In just three short years, Asian Premier Magazine (APM) has become a staple in Orange County’s cultural landscape. Founded with a mission to spotlight the vibrant stories of the Asian community, under the leadership of Dr Chuck Le, Dr Quan Tran, and Businessman Michael K Pham, APM has rapidly grown from a niche publication to a mainstream powerhouse. It showcases stories that connect with a diverse audience while celebrating heritage, innovation, and success.
A Rising Star in Orange County
APM was launched with a vision: to highlight the achievements, voices, and perspectives of the Asian American community in Orange County. What began as a local project quickly gained traction as readers resonated with the magazine’s authentic storytelling, high-quality visuals, and unique perspective. By connecting readers to influential voices in business, entertainment, and community leadership, APM has made an impact not only on Asian American readers but also on a broader audience who value multicultural narratives.
Over the past three years, APM has published in-depth interviews with entrepreneurs, artists, and philanthropists whose work has influenced communities locally and beyond. Through its dedicated editorial team and strategic distribution, APM has consistently expanded its reach. Each issue captures the essence of a flourishing community, featuring everything from new trends in Asian art and cuisine to profiles of prominent business leaders and change-makers.
APM’s unique blend of community-focused journalism and mainstream appeal has made it one of the fastest-growing magazines in the region. With each issue, circulation has increased, drawing advertisers and partners eager to connect with an influential and engaged readership.
Going Mainstream
As APM steps into its next chapter, it is transitioning into mainstream circulation, poised to become the go-to publication for those interested in Orange County’s diverse culture and thriving Asian American community. This move into the mainstream reflects APM’s commitment to elevating underrepresented voices and expanding its readership to embrace all demographics. Through distribution partnerships and strategic placements, APM is now reaching a wider audience in high-traffic locations, including major shopping malls, business districts, and cultural centers throughout Orange County.
This shift underscores APM’s evolution from a niche magazine to an essential resource for anyone interested in the cultural richness and entrepreneurial spirit of Orange County. Going mainstream also means more opportunities for advertisers to reach a discerning, culturally connected audience.
