Is your digital strategy future proof?
How we can help build your digital strategy
Media businesses are facing unprecedented change – intense competition for advertising, more channels to communicate with consumers, vast organisational and skills challenges for teams.
Speciall Media helps media organisations navigate the complex digital world, building practical digital strategies for media brands.
Carolyn Morgan, founder of Speciall Media, has over 20 years strategic experience launching, acquiring, buying, growing and selling media businesses across print, digital and live events. Carolyn launched a major conference and exhibition in 2010, the Specialist Media Show, with a workshop programme for specialist media owners to learn about new strategies, swap ideas with their peers and meet new suppliers and services. In 2013 SIIA acquired the Specialist Media Show.
Carolyn now focuses on advising individual media and publishing businesses on the best way to grow their digital revenues.
Speciall Media can help your media business learn from the digital experiences of other publishers and create a tailored digital strategy.
