Media, publishing and advertising are complex, fast moving industries. It’s becoming increasingly important for different companies to operate across a range of mediums (print, digital, mobile) and target markets simultaneously. As result of this rapid change management teams in many organisations are losing visibility over key metrics, clients, and resources. What does it take to win in this dynamically changing landscape and what are the ‘winners’ doing to sustain their success? We’ll look at three key areas.
- Growth: We will take an in depth look at challenges of growth for media and publishing companies. Limited availability of key information is dramatically slowing down management decision making. We’ll look at the best way to maximise business agility and take advantage of new opportunities presented by the market.
- International expansion: Further difficulties are faced by companies trying to expand their international presences. They must adapt not just to different regulations and practices, but to new audience with different interests and values. We will look at the key hurdles you will have to negotiate to make your international expansion a success.
- Allocation of resources: Many companies in the media and publishing space still do not have a clear view of their key metrics and revenue generators. Notoriously some digital media companies are still unable to track the main sectors that advertise with them. With greater visibility you can allocate far more effectively. For instance, you can focus your sales teams on the most profitable targets all the time. By doing so you can increase profits and maximise return-on-assets.
The discussion will take place in the Haymarket Hotel’s newly refurbished Nash Dining Room with networking being served at the spectacular pool area.
