Magazines
that work
Magazines can be an extremely effective communication media, but they work best when they have a clear understanding of their target audience.
Just think of your own reading habits to identify the magazines that matter to you, and what makes you want to read them.
We focus on understanding your organisation and your target audience, so that we can create a magazine that your audience will want to read and that is also an effective communication vehicle for you.
Whether you are a business trying to talk to a specific customer group, or an institution or government body talking to group of users or members, our aim is to create a magazine that will get your message across to the people you want to reach.
Experience in
contract publishing
Creating a successful magazine requires a combination of skills, all of which are essential if the magazine is to deliver effective communication between you and your customers.
The Boxout team includes professionals with experience in all aspects of contract publishing and including: editorial, advertising sales, magazine design and distribution, and magazine production, so we can deliver a complete service from concept development to final distribution.
A cost-effective solution
As Boxout isn't based in central London, we don't charge central London prices, but we do deliver worldclass standards of service.
Our aim is to work in partnership with you to create a magazine that really meets your needs, but that can be delivered at a reasonable cost.
