Our Team

Oriental Media Group is a full-service, competent and resourceful media and events group, that provides the international ultra-luxury and bespoke lifestyle industries with clearly focused marketing, branding, advertising and exhibition platforms.  

Founded in 2002, Oriental Media & Event Company Ltd was first established as a consultancy firm aiming to bring luxury in all its forms to Vietnam. From leading current fashion trends to designer lifestyle brands, the creative and determined Oriental Media spent years studying the unique demands of the new Vietnamese consumer.

In 2004, after having successfully created a niche in the media market, Oriental Media’s team addressed the difficulties faced by international companies in reaching affluent Vietnamese, by creating the first line-up of real and true Vietnamese luxury publications. Driven by growing demand from a fast-expanding affluent consumer group, Oriental’s publications have multiplied and now include titles covering luxury real estate, high-end watches, Vietnam’s dining and after-hours scene, resort and spa locales, as well as the country’s most fashionable boutiques. 

As the go-to source for the latest in high-end trends, Oriental Media has established itself as the premier platform for luxury brands and services in Vietnam. Oriental’s consistent and competent coverage of the market ensures that both its growing list of publications and its dedicated event division brings the best of the world’s fashion and style to Vietnam. 

The combination of insightful, in-depth editorial, cooperation with the region’s best fashion photographers, and a commitment to the world’s top brands keep Vietnam’s most desirable consumers reading our hot-off-the-press, ever-expanding range of titles. As Vietnam’s market continues to look outside the country to satisfy its desires, we will be there. In Vietnam, luxury is our business – our only business.

Our fast expanding line-up of publications and events targets the top tier of the world’s fastest-growing luxury market - the Asia Pacific region. Oriental Media Group is slated to grow exponentially in both size and strength, producing a variety of well-focused and sharply targeted ultra-luxury titles, along with a clearly defined line-up of luxury events. 

The team at Oriental Media Group understands and appreciates luxury. It is our only business.
