FACTORY

THE VIEW IN THE TECHNOLOGY

MEDIA DATA 2024

Achieve topic leadership with our FACTORY communication channels!

Our leitmotif "We bring the industry together" has more meaning than ever, because FACTORY is the only Austrian communication platform that deals comprehensively with all trades in the manufacturing industry and does so on all channels: print, online, LinkedIn, podcast platforms such as Spotify and video channels such as Youtube and, of course, at our live events.
That's what we call true 360° communication.

The Austrian production landscape is holding its own in the face of major challenges such as a shortage of skilled workers, delivery problems and rising energy costs. The most important recipe for sustainable success is innovation. This is where you come in, dear suppliers. In the quest for efficient manufacturing processes, automation of consistent procedures and resource-saving production, decision-makers look to us for solutions. As a source of information for future-oriented manufacturing companies, the trade medium FACTORY plays an essential role. Readers trust us because of our journalistic independence and our technical understanding. We convey these values both in the print magazine, which continues to be strong, and in the increasingly important online offerings. The digital portfolio ranges from classic newsletter ads and advertorials to contributions on relevant social media channels to podcast and TV productions. We have the tools and the reach - deliver your content to us! FACTORY is the technology magazine for the manufacturing industry. We provide executives with the decisive technical information for manufacturing and production. We understand decision-makers and offer a holistic view of engineering, industries, trends and technology. 

Put your communication goals in our hands, because we understand decision-makers.

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 News / 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). 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!
