Launched in October 2002, CitySmart Magazine was the brainchild of Brigitte Baroukh, a savvy entrepreneur filled with a zest for life and a true passion for publishing. Building on inspiration from her years in New York, this go-getter dreamed of creating a no-nonsense magazine, offering the best of all worlds; incorporating playful spunk and hard-hitting editorials that would speak to the upscale culture of South Florida.
Her magazine began as an 8 x 8 easy-to-read resource guide for the local community of Coral Springs and Parkland. The response was so impressive that she was able to increase, not only overall circulation, but also the size of the magazine to an 8 x 11 in only six short months. Today, the publication has a regional slant with a readership of over 200,000 and distribution that extends regionally.
The growth has been phenomenal, yet CitySmart has maintained its original quality, integrity and mission. Within CitySmart’s pages, readers will enjoy five sections (City Scope, CityHealth & Wellness, CityStyle, CityLiving and CityEats). Each of these tackle issues from facing business owners today to the latest fashions on the runway, and even the hottest travel destinations. Allow CitySmart’s full Calendar of Events and Dining section to take you where you want to go. Our most recent addition, City Health & Wellness, provides crucial information on cutting-edge technologies in the world of medicine and science, as well as prevention tips for whatever ails you.
