Magazine advertising isn’t dead, but the spark of creativity is fading fast!

When you flick through the pages of your sector’s leading trade magazine, are you greeted by a sea of advertising sameness? You’re not alone.

Does this sound familiar; a prominent three-quarter product image, a headline that’s all tell and no sell, a laundry list of features, and a jumbo logo that screams, “We’re here!?”

Sure, sticking to the formula might make you feel like you’re in the game. But to win, you need your brand to stand out. And in a sea of lookalike ads, creative magazine advertising is your competitive edge.

Right now, the bar  for advertising creativity is low. But that means there’s massive opportunity. Imagine the impact of a standout ad campaign that breaks convention, tells a story, and actually grabs attention.

What an opportunity for a progressive-thinking brand! Is this you?

Picture this: a headline so captivating it stops readers in their tracks, an eye-catching  image that tells a compelling brand story in seconds, and a message that lingers long after the magazine is closed.

At the heart of great print advertising is one thing: an IDEA!

Ditch tired product descriptions for the catalogues. Instead, focus on headlines that spark curiosity and demand attention. Because in innovative print ads, nailing the headline is half the battle.

And don’t stop at print. Great ideas will travel. What works powerfully on paper often thrives across digital and traditional media too. The reverse? Not always.

Worried you don’t have an in-house team of creatives. No worries. Some of the best advertising ideas come from fresh perspectives. Playing it safe in today’s competitive landscape means fading into the background.
