The magazine aims to garner advertisers such as aviation companies, lifestyle partners from automobiles, yachts, travel related, watches and men-related fashion.Both titles are published in Singapore, and distributed in key cities across the Asia Pacific region, namely Kuala Lumpur, Jakarta, Bangkok, Hong Kong, Melbourne, Sydney, Manila, Beijing and Shanghai. Pulp Kreatives is also acquiring SOLITAIRELUXE.COM, SOLITAIRE's digital edition, and all online and social media initiatives of both SOLITAIRE and JETGALA. The magazines are currently not audited.“With both titles and their digital media extensions joining our group, we will be able to offer additional integrated and tailored solutions to our clients, with leading marketing capabilities in the print, digital and event environments,” Dennis Pua, managing director of Media Group, said.“We are very happy to see this acquisition come through. With Media Group’s professional background, extensive resources, and the owners’ growth strategy for their luxury media portfolio, the two titles are a perfect fit, and will prosper further to reach their full potential,” Rainer Sigel, former publisher of Oriental Publishing, said in a statement.
