Brand Lineage
In 2003, TORO magazine entered into the Canadian marketplace as a glossy men's lifestyle publication. During its print run, TORO garnered a number of accolades for its vision and style. During its four year run, TORO garnered more than 60 National Magazine Award nominations. In 2007, TORO magazine suspended publication – but Black Angus Media, a full-service digital media company that controlled TORO's electronic rights, was interested in continuing its run electronically.
William Morassutti, Editorial Director and Executive Director of TORO magazine, had co-founded Black Angus Media with TORO founder Chris Bratty in order to extend the brand into electronic and digital media. On May 21, 2008, Black Angus Media launched TORO as a web-only publication, TOROMagazine.com.

Famous quotes containing the words brand and/or lineage:
“We should always remember that the work of art is invariably the creation of a new world, so that the first thing we should do is to study that new world as closely as possible, approaching it as something brand new, having no obvious connection with the worlds we already know. When this new world has been closely studied, then and only then let us examine its links with other worlds, other branches of knowledge.”
—Vladimir Nabokov (1899–1977)
“I declare
Two lineages electrify the air,
That will like pennons from a mast
Fly over sleep and life and death
Till sun is powerless to decoy
A single seed above the earth:
Lineage of sorrow: lineage of joy....”
—Philip Larkin (1922–1986)
