About Us

Our readers use our editorial articles – be they reviews, interviews, expert opinions or comments – as reference sources when choosing products and services. The print copies are collected and used for years. Our digital version is an instant source of information via mobile phone, table or desktop. Our print magazine is bi-monthly and available at all major bookstores, supermarkets and newsstands. Browsing copies of our publication can also be found at clubs and associations, hotels and serviced apartments, moving and relocation companies, cafés and restaurants, airline lounges, international schools and the waiting lounges at many spas, beauty salons, medical and dental clinics, and hospitals. Expat Living has a current print run in Hong Kong of 15,000 copies per issue. We also help you reach your target market through our digital platforms such as e-newsletters, direct mailers or display advertising and advertorials on www.expatliving.hk. Through whichever media you choose (and we can help you decide) we can build a marketing package to ensure you reach the right target market and maximise your ad spend.

Welcome to the world of Expat Living!

By incorporating various editorial themes and content options, we give you multiple exposure opportunities. This includes allowing your customers to give their personal endorsements of your product or service. We target newcomers who spend a large portion of their income setting up home here, especially in the first two years of their stay. We are also a favourite with long-term residents who are constantly on the lookout for recommendations in other areas such as travel destinations, wine and dine outlets, education, entertainment, and beauty and health care. Set up by a teamwho understand the needs of people who are away from home and their need for recommendations from peers, Expat Living has become a ‘bible’ to many. It’s the only referral guide that takes the readers into their peers’ homes, letting others share their experiences, preferences and retail choices.
