EDITORIAL

 

Telemedia publications are where media, advertising, marketing, branding, content and service conjoin with fixed, mobile and online communications, the service provider and billing industries.

Increasingly, ‘traditional’ media and marketing executives are looking to harness the power of telecommunications to develop new, interactive services that increase brand awareness and develop audience loyalty, while generating user data that can be used for further marketing and advertising efforts.

At the centre of this new world of media services sits the telemedia industry, which combines:

  • Fixed & Mobile Network Operators
  • Service Providers & Aggregators
  • Billing Networks & Service Platforms
  • Technology Providers & Application Innovators
  • Content Owners & Media Groups
  • Advertising, Branding & Marketing

Our editorial bring these worlds together and demonstrates how, in partnership each drives the other forward.

Featuring case studies and issue based editorial, Telemedia gets right behind the innovators in both industries and offers the one-stop-shop for the latest thought leadership and opinion in technology, regulation, billing, and media needs and demands.

Our publishing team has worked together since 1995 launching Voice International, Computer Telephony Europe, Call Centre Focus and COM Europe magazines to name but a few. The editor, Paul Skeldon has an unrivalled reputation for producing informed and lively editorial with a genuinely commercial focus.
