Tempus Magazine, the flagship publication of London-based boutique publishing and design agency Vantage Media, has been shortlisted for two awards in the 2024 BSME Awards – known as the Oscars of the magazine industry.

‍

The accolade marks the fifth year running that luxury lifestyle brand Tempus has been recognised the prestigious awards since joining Vantage Media in 2019.

‍

This year, Tempus art director Ross Forbes has been shortlisted in a new category – Art Director of the Year (Independent) – following his 2023 nomination for Art Director of the Year (Consumer).

‍

Ross says: “Being shortlisted for an Art Director Award by the BSME is incredibly rewarding and validates everything we’re doing to innovate the brand here at Tempus. Our design ethos is all about the seamless marriage of form and function, always aiming for contemporary elegance and timeless inspiration.”

‍

Tempus’s world exclusive photoshoot featuring the Rolls-Royce Spectre has also been nominated for Cover of the Year (Consumer). This is the third year in a row that Tempus has been counted among the best magazine covers in the UK, showcasing its vibrant visual style and unique take on luxury lifestyle.

‍

Michelle Johnson, Editorial Director, says of this year’s nominations: “It’s such an honour for Tempus to be shortlisted in the BSME Awards in multiple categories for our fifth consecutive year.

‍

"I couldn’t be prouder of our dedicated, creative and expert team and contributors who continue to push the boundaries of what a luxury title can be – with fascinating interviews, exclusive features and, of course, powerful design led by Ross. Our Cover of the Year nomination is a testament to how that can come together to create storytelling that can truly surprise and delight our audiences.”

‍

The prestigious awards, created by the British Society of Magazine Editors, celebrate leading titles and talent within the publishing industry.

‍

Vantage acquired Tempus Magazine in late 2018 with the aim of growing the title from a little-known watch and lifestyle magazine into a world-class publication. Since that time, the magazine has featured exclusive photoshoots with Aston Martin for No Time to Die, Bentley for the car marque’s centenary, and Oliver Cheshire for sustainable fashion, in addition to interviewing big names from the world of luxury – including Ryan Gosling, Sir Ridley Scott, Lady Gaga and more.

‍

Tempus is an award-winning luxury lifestyle magazine published quarterly by Vantage Media. It is distributed in five-star hotels, private members’ clubs and transport lounges (including BA Lounge at HeathrowT5 and the Eurostar Business Lounge) across London and beyond.
