Singular Magazine Debuts to Celebrate the Single Lifestyle

Singular Magazine Debuts to Celebrate the Single Lifestyle. New Magazine and Website for ‘Singulars’ Bolsters one of Los Angeles’ Fastest-Growing Communities

LOS ANGELES, June 18 /PRNewswire/ — Singular Communications, which
encompasses both Singular magazine and SingularCity.com, has been launched
by journalist Kim Calvert and financier David Wright. Under the Singular
Communications banner, Calvert and Wright will debut Singular magazine,
SingularCity.com and local events in Los Angeles this fall. Calvert is the
co-founder and editorial director. Wright is the publisher.

Singular magazine will have an editorial voice that validates what the
magazine has dubbed the “singular” lifestyle and recognizes being single as
a satisfying, enjoyable life choice. The glossy lifestyle magazine will be
alive, inspirational and thought-provoking. The look says sophisticated,
sexy and savvy — yet friendly, inviting, warm and fun. Editorial offerings
will include personality profiles of fascinating Los Angeles “singulars”,
columns from top singularly-focused writers, along with features that cover
food, fun, beauty and travel; all geared towards single people who enjoy
living life to the fullest.

The mission of Singular magazine, SingularCity.com and SingularCity
events is to serve as the ultimate lifestyle guide for single adults, ages
30 plus. Singular magazine will be the first magazine of its kind to
embrace and speak to a fast-growing, successful and happy group of
individuals in a way that celebrates their life choice rather than trying
to fix it.

Singular’s target demographic is single adults over 30 who are college
educated professionals with minimum household incomes over $100,000. Unlike
other singles-oriented brands, Singular’s goal is to position the single
lifestyle in today’s consumer marketplace, as a positive state-of-mind and
fulfilling way-of-life.

The U.S. Census Bureau revealed that 50.3 percent of households in the
nation are headed by unmarried adults, and in Los Angeles, the number jumps
to 55 percent. This growing majority, with their unique lifestyle and
consumer behavior, has been overlooked by advertisers and marketers who’ve
yet to realize their distinctive attitudes and interests — and their
enormous spending power which is over $15 billion among Singular magazine’s
readership alone.

The premiere issue of Singular will be direct-mailed to the homes of
63,000 affluent single adults living in Los Angeles. It will also be
available through subscription, direct mail promotion and retail outlets,
such as upscale newsstands and bookstores, and SingularCity events.
Singular magazine will have a newsstand price of $4.95.

“I don’t need another half to be whole,” said Calvert. “I got tired of
people making me feel incomplete because I was single and through this
process, I realized I wasn’t alone. The goal of Singular is to create and
serve a large and fast growing community for like-minded singles, who have
active social lives and are comfortable with their single lifestyle. We
don’t need to fight conscious battles to defend our decision to be single.
This is about individual choice and what feels right and natural for us.”

Singular magazine’s editorial director is Calvert, a freelance
journalist, graduate of USC’s Annenberg School of Journalism and energetic
spokesperson for the “singular” lifestyle. Calvert is responsible for
overseeing the editorial content and securing high profile contributors.
She is also responsible for setting and maintaining the fun, upbeat and
often humorous tone of the magazine.

“We are the first media company to speak to single consumers in a way
that relates to and affirms their lifestyle choice,” said founder David
Wright, a longtime single who is active in various business and community
pursuits. “Today over half of all California adults are currently single –
we represent a powerful force and we’re excited to build a community
through this magazine and our online destination that speaks to and about
them in a very positive way.”

As a companion to the bi-monthly magazine, the SingularCity.com website
will provide time-sensitive information such as an extensive calendar of
relevant cultural, recreational and social events, and interactive features
such as a bulletin board and blogs that allow readers to interact and to
comment on content in the magazine and website, creating a sense of
community among Los Angeles “singulars.”

Both the magazine and the website will have a high production value and
will drive traffic to the other. Each will provide unique content,
capitalizing on the best elements each medium has to offer. Both the print
and online version will share a similar graphic style for consistent brand
identity.
