Founder's Note
"The future of content isn't choosing between soul and speed — it's having both. That's why I built Blake Phillips."
Blake Phillips is led by Phillipe Blake, founder of The Urbanite and The Big Curious— Brisbane's growing lifestyle and culture magazines. With over a decade bridging traditional filmic craft and an intimate knowledge of what Brisbane audiences respond to, Phillipe built Blake Phillips to answer one question: what happens when editorial integrity meets a modern publishing platform? The result is a media business that gives Brisbane brands something advertising alone can't: a real place in the story.
