What Ocean Drive does

Ocean Drive is a luxury lifestyle magazine serving affluent readers in Miami and South Florida, operating under Modern Luxury Media, the parent company that markets itself as the nation's largest luxury media company. The publication covers editorial content across style, beauty and wellness, interiors, food and drink, travel, and living categories, with a geographic focus anchored to Miami Beach's iconic Ocean Drive corridor. Its core product is the print Ocean Drive Magazine, supplemented by an Ocean Drive Digital Edition accessible through Modern Luxury's online viewing platform, and editorial integrations with luxury brand events such as PARAISO Miami Swim Week and hospitality activations like the FIFA World Cup watch party at Seaspice Miami.

The business model is a hybrid of subscription revenue (recurring print and digital magazine subscriptions sold through Modern Luxury's storefront at store.modernluxury.com) and advertising/brand-partnership revenue (sponsored editorial coverage, fashion spreads, event integrations, and styling suites reaching affluent Miami audiences). Distribution is delivered through digital editions, print subscriptions, email newsletters, social media, and event-based marketing channels. The publication benefits from Modern Luxury's broader multi-city network spanning markets such as New York, Los Angeles, Chicago, Las Vegas, and Palm Beach, which provides cross-market distribution leverage. There are no disclosed proprietary technology platforms, APIs, AI/ML capabilities, or mobile applications associated with the brand; the product is fundamentally an editorial media property.

Ocean Drive Magazine operates as a wholly owned publication of Modern Luxury Media with no disclosed independent ownership, venture backing, or founder equity. The firm's operating geography is concentrated in Miami (USA), and its active operating status as of 2026 is evidenced by ongoing editorial coverage and event partnerships. Note: firmographics list the company as based in Atlanta with 1-10 employees, while the detailed source material places the Ocean Drive Magazine headquarters in Miami Beach, Florida, and the company itself was founded in 1993. This description follows the more specific first-party source placing HQ in Miami Beach.
