About
Established 2003

A love story
about place.

01
A portrait in motion

Every edition begins with affection for a place and curiosity about where it is going.

Each edition documents the leadership, enterprise, culture and way of life that give a market its character, presented through a carefully edited publication that is both a showcase and a lasting record.

02
The series

A collective portrait
of a place.

Each edition is created in partnership with people who understand the market from within. Business leaders, entrepreneurs, institutions, cultural figures and local contributors help reveal the ideas, achievements and ambitions shaping the region.

A Best of Series edition is not a directory or a conventional destination guide. It is a shared portrait of a place, carefully edited and made to be kept.

03
What the series does

To celebrate
and to connect.

Best of Series exists to give a market a publication its participants can be proud to share, and readers can trust to understand it.
