Seminar To Examine Consumer Magazine Market

Following on from last week’s ABC results, MediaTel Group is to host the ‘Future of Consumer Magazines’ in early March, looking at what’s next for the industry.

The session, which will take place in London on Thursday 6 March, boasts the likes of Mike Soutar, chief executive of Shortlist Media, and Duncan Edwards, chief executive of The National Magazine Company, amongst its panel.

Media journalist Ray Snoddy will also sit on the panel for the event, with Torin Douglas, the BBC’s media correspondent, chairing. Further panellists are due to be announced shortly.

The seminar will look at whether publishers can develop significant new revenue streams, with a focus on the strength of online developments.

Topics discussed could include whether publishers and agencies are geared up to grow the print-online sell, and whether H. Bauer’s purchase of Emap will spark industry consolidation.

The future of the free magazines and the digital-only titles should be examined, as well as the ability of magazines to engage the multimedia consumer and persuade agencies to truly value such engagement.

The ‘Future of Consumer Magazines’ will take place at One Great George Street, Westminster, London, SW1P 3AA, between 9:30am and 11.30am on 6 March, with tea and coffee served from 8:45am.
