About Brand Magazine

Let’s do branding!

A corporate brand carries with it more than just a company’s name; it also carries the promise of quality and ensured integrity. This goes the same for Brand Magazine.

Brand is the magazine for urban professionals. It is the only publication in the Philippines that combines accessories, fashion, food, lifestyle, mobility, technology, travel and wellness in every issue. Published bi-monthly, Brand is the ultimate guide to a branded lifestyle to suit everyone’s need and budget.

Our goal is to be our readers’ number one guide in choosing the best products, quality and brands out in the market and keep them updated with today’s trends. We would like to bring a different kind of reading and shopping experience to our readers by providing a one-stop guide for an upbeat generation.
