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.

What You Can Expect

As a Who’s Who franchisee you will be in business for yourself but not by yourself. You will have the ability to control your own income and create job security for you and your family. You will take pride in the ownership of your publishing business and provide a valuable service that will improve people’s lives.
