TASTE ... beyond print(And a little sneaky)
Chameleon qualities

...as we move beyond making magazines or
newspapers, we will find different audiences
on different channels. But what they all have
in common is that they trust what we have to
say. What a privileged position to be in!

… what are the users saying?
I am thrilled that Woolies are finally onboard
...with a recipe site. Unfortunately I can no longer afford to subscribe to your magazine
– it breaks my heart but there you go ...thank you it’s wonderful you are finally
willing to share your secrets with us.
LOVE the new website! Am creating my online recipe book as I type this! What a
treat
I would just like to congratulate you on a fabulous website. I spend a lot of time
“surfing” and find your site the best by far. No matter what I am looking for, the
information can be easily obtained without any annoying unwanted pop-ups.
What an incredible creation. I cannot express to you how fabulous I think your site is. At first glance, I had thought it may turn out to be just another website that looks great but is revolting in terms of actual functionality.
But this site seems to keep all of the promises it makes to the eye. I LOVE the online recipe book and its interactivity. The entire site is just a well-oiled machine. What clever people you are! Keep up the good work- please!
The sneaky – “Appropriate-ness”

more on

Lessons learned
• It’s you … or someone else• One-dimensional brands are over• Don’t miss out on opportunities to interact
•Custom publishers understand•Most importantly, it’s what the readers wanted.
A beautiful match
The right custom publisher can help marketers and brand managers do their
jobs better .
They are consumed with how best to relay a message, engage better, inspire more
and communicate effectively.
Print versus online
Questions, comments and arbitrary chit-chat?
Thank you.
