What we do

We know that true brand engagement relies on us knowing your customers, speaking their language and offering them something special.

At New Media, we create content that starts beautiful conversations with your customers, in whichever channel they choose – from print to web to mobile to video to plasma.

Our award-winning creative-content teams include highly regarded specialist journalists and creatives in the fields of food, décor, fashion, motoring, health, technology and business, plus we regularly call on South Africa’s top freelance writers and photographers. Together we create quality, credible content that fits into your marketing strategy and strengthens your brand.

Print publishing
Home to some of South Africa’s top print-media professionals, New Media has built its reputation on producing beautiful publications, from monthly magazines to once-off brochures. We have won more awards over the past 12 years than any other publishing house in the country – and that makes us very proud.

Digital media
Our experienced digital team works alongside the editorial teams to deliver thoroughly engaging experiences, via a multitude of ever-evolving digital channels, ensuring we remain true to your brand.

Corporate communications
It’s not only about talking to customers– we’re good at communicating within companies too. We produce several internal communications for blue-chip clients across different platforms, from printed magazines to e-newsletters to rich-content digital magazines – whichever is the best way to reach your people.

Food-content production
We love eating and cooking. And drinking. Which is probably why we’ve become experts at producing food content and styling in Eat Out, Eat In, food styling for AOL and Woolworths Taste magazines, plus videos, websites and foodie apps. We’re hooked into the local chef-restaurant-foodie networks, and we can share that with your customers.

Advertising sales
Our highly driven sales team – one of few in South Africa to have exceeded targets during the recession – specialises in sourcing brand-appropriate ads, whatever the medium. The revenue they generate can help offset your costs.

In-house repro
Our team sets the highest standards in terms of image resolution, colour and clarity. They specialise in retouching, deep-etching, high-resolution scanning, colour balancing and colour proofs, plus they handle the entire production process.

Photography
New Media has its own in-house Photographic Studio with two full-time photographers on hand to shoot for every medium at highly competitive rates.

Events
Here’s where media consumers – your customers – become content-makers. To date we have co-ordinated parenting, décor and fashion workshops for clients nationally; the annual Eat Out and SA Fresh Produce Awards; golf days; tailor-made team-building getaways; formidable year-end functions and launch parties for new publications.

In 2010, HIP2B² magazine became one of South Africa’s – and the world’s – only fully open-source magazines. The brand is committed to the belief that knowledge is free, and with this in mind, learners and teachers are able to download everything in the magazine (articles and images), and then use, share and modify it all for lesson plans, school projects, etc – as long as it’s for non-commercial use and the source is credited.

HIP2B² is distributed to around 1 000 South African schools.
