Consultancy: Editorial consultancy for publications  
   

Having a magazine or newsletter is a great way of communicating your company’s ideas, both internally and externally. But how can you ensure the money you spend producing it is actually worth it?

 
   

A publications strategy from the outset

It’s one of the hard truths about the business world that when it comes to reducing corporate overheads, marketing will be one of the first casualties.

That’s why it’s critical that if your marketing department is going to invest in a newsletter or magazine you can account for the cost and justify it. Everyone knows that it’s notoriously difficult to measure the value of an investment in marketing collateral. One way to help with this challenge is that you know your newsletter or magazine editorial strategy from the outset.

 

Writing Machine can help you create an strategy which looks at what sort of publication you should produce, how often, to whom and with what content. We would consider whether:

  • You are communicating with new or existing clients
  • Your organisation has a lot of new messages to share
  • Your client base responds well to regular updates
  • Your readers are listening
  • Your company needs to be seen as a ‘thought leader’
  • You want content with a less overtly ‘marketing’ feel
  • You would like some 'independent' content
  • Your publication should be online, printed or both
