COVID-19 Challenges
Global Media Hub, like most businesses, has had to adapt to these challenging times.
We have a large, experienced skill set within the business and would be delighted to offer any publisher a free health check on copy placement, printing, logistics (air/sea freight, parcel deliveries in the UK and Internationally, mailings, print site pick up and pallet deliveries), or even just to have a chat about the current state of affairs. Please contact Matt (matt@globalmediahub.co.uk) or Steph (steph@globalmediahub.co.uk).
While many elements of publishing are probably on the back burner for now, we’re here if you need us for anything and will continue to be so when things start to return to normal.
While traditional placement channels are virtually in shutdown we have been working with ABC and liaising closely with existing/new networks, ensuring we have alternative solutions to offer our clients which enable them to continue to reach their audience.
Merchandised racks in luxury apartments – We have an impressive portfolio of luxury apartments in London where magazines can be placed on our merchandised racks
Supermarket placement - We have access to merchandised racks in supermarkets across the UK to place both free and retailed product.
Residential Door Drops – We are offering targeted deliveries to homes across London
Delivery with a newspaper - Targeted distribution nationwide with an existing home news delivery that can be profiled against a specific newspaper and be an effective subs marketing exercise.
We have had extensive conversation with ABC to ensure the above distribution opportunities are all ABC compliant so the impact on circulation figures is minimised.
In addition to the above, we have been regularly tracking the situation across the globe and are offering residential deliveries in other countries too where venues are closed. Air-freight rates to the US are currently much higher than normal due to the lack of flights but sea-freight is an option available to us.
Please see https://www.globalmediahub.co.uk/single-post/2020/03/20/COVID-19-Distribution-Update for the latest updates by country.
We have operational warehouses which can help with logistics including Pick and Pack and storage solutions. We are monitoring global coverage daily and can currently offer clients extremely competitive courier services, both in the UK and Internationally.
“The most important factor in all of this is health so we hope everyone is staying safe and well. All our staff have adapted amazingly well, we’re all working from home and utilising Zoom calls for our weekly meetings and keeping up morale. I couldn't be prouder of them working so hard and professionally in the strangest of circumstances.” Steph Hyde, Global Media Hub’s Managing Director.
