We Love Print. media
At We Love Print. media we work with independent publishers to access media agencies and brands. We achieve this by speaking directly with brands to showcase the enhanced targeted engagement that comes with independent magazines. Alongside this we group publishers with a similar target demographic and sell to agencies with a grouped circulation.
By also having access to our distribution and promotion channels we can create bespoke campaigns that feature targeted geographic circulation and retail presence. An example being a publication cover takeover alongside a co-branded retail window promotion and additional copy coverage in a key city.
