Lifestyle Media Group Snags 10 Charlie Awards Slots From the Florida Magazine Association

Three monthly magazines published by Lifestyle Media Group have been recognized in nine categories as Charlie Award finalists—for a total of 10 awards—by the Florida Magazine Association. Each magazine will be honored with either a first (Charlie), second (silver), or third (bronze) prize for each citation.

South Florida Business & Wealth (sfbwmag.com) nabbed five finalist spots, including in the top categories of Best Overall Design, Best Overall Writing and Best Magazine Website. SFBW also was recognized in the Best Design/Feature and the Best Design/Department categories.

Tampa Bay Business & Wealth (tbbwmag.com), which also earned a finalist slot in the Best Design/Department category, was cited for Best Photography/Single Department Image.

Finally, Las Olas Lifestyle (lmgfl.com) scored three finalist positions: Best Design/Use of Photography, Best Photography/Single Feature Image, and Best Writing/Department.

“After sitting out last year’s Charlie Awards, Lifestyle Media Group has come back with a roar,” said LMG Chairman Gary Press. “Our magazines, which have never looked or read better, have had an amazing year, and this is a fine tribute to our stellar editorial and design departments, as well as to our talented contributing photographers. This shows that our powerful print and digital content—as well as our robust events schedule—continue to lead the conversation across the state.”

LMG publishes South Florida Business & Wealth, Tampa Bay Business & Wealth and a suite of seven Lifestyle publications: Las Olas Lifestyle, InWeston Lifestyle, West Broward Lifestyle (serving Plantation, Davie, Pembroke Pines and West Miramar), Parkland/Coral Springs Lifestyle (also serving Coconut Creek), Boca Raton/Delray Beach Lifestyle, Doral Lifestyle (also serving Pinecrest and Coral Gables) and Aventura Lifestyle (also serving Hallandale Beach and Sunny Isles). LMG also publishes the annual directory South Florida Legal Guide.

The Charlie Awards, sponsored annually by the Florida Magazine Association, will be held during the Florida Media Conference at Sawgrass Marriott Golf Resort & Spa in August.

Drew Limsky

Editor-in-Chief

BIOGRAPHY

Drew Limsky joined Lifestyle Media Group in August 2020 as Editor-in-Chief of South Florida Business & Wealth. His first issue of SFBW, October 2020, heralded a reimagined structure, with new content categories and a slew of fresh visual themes. “As sort of a cross between Forbes and Robb Report, with a dash of GQ and Vogue,” Limsky says, “SFBW reflects South Florida’s increasingly sophisticated and dynamic business and cultural landscape.”

Limsky, an avid traveler, swimmer and film buff who holds a law degree and Ph.D. from New York University, likes to say, “I’m a doctor, but I can’t operate—except on your brand.” He wrote his dissertation on the nonfiction work of Joan Didion. Prior to that, Limsky received his B.A. in English, summa cum laude, from Emory University and earned his M.A. in literature at American University in connection with a Masters Scholar Award fellowship.

Limsky came to SFBW at the apex of a storied career in journalism and publishing that includes six previous lead editorial roles, including for some of the world’s best-known brands. He served as global editor-in-chief of Lexus magazine, founding editor-in-chief of custom lifestyle magazines for Cadillac and Holland America Line, and was the founding editor-in-chief of Modern Luxury Interiors South Florida. He also was the executive editor for B2B magazines for Acura and Honda Financial Services, and he served as travel editor for Conde Nast. Magazines under Limsky’s editorship have garnered more than 75 industry awards.

He has also written for many of the country’s top newspapers and magazines, including The New York Times, Washington Post, Los Angeles Times, Miami Herald, Boston Globe, USA Today, Worth, Robb Report, Afar, Time Out New York, National Geographic Traveler, Men’s Journal, Ritz-Carlton, Elite Traveler, Florida Design, Metropolis and Architectural Digest Mexico. His other clients have included Four Seasons, Acqualina Resort & Residences, Yahoo!, American Airlines, Wynn, Douglas Elliman and Corcoran. As an adjunct assistant professor, Limsky has taught journalism, film and creative writing at the City University of New York, Pace University, American University and other colleges.
