Congratulations on your new role, Jade. What does it mean to you to be Folio.YVR’s first Brand Agent?

“Thank you so much. It is truly an honour. Being the first in this role feels both exciting and humbling. Folio.YVR has always set itself apart with its commitment to genuine, refined storytelling. To be entrusted with helping grow that presence, build new relationships, and serve as a face of the brand is a privilege. I see this as an opportunity to bridge the magazine’s creative vision with the business community that fuels the luxury sector.”

You have been part of Folio.YVR for over two years as a Beauty, Health, and Wellness Ambassador. How will you bring that experience into this next phase?

“During my time as an Ambassador, I learned so much about the importance of authenticity and consistency in how we engage with our readers and partners. I have had the chance to attend countless events, connect with remarkable people, and represent the magazine’s values firsthand. Those experiences taught me that luxury is about trust and shared vision. As Brand Agent, I will bring the same dedication to every collaboration and partnership we build.”

Coming in as the magazine approaches its seventh year, does it feel daunting to take on such a visible leadership role?

“It is a little daunting, to be honest! But Helen has laid such an incredible digital bedrock for the magazine. Over the last six months, she has led Folio.YVR through nearly 2,000% growth in online readership and continues to champion the West Coast to the world through licensing deals, syndication, and more. That foundation gives me a lot of confidence. I know I am stepping into a role that has been carefully planned to support the brand’s momentum.”

What kind of voice and presence do you hope to bring to Folio.YVR in this new capacity?

“I want to bring warmth, clarity, and a sense of possibility. My approach is always relationship-focused. Whether I am meeting with a prospective partner or welcoming new readers, I hope to be approachable and genuinely curious about what drives them. I also want to amplify diverse voices and help tell stories that reflect the richness of the West Coast community.”

What excites you most about the future of Folio.YVR?

“There is so much to look forward to. The way the magazine has evolved into a digital powerhouse while staying rooted in quality storytelling is inspiring. I am excited to help expand that reach even further, discover new collaborations, and celebrate the brands and individuals shaping luxury living in British Columbia and beyond.”
