The Lab 2016 – Our agency planners share their views on magazine media

The Lab 2016 – Our agency planners share their views on magazine media

Lab logo

THE LAB, in association with Campaign, was designed to create a 360-degree experience of the sector for up-and-coming agency planners via a series of discussions with senior publishing leaders, editors and creative thinkers. Across two half days it offered exclusive behind-the-scenes time for 30 planners at magazine brands, to understand the craft of developing compelling content across print and digital assets.

At the end of The Lab, we asked the planners to reflect on their experiences, and below you’ll find excerpts from a few of the planners in which they discuss what they learnt, their perceptions of magazines’ role in the media mix, and what excites them about the way in which magazine media is evolving for the benefit of advertisers. One of the entrants was picked from the submissions to win a trip to Cannes – well done Anneka.
