The Word on The Street

• The reach of City Weekend is amazing and we have launched a few successful media campaigns with the magazine, all thanks to the service-oriented staff who are always willing to support us to meet our media objectives. We look forward to more good years of partnership with City Weekend.

Cher Lim, Marketing DirectorSimply the Group

• I am convinced that without the professional support and advice we received from City Weekend we would not have succeeded as a business. No other magazine reaches into the hearts and minds of expat readers as CW – and in such a way as to be thoughtful, entertaining, and informative. Over the past 5 years, they have been great partners to work with and I am forever grateful for their presence in China.
