3. Addictlab services :BRANDS/MAG LAB

ADS ARE CONTENT

Treat your readers with respect.

(addictlab mentioned creative teams, brand, reasonwhy, in the content pages of the magazine)

BRANDS/ADVERTISERS AREPARTNERS, not cm2 buyers.

Addictlab developed an ideation program to create a bridgebetween the needs of the partner/brand/advertiser and thebranding/commercial/editorial needs of the magazine.

Magazines, this way, are creating a link between readers andbrands on a very credible way.

Magazines are building their own identity.

Brands are getting their PR/AD targets and have extra rumouraround the brand/product/branding ideas
