- Magazines offer you engaged audiences.
The power of a media brand affects the brands that advertise in it. That’s why your ad will benefit from the trust that the magazine has built with its readers. - Brands use magazines’ creative possibilities to stand out.
An ad you can smell or taste? A packshot that glows in the dark? In magazines anything that tickles the five senses is possible! - Magazine-makers are storytellers by nature.
They are pioneers and experts in keeping the right balance between editorial and commercial content. This is where native advertising fits in your content strategy. People love beautiful stories. And for a brand it’s great to be part of such a story. - Magazine ads are not intrusive: readers see them as complementary info.
The word “magazine” is derived from the French word “magasin”, a place of commerce where customers take the initiative. A shop is inspiring and not intrusive. No wonder then that magazines are the most trusted medium for consumers. - Cross-media solutions in magazine media enhance ROI substantially.
The cross-media approach of magazine publishers offers you more chances to reach your target groups via different platforms.

‘Chair’ Session
How important are local media in today’s media landscape?
Trust in local media is still relatively high in Belgium. But are the local media able to tap into this momentum and claim their role as a credible, trusted voice? The big question for the public is who they can trust today, as a source of information ánd with their data. The fourth power is crucial to our democracy. Free press is the bedrock of our freedom of expression and controls the political and judicial powers. For advertisers strong local media could well be the best way to combat fraud and brand insecurity. Our host, Danny Devriendt will discuss all aspects with his guests.
