topic


If you are an executive or marketing manager at a company focusing on fast-moving consumer goods, then you are most probably a subscriber to The Grosser or Retail Week. If you work in advertising, then you surely read Advertising Age. You probably also read many other specialized issues, visit their websites and receive their newsletters. You do this because they publish news, analyses, research and opinions, timely, detailed and in depth. This helps you in your work, makes you faster and better at what you do. Specialised media give you the information you need.

The main purpose of business-to-business media is to help business professionals in their development by satisfying their need for quality specialised information. In the last few years these media have been more and more successful in this, thanks to the boom in their development as multimedia platforms combining the main formats of business-to-business media, print, online and special events.

B2B media are one of the main sources of information in the business world. You will find out that media market research around the world shows surprising and sometimes unexpected trends about the position and use of B2B media. Kai Helfritz, executive director of the Academy at the Union of German Magazine Publishers will present the role and essence of B2B media as information source in contemporary B2B communication channels.

90% of managers in Germany, 80% of those in the USA and 80% in Bulgaria use B2B media as the main source of information in their work.

How has the media market been changing in last years after the expansion of the internet? How do information channels change and how managers make decisions to find new business opportunities and partners?
You will get answers based on surveys and data about B2B media. Advertising in specialised media offers practical and useful information.

The main advantage of specialised media advertising is the high practical value of their contents.

Thanks to the synergy between the edition’s content and the context of the advertisements an effect, hardly achievable with other media is possible.

Rafal Oracz, executive director at CR Media Consulting will present the advantages and the role of advertising messages in B2B media, including the value of the information in them, and the optimum planning of the advertising budget in view of achieving 100% of the target audience.

B2B press is the best example of how the adequacy of information could influence the perception of the advertising message. This is the only segment of the publishing market where press is bought for the advertisements because of their highly informative nature.

The readers of specialised editions are more loyal and value the information they offer. Companies willing to advertise have the opportunity to reach the engaged, rational decision-maker in the face of the reader, who treats advertisements and promotional messages as practically useful information.

If you wish to learn how to achieve optimum efficiency for your advertising messages, please confirm your participation in the seminar organised by Economedia with the support of ARA Bulgaria,

„The Power of Business-to-Business Communication. How to be more efficient“,

which will take place on June 11, 2008 in the Holiday Inn hotel, Business Park Sofia.
