About MediaWorks 360

Mediaworks 360 and our story

MediaWorks 360’s Story

Prior to starting MediaWorks 360, as senior executives in the publishing industry we witnessed the volatility and risks that brands carry by continuing with ‘business as usual’. Over time, companies prioritized short-term dependency on advertising revenue to the detriment of their long-term viability so we began mapping out strategies to combat this paradigm. We developed a logical digital extension for brands to utilize their assets like never before.  This work was the genesis of our proven membership strategy.

Our award-winning, proven membership strategy creates an opportunity for brands to bundle their assets into premium-priced subscription – creating a deeper relationship with their users and increasing their wallet share.

As the legacy media landscape changes, we recognize the need to focus on bottom-line results. We help our clients save money and operate more efficiently through consulting and outsourcing in print circulation and retail distribution.
