Media
One MEGA Group Inc. is the country’s pioneer publishing company of glossy magazines. It remains at the forefront of the Philippine fashion and lifestyle media industry as it continues to push the boundaries of print, digital, and events. One MEGA Group is the prestige publisher of MEGA, Lifestyle Asia, BluPrint, Modern Parenting, The Business Manual, The Game, and its first international media brand, VMAN.
Mega Global Licensing Inc. (MGLI) is the exclusive partner of Conde Nast in the Philippines. Vogue Philippines launched in September 2020 with sustainability and the proliferation of Philippine culture at its core. Vogue Philippine’s bold choice of putting Apo Whang Od – a hundred-plus-year-old mambabatok (traditional tattooist) from Ifugao – on its cover received 90 media pickups worldwide and 100 million social media impressions and changed the way the world perceived beauty.
MGLI is again poised to take the beauty industry by storm with its second brand, the beauty expert, Allure Philippines.
Modern Media Group Inc. houses the global multimedia franchises of Penske Media Corporation: Billboard Philippines, Rolling Stone Philippines, and Robb Report Philippines. It is also the publisher of GenZ voice NYLON Manila.
Though both music-driven, Billboard and Rolling Stone cater to different objectives and audiences. Billboard, with its charts and insight into music trends, is the industry expert, while Rolling Stone focuses more on music, social issues, and popular culture.
While Robb Report heralds exclusivity, Nylon is big on inclusivity. Seemingly at opposite ends of the spectrum, both provide their insider take on life and luxury.
