What is a Who’s Who Magazine?

Who’s Who Magazines are a unique brand of bi-annual, city-oriented publications featuring a city’s most respected businesses and nonprofit organizations.

What It Takes

Publishing a magazine is a complex business that requires creative talent and years of experience. Our system works with the novice who has little or no publishing experience. The Who’s Who concept is a comprehensive system that provides ongoing training, support and guidelines for franchisees.

If you are a "people person" who is enthusiastic and able to establish long- term business relationships, then Who’s Who may be just for you. Business owners should be eager to greet each day and build a successful business. You must be professional and have a desire to create positive change. You also need to have the skills to manage a proven business system including analyzing data, selecting quality editorial content and meeting deadlines in addition to organizational skills. It is also necessary to possess basic computer skills and have a general knowledge of applications.
