#5 Magazine is the world’s first digital lifestyle magazine. Secondly it’s completely free to read. With Rio Ferdinand as Editor-In-Chief and brand ambassador, we’ve certainly had a distinct advantage when chasing high-profile musicians and actors. But we’ve also had the ear and input of a man who knows what he likes.
Sure, people said it would be all about bling, Bentleys and Barbados, but, as Rio says himself, “it’s my number, your magazine,” and by combining editorial credibility with print disciplines and an all-singing, all-dancing display of publishing fireworks, we’ve stayed true to our brief.
And that brief is to deliver, to our demographic, icons and up-an-coming stars of music, film, sport and TV, without forgetting the latest in fashion, technology and the world in general. As the strap line says, it’s about sport, personality and style, and who doesn’t want a bit of that with their cornflakes?
