the digital edition of the magazine can differ from the printed version and it can also include interactive content to further
engage the audience. There are various options listed below which can all be tailored and/or combined to suit your campaign.
Speak with your sales representative about these and anything you or your creative agency may wish to run digitally to
enhance your message, reach your audience and drive traffic to your website.
