Immediate Release

Professor Patrick Wong acquires Keypad Magazine Expands reach in media with the establishment of Crown One Media Group Limited Hong Kong (4 July 2016) – Professor Patrick Wong and Flagship Media Company Limited (“Flagship”) officially announced today that they have closed the transaction by which Professor Wong has acquired Hong Kong­based luxury lifestyle magazine Keypad Magazine (“KEYPAD”), which has been effective as of June 2016. In addition, he has concurrently established a brand new media group called the Crown One Media Group Limited (“Crown One Media”). To celebrate the occasion, KEYPAD will host a cocktail reception for its VIPs and partners at California Tower’s Loft 22. Professor Wong is a specialist in international finance analysis, forex, equities and bonds with over 30 years investment experience, and is one of Hong Kong’s most prominent and sought­after financial commentators. Prior to contributing for KEYPAD, he was a regular luxury lifestyle columnist for numerous local publications. Together with his on­going specialised finance media channel www.wongsir.com.hk, he aspires to develop an integrated media platform with both KEYPAD and Crown One Media targeted for professional audiences. KEYPAD was first conceptualized in 2011 with the motivations to create a condensed luxury lifestyle guide to enrich working professionals who are too busy to be reached via mainstream avenues. The magazine not only broke conventions with its atypical compact size, but also became the first bilingual luxury lifestyle magazine in Hong Kong to deliver directly to high net worth professionals and influential individuals. In its fifth year, KEYPAD has grown in strength with its targeted readership demographic and distribution points (est. circulation of 46,000 as of Jan 2016). Furthermore, KEYPAD marked a significant milestone in 2015 with the expansion into Macau, including distributions at several of the top integrated resorts. Professor Wong remarked, “Investment and lifestyle go hand­in­hand. With its unrealized potential, I see no better way than to have KEYPAD on­board as we integrate and grow the team while we set out to endeavour into Greater China and beyond. Our ultimate goal after all is to educate our audiences in attaining the riches of life, and living it to the fullest.” Mr Dixon Wu, co­founder of KEYPAD shared, “We believe the acquisition of KEYPAD in our fifth year of publishing represents a timely opportunity to expand the magazine’s potential among the influential society under the leadership of Professor Wong. The transition to pass on the baton to Professor Wong came naturally as he has been a loyal friend and supporter of the magazine since our early days.” Professor Patrick Wong advised that the structure of KEYPAD to continue to run its content and business similarly as before, with the added benefit of a stronger team with improved resources, investment expertise, as well as integrating developed digital strategies through Crown One Media. Ushering in the new phase preludes many exciting things to come, including the highly anticipated year’s end celebration of KEYPAD’s 5th Anniversary. ­END­
