Custom Media - An Introduction

What if rather than simply plugging your products and services anywhere and everywhere through traditional ads, you could earn the loyalty and respect of your customers by building a real relationship?  What if through that relationship your customers would regard you as their vendor of choice when making their next purchase?

Wikipedia defines Custom Media as a marketing term referring broadly to the development, production and delivery of media (print, digital, audio, video and events) designed to strengthen the sponsor of the medium and the medium's audience. Custom media is also often referred to as branded media, customer media, member media, content marketing, and custom publishing.

The world has changed and consumers are now in control of their information choices. Traditional media channels such as direct marketing, print, television, and web ads simply are not enough anymore. To effectively deliver your message and story you need to own your media channel, not just rent space on someone else's.

Specialized custom media distribution channels like custom magazines, websites, blogs, e-newsletters, webcasts, and social communities allow you to engage your audience with compelling content in a format they prefer and at a time and place where they will be receptive to your marketing message.

Providing valuable content to your customer not only builds a sense of community around your brand, but also allows your customers to be a part of a conversation surrounding your product. Tapping the power of custom media will yield a return on marketing investment far surpassing those of traditional media channels.
