About Us

Core Magazine was launched in 2006 to offer local advertisers a full colour, cost-effective alternative to advertising with the local press. An ethos of offering high quality editorial with contemporary presentation was the key factor in quickly establishing Core as the essential monthly lifestyle publication in North Lanarkshire.
This unique combination of superior style/content and high quality advertising, allied to a carefully conceived distribution demographic ensured that Core quickly became the No 1 vehicle for advertisers aiming to increase the profitability of their business and establish product/brand awareness within the locale. Our editorial has a wide-ranging appeal, which includes quality features on Sport, Food & Drink, Entertainment, Fitness, Money, Style and Art, as well as regular celebrity interviews and monthly competitions.
At Core we are also very clear about supporting local business: living and working in the community we have a vested interest in offering local businesses the opportunity to thrive and become successful in an environment that has recently become increasingly precarious. That is why our advertisers are loyal: they not only see the benefits of real QUALITY advertising - they also see the financial returns from advertising in the most popular publication in the area. Core Magazine is beautifully printed on 130gm gloss paper throughout and delivered every month to the Core of the community. Our writers are experts in their particular field: we feature up-to-date music, film and book reviews, have featured exclusive interviews with Clannad, Sharleen Spiteri, Gabrielle, Scarlett Johannson, Al Green, Avril Lavigne, Pete Docherty, Hugh Jackman & Ben Stiller.
What Our Readers Say...
The great thing about Core is that it is all local businesses that are featured. Many of which I have used through reading the magazine.

Being a big music fan I always look forward to the up-to-date music reviews and exclusive interviews, which always seem to be on the pulse.

Core has a great variety of interesting and informative features. The fitness section is of particular interest to me (not forgetting the wine recommendations!).
