As the UK starts gearing up for parliamentary elections, the Monocle Weekly examines the political branding tactics being used to win votes with Ivor Gaber, professor of political campaigning at City University, London. We also talk to the 23-year-old entrepreneur Martin Halstead as his new airline takes off and check in with culture editor Rob Bound, who's been basking on the bonnets at the Geneva Auto Show. Finally Enrique Ruiz de Lera from the Spanish Ministry of Tourism reveals the thinking behind Spain's new tourism campaign and how he hopes it will capture the attention of the Asian market.

The Monocle Weekly is a mix of smart discussion, previews, field reports and feature interviews. From our studio in London and our bureaux in Tokyo and New York, Monocle's editors focus on the horizon and explore the looming stories within the five areas that define our editorial agenda: global affairs, business, culture, design and consumer culture.

Hosted by editor in chief Tyler Brûlé, The Monocle Weekly also offers fresh angles on stories in the current issue and delivers in-depth follow-ups from past assignments. Culture editor Robert Bound is a regular with his weekly playlist of artists established and obscure.

Editor Andrew Tuck pulls in contributions from our correspondents in far flung corners and moderates debates. And from Tokyo and New York editors Fiona Wilson and Ann Marie Gardner deliver features and perspectives from Asia and the Americas.
