Issue No.8 - Polo De'Marco Magazine ENGLISH | Page 9

As we turn 5years old and eight (8) issues strong! I humbly reflected on what we have achieved since our inception in 2010 from a simple magazine reporting on everything from luxury lifetyle to in-depth interviews on current affairs, international business and investments with leading free thinkers of the world. ! And as we crew both the sophistication of our audience grew where now we have gone into more in-depth study and research on not only what our audiences want and need; but what they expect in terms of our extreme high standards of service as an international luxury magazine. ! Having said that thou - I am proud to say that from this issue onwards we are not only offering our customers an international edition for our english speaking customers; but now we have grown and expanded our staple to include both French & Russian speaking editions which service our extensive family of sorts to new regions, new demographics and potentionally new customers. ! Alongside my overwhelming excitement; people since the begining have been saying that your magazine is "so beautiful" and it should be in print. But; as I grew older and as I write this on my birthday (June 14th) - I feel that 2015 is a year also where we needed to expand the both the business to other places around world. However, also researching what technologies are now out there for digital publishing whilst keeping our strong and deep seated roots of keeping it simple; but providing the highest of quality content that is not seen or forseen in any other luxury magazine across the globe. ! Thus, we were extremely lucky as I was speaking at a technology and icloud conference that I found a new venture in 'augemented reality' which are popularly used and implemented wihtin the gaming industry to enhance my luxury and in-depth content from a flat 2D image and multi-media platform to 3D/4D dimension which brings images to life. For instance, by simply downloading the application from iTunes and scanning the image from the ad page within the magazine - the hotel for example will come to life with moving and interactive parts including vertual tours to hyperlinks to the company's social and web pages. ! Hence, with being 5years old and 8 issues stronger - what can you imagine what we will be like in another 10years?? Some say the next luxury conglomerate! But, all I have to say is that I am just simplly humbled to be alive in an ever changing world of publishing...! !
