Publishers
Albion Life is the first Emerxing title. The model is built to be repeated by people who already know their neighbourhood.
The proposition
A community magazine fails for boring reasons: no system for selling, no standard for what gets printed, no way to keep the books straight, and one person doing all of it until they stop.
Emerxing exists to remove those reasons. You bring the local knowledge, the relationships and the willingness to knock on doors. We bring the format, the design system, the editorial standard, the advertising agreement, the content system and the print and distribution arrangements.
What you get
Design system, departments, editorial standard and the rules about what may be printed.
Rate card, advertising agreement, category exclusivity rules and the sales conversation that goes with them.
The content system, the website, lead capture and the reporting — the same ones we use.
Arrangements already negotiated, so your first issue is not your first negotiation.
A publisher who has done it, on the end of a phone.
What we ask
These are conditions of taking part, recorded in the publisher agreement.
The single biggest predictor of a title that lasts
Recorded on the agreement
We would rather say no early than launch a title that stops after three issues. A magazine that disappears damages the businesses that backed it.
