One of the areas in which Adelaide has had great success is the city.

Adelaide is developing a new, urban-centric future and CityMag is the voice of those building that future. Medium and high-density living isn’t something you can advertise effectively on a billboard, on the radio or in a 30-second-television-time-slot. 

CityMag is Adelaide’s only media brand actively demonstrating the benefits and amenity of a life lived closer together. Without CityMag’s focus on the benefits of city living and the city lifestyle there would be no advocate for apartment and town house living in South Australia.

Concurrently, CityMag partners with the people who are building the businesses of the future – businesses that will ultimately nurture healthier communities and a more collaborative economy.

Adelaide is already one of the world’s most liveable cities. We’re showing people that it can also be a city of opportunity. 

Forme Projex is a CityMag partner. They build mid-rise residential apartments in the city and we build their customers.

CityMag readers are looking to make their home here.

In the top three “associated interests” for the CityMag website, our readers are looking at Real Estate websites and “Residential Properties (For Sale)”.

We are committed to helping the City of Adelaide realise its population growth targets because more people living closer together means a safer, more engaging and more prosperous society. Population density is good for business.

More locals living in the city rather than spread thinly across the outer suburbs means closer and quicker connections, more equitable access and a greater chance for business to build regular and repeat custom.

How we help you make a difference (to Adelaide, and to your business):

Advertising creating specifically for CityMag by our sister company – Masthead Studio

John Lethlean lists CityMag’s print edition as a reason to visit Adelaide!

CityMag cuts through the noise:

The proliferation of information, eat-and-tweet culture and paid-for ‘influencers’ means readers are putting less and less faith in what they read online.

Whether you’re considering our print or digital product, CityMag creates a different kind of cut through with our brand, which is only possible because of the perceived authenticity and authority at the heart of our operation.

Proving our influence and effect, both our content and our advertising is often captured and re-published online by our readers.  Whether we’re getting esteem from The Australian newspaper’s influential food critic, John Lethlean or a happy reader sharing our quirky and effective advertising, CityMag maintains relevance in the digital age.

CityMag provides consistent messaging and support for the themes of a smart, green, liveable and creative city. We create a positive environment in which to learn about new and exciting developments and ultimately create greater confidence in both business and consumers with well-researched and constructive analysis.

CityMag has created the infrastructure to support new thinking and new behaviour in our readers.

What comes first?

The tram, the track or the destination?

None of the above. What comes first is the pioneer. Pioneers build destinations. They build a reason to travel, a reason to spend money, a reason to grow.

CityMag is Adelaide’s only telegraph bringing news back from a brave new frontier in Adelaide’s history as we change and shift gears into a new and exciting, urban future – and we want to make sure you’re part of that future.

Investing in CityMag is about ensuring the success of your business’ top line strategy. CityMag is both platform and vehicle to gather an audience and deliver your key messages to them, while providing an attractive, positive environment that adds value to your business.
