Philippine media entity announces partnership with California-based media group
In a meeting at the center of luxury and fashion in Beverly Hills, California, Brian Poe-Llamanzares was able to work out a strategic distribution and representation agreement with Publicom Latina Publishing Group (PLPG) Deputy Editor and Group Business Development Executive for Asia, Pacific, and Australia, Vincent Gotti.
Mr. Poe-Llamanzares’ goal is to get more international exposure for more Filipinos. He says that the two groups have been negotiating the details of the agreement for the past few months and that he is excited to strengthen the presence of Business Concept magazine and Luxury Trending magazine in the Philippines.

“This is a strategic move for our group of companies. With this combination of lifestyle and business magazines, we’ll be able to expand our offerings for local customers and increase exposure for local personalities,” shared Mr. Poe-Llamanzares.
As for Mr. Gotti and PLPG, the move taps a large Asian base. Mr. Gotti says he has high hopes for the partnership. This will effectively make the Philippines a strong regional base for the US-based media group.
“At first, I thought Brian just owned a watch company, but then when I found out he also owns a media group I said, ‘sure man! Let’s do it!,’” said Mr. Gotti.
When asked why partner with Oracle Media Group, Gotti brought up two reasons: the Philippines has a strong social media presence and including more Filipino personalities on the covers of their international publications would help grow PLPG’s digital footprint.
“I’m excited because I believe Oracle Media Group is the perfect Media Partner to expand our distribution in Manila,” added Mr. Gotti.
The PLPG website says, “PLPG GLOBAL MEDIA has expanded its portfolio offering different products for all kinds of audience. Headquartered in Colombia and California US, PLPG operates in 35 markets including US – Colombia & Latin America – Brazil – Australia – Canada – Italy – France – UK – Spain – Portugal – Switzerland – Germany – Belgium – Netherlands – Poland – Bulgaria – Greece – South Africa – Ukraine – Philippines – India – Turkey – Japan – China – Taiwan – Hong Kong – Dubai – Russia, producing some of the world’s leading print, digital, video and social brands, reaching a lot of consumers around the globe, bringing our readers to a world of luxury life style, fashion, sensuality, excellence, creativity and passion.”
This is the second publication group that Mr. Poe-Llamanzares has partnered with recently. Late last year he was able to secure a similar agreement with “The Purple Stroke” a Media entity based in Dubai which owns Aspire magazine.
Oracle Media Group currently is comprised of different publications, including Rising Tigers magazine, Alike magazine, The Manila Journal, Negosyante News, and Rapid News PH. It also handles the distribution and representation of Business Concept magazine, Luxury Trending magazine, and Aspire magazine.
