Advertising in AV
For 39 years AV has led the industry with its informed mix of news, analysis and comment. Today the magazine has a portfolio of unrivalled products that connects more than 37,000 key personnel in the AV community from manufacturer to end-user. In an industry as diverse and as fast-moving as AV, keeping up
with new developments is a tough challenge – that’s why AV is an essential advertising tool for everyone who is serious about the UK and European AV industry.
AV Magazine (UK only)
At least three things make AV Magazine very different to its competition.
It is the ONLY publication in this sector with an ABC verified circulation, which means we can guarantee that our monthly readership of 18,074 AV professionals is accurate and independently verified. We are the only pro-AV publication that can give you the assurance that you’re advertising is reaching your target audience. It is the ONLY AV communications title in Europe that covers all aspects of professional AV — including event and video production, rental and staging, digital signage, presentations, displays, audio, systems design and installation, and videoconferencing. Lastly, AV is unique in that we are the ONLY title that provides the medium for an advertiser to reach the entire channel; 60% are end-users – these are purchasers and specifiers of AV equipment. These include rental and staging; education (universities, colleges and schools); retail (Harrods, Westfield, Selfridges, Burberry); leisure (stadiums, festivals, bars/clubs); public sector (MOD); corporate and financial sector (Morgan Stanley, UBS) and general corporate such as GSK. The remaining 40% of our readership is made up of the trade, such as producers, resellers, systems integrators/installers, distributors and manufacturers.
AV Europe (UK and mainland Europe)
AV Europe reaches 18,928 pro-AV buyer’s across mainland Europe. The circulation is made up of trade buyer’s, predominantly the installer, integrator and consultant, and the top spending delegates from the Integrated System’s Europe (ISE) exhibition 2008 and 2009. Our European reach is three times higher than our nearest competitor and the buyers’ spend over €500,000 annually on AV products. Advertising within AV Europe means your branding will be seen by a circulation of 37,002 as you also reach our UK readers.
