A Professional organization
Evolution Media Group offers its advertisers, publicity and business-to-business bureaus informative trade journals, each of them being the market leader within its respective target groups. This can be accomplished thanks to the professional level of editorials as well as publicity: the purpose of editorials is not only to fill in the gaps between the various advertisements and neither does publicity only exist to enable people to publish a magazine now and then. Each trade journal is published in two separate editions in different languages. This means a total of 170 publications a year (for trade journals and consumer magazines) if you please! It is self-evident that the publishing firm must adhere to a strict organization and needs to respect a stable pattern of publication. And since we control the entire production process – from writing the articles to posting the magazines – , we are able to deliver top-class quality.
