Calgary Polo Style magazine launch set
CALGARY, July 29, 2014 — In partnership with the Calgary Polo Club, RedPoint Media & Marketing Solutions is set to launch its newest publication, Calgary Polo Style magazine. The launch will take place Wednesday, July 30, at the Calgary Polo Club in conjunction with the Canadian Open polo competition.
Polo has been played by sporting horsemen (and women) around the world for more than 2,000 years and has been part of the Calgary lifestyle since 1890. The Calgary Polo Club is one of Canada’s largest and North America’s most historic, and its facilities are among the world’s finest.
Calgary Polo Style magazine is an exciting new product bringing the international polo lifestyle to life with content revolving around personalities, luxury living, design, fashion and travel. “Polo is an exciting, high-intensity sport with a devoted local, and global, following,” says RedPoint’s Director of Marketing Solutions, Anders Knudsen.
“We, and our partners at the Calgary Polo Club, felt that the time had come to celebrate polo and the lifestyle that it symbolizes. With this new magazine, we hope we’ve done that.”
The Calgary Polo Club will unveil the new magazine in conjunction with the Canadian Open at an event where VIP guests will be able to watch this very special event.
“Among those competing in the Canadian Open are two Calgarians who are among the world’s top polo players, Fred and Julian Mannix,” says Sue Bird of the Calgary Polo Club. “Fred is Canada’s highest-ranked polo player and one of only two Canadians to ever complete in the Argentine Open Finals — the most prestigious tournament in the world. Julian has had his most successful year, winning the U.S. Open in April 2014, the most high-profile tournament in North America.”
The sport and the style will all come together July 30 in a unique and exclusive celebration of polo and this exciting new publication.
