In a rapidly changing world of technological developments, a world of possibilities; change in the only constant and innovation the key to success. With constantly changing social, political and economical landscapes, dynamic enterprises quick to adapt to the new conditions while continually delivering quality will be successful. This has been the mantra and also the success formula of Media Transasia – one of Asia’s most diversified magazine publishing groups. The Journey began in 1977, around the time the economies of the Far East and Southeast Asia were stirring awake. Its founder, who worked at top management positions with Thomson Press publishing group in the region for close to a decade, had just acquired its magazine-publishing interests in Hong Kong and Thailand. The new company chose Bangkok as its headquarters, with publishing offices in Hong Kong and India, and associates around the globe. As the economic boom in the region began, Media Transasia launched a series of international quality magazines. From four magazines it grew to over 20, each a leader in its category. From travel and inflight magazines to credit and charge-card magazines, fashion and lifestyle magazines, interior design, architecture and building construction, hotel management and catering, and even the Asian Military Review. Quite simply, one of the largest range of general interest and specialist magazines catering to the needs of a niche segment from a single publisher.
