Magnate is a digital men's lifestyle publication.
Originally a print publication, the magazine launched on December 12, 2012. The launch edition of the magazine was distributed on Friday December 14, 2012 throughout London's Kings Cross, Victoria, Liverpool Street and Paddington Railway stations and throughout office locations in Central London.
In mid-2013 it was announced that Magnate would be distributed exclusively to distribution stands in the capital, replacing all train station distribution.
The publication launched with a cover-interview with Virgin founder Sir Richard Branson, speaking about Virgin Galactic. The headline of the cover read "Branson on Mars". Other cover-stars have included cast member of E4's Made in Chelsea Jamie Laing and British rapper Wretch 32.
Since launch, Magnate has published a number of interviews, including those with Boris Johnson, SB.TV founder Jamal Edwards, Matt Cardle and Jonathan Kite.
By late 2016 the editor had moved on to new ventures and the magazine had stopped dead in its tracks with no explanation. Always seemed odd that there was so little interaction with 'readers' even when articles and content improved markedly but it seems to have ended without even a whimper.
