Magazine B Monocle

Seoul-based Magazine B is all about “deep dives on the brands that dominate our lives.” Heavy! But also very cool! Each issue is 130+ ad-free pages dedicated to a single brand from an independent perspective, enriched by fantastic photography and graphics. Think of it as a documentary in print form that also looks great on the coffee table. Issue 60 highlights Monocle, the London-based and globally minded magazine that also goes deep: “Launched in 2007 by Tyler Brûlé, Monocle has also offered a series of books, newspapers, a radio channel that runs 24 hours a day and a rich selection of podcasts. Monocle also operates shops and cafés to reach out to more readers. Its advertorial contents, created in collaboration with many brands, have provided a successful and steady source of revenue for the comprehensive media company. Since this issue was published, Monocle has also developed a strong and growing book and travel guide businesses.”
