The Man Behind Mann

Mann’s Evolution: the process in which Mann Publications went from being a small newsletter-type publication to a massive nine magazines distribution.

Jeff Mann, president and executive editor of Mann Publications, had already built and maintained successful apparel and real estate businesses when, 13 years ago, he saw a void in the market for coverage of the real people behind the scenes in the Garment Center. He created Fashion Mannuscript, which started as a 4-page newsletter and has since “evolved” into a monthly magazine distributed throughout the country, with extensive photo coverage of important industry events, informative columns by experts in the community, and profiles of the people and companies at the top of all industry-related fields.

With the success of Fashion Mannuscript came the idea of an expansion. Mr. Mann decided he would tackle the real estate market when he launched The Mann Report in the Spring of 1998. The success of both titles has created room for The Mann Report Residential, Mann About Town, a Jewish lifestyles magazine, and Mann On The Street, a Wall Street/ Financial industry magazine. Fashion Mannuscript itself has evolved into five regionals: West, Pacific Northwest, Southeast, Southwest,
and Midwest.

In 2005 Mr. Mann along with his wife Ann, and his two brothers created The Mann Foundation, an organization which funds the Alzheimer’s Disease Research Center at Mount Sinai—together working toward a cure for Alzheimer’s Disease.
