360° COMMUNICATION

In order to disseminate your content in analogue as well as digital form in a target group-specific way, we design and produce content according to the "360° communication method". Thus, an article - online as well as in the print magazine - is not only published as text, but also highlighted in the form of TV news, videos as well as podcast episodes. 

On our magazine platform, your content can be found in multiple and multimedia formats. But that's not all! We also offer your content pieces in the form of posts, reels and stories on our social media channels.

Thinking about content holistically and distributing it via multimedia

1. print

Example: Abridged version of an interview with a CEO/GF in the magazine (video is recorded in parallel or extra).

2. online

Full version of the interview in the online article, plus link to the podcast on Multimedia Stage, where the full-length video is embedded.

3. TV / Video

Video excerpt as a feature in the TV news or as a stand-alone video on the Multimedia Stage with intro/outro.

 

4. social media

The video is posted as a snippet (max. 60 sec.) on the magazine's social media channels (LinkedIn, Facebook or Instagram). Depending on the target group, stories, reels or collab postings are also possible.

5. podcast

The audio track is edited as a podcast and provided with a professional jingle and recorded intro and published on the magazine platform.

6. events

Live is live and this is more true than ever. Meet experts, industry colleagues and future customers at our top-class congresses, conferences and round-table discussions. Target group-specific and very close!
