 The Database

The single most important element is the Publishing Expo visitor database that is continually being developed and updated. It covers all senior directors and managers across all the publishing disciplines - creative, production, marketing, subscriptions, IT, distribution, editorial, sales, as well as thousands of freelance designers, writers, photographers etc.  It contains not just every major commercial consumer and business to business title in the market but also covers thousands of smaller tiltes, plus a host of companies, associations, local government departments and agencies involved in publishing magazines, newspapers, newsletters, catalogues, brochures, annual reports and directories.This database is by far the most comprehensive, detailed and up to date ever built and forms the bedrock of Publishing Expo's marketing campaign.
