‘‘THE
STORY”
ELEMENT is described by The Wall Street Journal as Asia’s first
gay men’s high-fashion and lifestyle journal. It is the essential onestop read covering men’s fashion, entertainment, sex & relationship,
fitness, LGBT community current affairs and more. Element is Asia’s
leading LGBT network. It brings the Asian gay community together
with contents that are closely associated with their lives.
In Singapore alone, it is ranked No.2 amongst major men’s titles on
Magzter.com, which is only behind Men’s Health and outnumbered
other mainstream men’s titles such as August Man, Style Men alike.
Since its launch in March 2013, ELEMENT has received overwhelming support from LGBT friends and supporters all around the world,
including A-list celebrities such as Lady GAGA and top Mandopop
diva Zhang Hui Mei (A Mei). For the latter, our Rainbow issue was her
first-ever gay press exclusive cover shoot and interview. For its unique
content, ELEMENT has also attracted the attention of both Western
and Asian mainstream media such as The Wall Street Journal, Yahoo,
BBC World News, The Huffington Post, ABC Network, NNA, China
Daily, Neue Zuercher Zeitung. ELEMENT is currently selling an average
of 30,000 copies per issue across all digital platforms.
When our advertisers (such as Calvin Klein, Paul Smith, Air France
and more) wanted to speak directly to the Asian LGBT community,
they knew we are the “one and only” premier platform in the region to
work with because not only do we deliver excellent marketing results,
we are a key element in helping them build quality relations with their
target consumers for the long run.

“Our readers are mainly the educated and affluent gay
professionals. They are the core consumers whom almost
all the men’s businesses are for. They are stylish, trendy,
and have a penchant for the finer things in life. Let’s
take a look at who are actually the ones subscribing to
these men’s magazines? Not trying to generalize but you
will get what I mean if you’re a marketer. Our magazine
exceeds far above the industry’s standard average on
reaching out to this core group more effectively
compared to any other men’s magazine in the market.”
