FT. LAUDERDALE, FL--(Marketwired - Sep 1, 2015) - Multimedia Platforms Inc. (OTCQB: MMPW) ("MMPW" or the "Company"), the only LGBTQ publicly traded media company, today announced the re-launch of New York's leading gay lifestyle weekly resource NEXT Magazine ("NEXT") which began publishing in 1993 and today has over 50,000 weekly print readers, 120,000 monthly on-line unique visitors, 14,000 Twitter followers and 75,000 fans on Facebook.

Bobby Blair, Chief Executive Officer of Multimedia Platforms, commented, "I am incredibly proud of our talented and committed industry leading team members who have created one of the best LGBT entertainment magazines in the world. I was excited to visit, share time with this amazing team and interact with some of New York's most respected and well known community members and leaders."

After months of meticulous planning and brainstorming, a new chapter for NEXT officially began on Wednesday evening, August 26th at its Re-launch Party New York City. A mixed crowd of writers, drag performers, artists, musicians, and nightlife luminaries gathered in the packed studio space to celebrate the exciting changes coming to NEXT.

"The new NEXT is all about self-improvement," said Editor-In-Chief, John Russell. "This new issue is our most ambitious and dynamic style issue yet. We are going to feature new columns on fitness, dining, sex, relationships, grooming, and everything else readers need to know about being their best selves. We are aiming to be a well-rounded publication that's about the total life, not just nightlife. Part of this well-roundedness includes a heightened focus on queer style and fashion."

NEXT's new publisher, Kevin Hopper of Multimedia Platforms, agreed. "We wanted to bring a higher sense of style to NEXT with the goal of someday being the gay man's Vogue. In addition to the revamps in fashion and lifestyle, the new NEXT also aims to give back to the community. We want to raise our level of community involvement, and hope to do so by participating in and sponsoring more events."
