JERRY POWERS PRESENTS “MIAMI POP” – AN ECLECTIC LOOK AT THE CENTER OF THE UNIVERSE

Publishing visionary Jerry Powers is returning to the magazine and online social networking world with his latest endeavor, and soon-to-be-launched publication, MIAMI POP.

With its premier issue set for December 2009, MIAMI POP will take an innovative gaze at Miami’s social scene, progressively showing the Magic City in its yesteryear while capturing what makes it sizzle today. MIAMI POP will highlight the city’s colorful landscape - from nightlife and fashion to the culinary scene and art. MIAMI POP will personify Miami’s exhilarating vibe and take readers on an unprecedented visual journey that Powers and his talented team are known for.

Jerry Powers successfully created and ran Ocean Drive magazine for 15 years. MIAMI POP marks Powers’ triumphant foray back into publishing, and pushing the creative envelope alongside him is editorial director, Glenn Albin, Jacquelynn D. Powers, Rick Delgado and Rich Santelises. The team is hard at work in their Midtown Miami office, abuzz with the energy that comes from invention. MIAMI POP’s inspiration comes from the city itself, a metropolis at the forefront of cutting-edge Pop Culture. Expect the pages of MIAMI POP to explode with playfulness, vibrant colors, exclusive stories and beautiful people.
