Join us on a 360° HVAC industry communication journey!
The future is now! The last few years have shown that it is not enough for a trade magazine to be able to do "only" print. So we at HVAC are proud to be able to offer our customers a 360° HVAC communication platform.
Behind the strong print brand - for over 55 years, the HVAC industry has placed its trust in us here - are strong online channels, such as our HVAC homepage and the HVAC newsletter, as well as Linkedin, webinars, video productions and the HVAC podcast. All SEO-optimised, of course!
But 360° is also about personal dialogue. This is where we bring the industry together with clients and decision-makers at our HVAC Day.
As you can see, with HLK you can reach your target group 360°, pursue your communication goals and thereby increase your company's success! "Let's build, intensify or continue a give and take together - that means living cooperation in economically challenging as well as more cosy times."

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 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!
