To celebrate our inclusive community, we’re excited to be working with Express Magazine this year!
express has been New Zealand’s leading LGBT+ media since 1992.
Our publications include a popular website, a full-gloss, national, monthly magazine (available in both printed and online form) and strong social media presence.
express has expanded from a small A4-sized, four-page photocopied pamphlet to a minimum 40-page full gloss colour magazine now published monthly. The first accompanying website appeared 10 years ago.
express is published by TMO Publications Ltd, an independent New Zealand owned company.
The express team is also supported by a wide range of contributors are also involved each month to broaden the scope and depth of both the magazine and website.
Both our editor Oliver Hall and business manager Matt Fistonich look after our business and advertising clients, while also working together to produce content.
Oliver Hall and Matt Fistonich are also responsible for the production of the monthly magazine and liaison with the designer, contributors, editorial team and advertising.
express remains New Zealand’s only LGBT+ magazine and identifies with gay males aged 16 to 44 years as its primary target audience. Secondary audiences include older males plus bisexual, lesbian and transgender persons.
express is constantly innovating. Recent upgrades to its publication have seen print runs as high as 15,000 in a month and a 64 page full gloss, full colour magazine. A new website launched late 2015 incorporates many new features unique in New Zealand.
express Magazine has a wide distribution throughout NZ but like the target audience, most of the 8,500 – 15,000 copies printed per month are distributed in Auckland. It is also now available online for access worldwide.
Seventy specifically-designed and built stands are used to stock many of the printed magazines. The magazine is bulk distributed to a total of 78 separate delivery confirmed sites in Auckland and throughout NZ, with a further 870 copies posted to smaller distribution sites, MPs, senior government officials, clients, potential clients and subscribers.
With the website upgrades, monthly audience numbers are expanding and now exceed 15,000 on a regular basis. express is also dominant on social media.
