Our Special Publications program establishes your brand as an industry thought leader through expertly crafted white papers, case studies, special reports, and infographics that inform, engage, and convert. With Connect Media handling everything from content development and design to publishing and targeted promotion, it’s a unique opportunity to put high-impact assets in front of the right audience — without taxing your time, resources, or in-house team.
The sponsor will receive leads weekly for the duration of their agreement. All creative for promotional campaigns will be developed by the Connect Media team using standard templates. The cost may be amortized monthly from the date of completion through the end of the client’s current agreement, up to a maximum of 6 months. Lead cost will be waived if client has a Company Showcase that includes Publication Hosting with LeadGen.
