MANILA, Philippines: In a strategic move to gain international exposure for more Filipinos, the Oracle Media Group, led by Brian Poe-Llamanzares, has signed a distribution and representation agreement with California’s Publicon-Latina Publishing Group (PLPG).
The agreement, which was sealed after a meeting between Poe-Llamanzares and Vincent Gotti, PLPG deputy editor and group business development executive for Asia, Pacific, and Australia, aims to strengthen the presence of “Business Concept Magazine” and “Luxury Trending Magazine” in the Philippines.
Poe-Llamanzares expressed his excitement about the partnership, stating that the two groups have been working on the details of the agreement for the past few months. He believes that this collaboration will not only expand their offerings for local customers but also increase exposure for local personalities.
Gotti, on the other hand, sees this move as an opportunity to tap into the large Asian base, making the Philippines a strong regional base for the US-based media group. Initially, Gotti was under the impression that Brian Poe-Llamanzares only owned a watch company. However, when he discovered that he also owned a media group, he was eager to collaborate.
Recognizing the Philippines’ strong social media presence, Gotti believes that featuring more Filipino personalities on the cover of their international publications will help grow PLPG’s digital footprint. He expressed his excitement about partnering with Oracle Media Group, stating that they are the perfect media partner to expand their distribution in Manila.
It is worth noting that PLPG operates in 35 markets worldwide, including the US, Colombia, Brazil, Australia, Canada, Italy, France, UK, Spain, Portugal, Switzerland, Germany, Belgium, Netherlands, Japan, and China. This partnership with Oracle Media Group marks the second publication group that Poe-Llamanzares has collaborated with recently. Last year, he signed a similar agreement with “The Purple Stroke,” a media entity based in Dubai that owns Aspire Magazine.
Oracle Media Group consists of Rising Tigers Magazine, Alike Magazine, The Manila Journal, Negosyante News, and Rapid News PH. With this new partnership, Oracle Media Group is set to expand its distribution and reach a wider international audience.
In conclusion, the collaboration between Oracle Media Group and Publicon-Latina Publishing Group signifies a strategic move to provide international exposure for more Filipinos. By leveraging the strong social media presence of the Philippines and featuring local personalities on international publications, both groups aim to expand their offerings and increase their digital footprint. With PLPG’s extensive reach in 35 markets and Oracle Media Group’s diverse range of publications, this partnership is poised to bring about significant growth and opportunities for the media industry in the Philippines.
