What is the plan for the next 5 years? What do you want to achieve?
As a publishing company with five magazines covering every corner of the globe we want each of them to increase their circulation to over 1 million subscribers. With a strong focus on leadership it will come as no surprise that our circulation for each publication is already at 500,000 – 700,000 per month and predominately reaches top executives across many industry sectors.
What is the biggest challenge you’ve faced so far?
As a publishing company, the biggest challenge has been the global economical climate as well as Covid-19. Businesses reduce their marketing budget and some even stop advertising as their strategies change to suit the current climate.
As a business we tailor our advertising rates to suit and make sure that we offer a very competitive advertising rate to support current clients and new. I fully believe in our products and trust that businesses that work with us will benefit and be shown in the best light to our readers.
