From the editor:
What can we do for the ‘over-solicited’ Professional Con-
sumer?
The din made by the media is getting louder, the number of
information providers is multiplying exponentially, the profu-
sion of messages is creating more confusion than clarity, and
the Professional Consumers’ attention is chronically over-so-
licited. Effective messaging requires strategy, integration and
targeting.
In order to raise your message above the din you need to give the Consumer not only what they want, but
what they need. Speaking as a Professional Consumer and as a supplier to the Professional Consumer for
over 8 years, I can tell you that what this industry’s customer wants is accurate, timely information about the
products they need to do help them produce results and achieve their professional goals. They want a com-
prehensive guide to the products you sell and the products in your pipeline. They want, if not a window to the
future, then at least a clear view of the present and a source of information about your company’s direction.
These production and post-production professionals understand that unless they keep current their success is
in jeopardy…and they are right.
Media2media provides this service for the Professional Consumer. We deliver the information they require ev-
erywhere they want to find it; in print, aggregated online and in an opt-in email. We have created a thought-
ful solution that integrates the new with the old and the push with the pull, making your impression a memo-
rable and valuable one.
