of funding in place before you start to publish.

➆ In 2011, your magazine will be...
...A national network of regional advertising packages both in print and on the Web.
