Meet the Media: Marketing Magazine

Public relations and marketing practitioners who like to catch up with the latest marketing happenings, trends, insights and ideas across the region will be pleased to read Marketing as they see the relevant, valuable and interesting content. Suffice to say, it’s on their regular reading (RR) list!

What is the Marketing magazine?

Launched in early 2002, Marketing magazine is highly circulated (with a print readership of more than 100,000) and is so far the longest running trade publication in the Asia-Pacific, reaching out to all marketing and advertising related professionals.

Marketing magazine works in concert with its online e-newsletter Marketing Daily, its portal marketing-interactive.com and many live events. The publication has three key markets – Hong Kong, Singapore and Malaysia, and each market has fully staffed editorial operations, which gives them the reach and access to local markets that none of their competitors can match. In Hong Kong, this is even more pronounced where they have a bilingual publication and also host events in Cantonese.

How to reach the Marketing editors and when?

Matt says phone is always the best option, he can be reached at: +852 2861 1882 / matte@marketing-interactive.com.  For Singapore, you can contact Rayana Pandey at: +65 6423 0329 / rayanap@marketing-interactive.com “We are a 24-hour news operations, so anytime is fine. We publish every day at around noon so for news, anytime before 11 works.”

Any tips when pitching a story to Marketing? 

“This is probably true for any type of PR pitch – take some time to understand what we do. But we are always open to pitches from PR, media, creative, marketing, social, or digital marketers and agencies”, Matt concluded.
