Our extensive background as journalists and as the authors of two business books gives us the ability to work across a range of activities, from writing article/blogs/whitepapers to websites, newsletters and books to 140-character tweets. We help ensure that what is produced gets its message across clearly and succinctly, whatever the channel or platform.
Newsletters and magazines
We have published and/or contributed to a range of newsletters and magazines over the years. Apart from Haymarket titles, these include:
- In Depth is a pocket-sized journal, published twice a year for the Association for Qualitative Research, which tackles ideas and issues pertinent to the qualitative research community and society at large, but with a qualitative slant.
- In Brief is In Depth’s sister publication, a bi-monthly magazine, designed to provide members with relevant news, issues and trends relating to qualitative research and commissioned from well known names inside and outside the industry.
- Contact was Royal Mail’s award-winning B2B quarterly magazine, which provided insights on the issues of the day so as offer marketing solutions to its business audience.
- Platform, a beautifully-designed monthly magazine, gave sponsors and sponsored an up-to-the-minute review of current deals and in depth coverage of the strategy behind successful business sponsorships.
Books
We have written and/or compiled and edited a number of books for the business community. These include:
- Conversations with Marketing Masters, Laura Mazur and Louella Miles, Wiley, 2007. We explored, with some of the some of the world’s most influential marketing gurus of our time, the ideas that made them famous, their views on the current state of marketing and their personal journeys.
