All of our Exhibition Publishing services are now dealt with by its very own division - SYON EVENT PUBLISHING
Syon Media specialise in publishing magazines for membership organisations like chartered institutions, charities and associations.
We bring our expertise of the last 20 years producing our own consumer magazines and use that knowledge to produce award winning magazines that will have your members engaging with your content like never before.
Our background is magazine publishing. We are not an ad agency that has decided to try designing magazines, we are built from the ground up as publishers and this shows in our client's publications we lovingly create.
There is no better to engage your members than to use a professional as your member magazine publisher.
Full publishing service
Syon Media provides a complete end to end service for member magazine publishing. Our membership clients can pick and choose what services they would like Syon to fulfil. Some utilse Syon's expertise in every area and want the complete service including editorial services, some work with us just on Print Paper and Postage procurement. We can be involved as much or as little as you want.
Content Strategy
and delivery
It is an art to create just the right content and structure of a magazine that will engage your readers and keep them coming back. Syon Media work with you to build the right sections and define a clear strategy for getting the best out of your communication to members.
Magazine Designs
and re-designs
Even the best content needs to be presented to the reader in the right way. Our designers are specialists in magazine design and have built award winning magazine designs from scratch and also led many re-designs of existing publications to make your members engage with your great content in a way large professional consumer titles do.
Editors & Journalists
Services
For those membership organisations that do not have an in-house editor or editorial team we can provide national newspaper level editorial management and industry-specific journalists with years of experience.
Advertising
Services
Help fund your magazine by using our inhouse sales team who specialise in selling magazine advertising across print and digital media. The team at Syon Media have been working with membership organisations for more than 12 years. We know that your good name and standing with members is of the utmost importance. We are never use pressurised selling techniques and we act as an extension of your own team. We live your ethos and represent your values as we know most ad clients are probably your members too.
Printed and Digital
magazines
We have a simple philosophy - your members should be able to read your content anywhere, anytime, any way they wish. The magazines we produce for clients are made available in both print format and digital apps including Apple, Android, Amazon HD, Windows Mobile, PCs and Mac devices as standard.
Print, Paper, Post
Procurement
Syon print and distribute millions of magazines and supplements a year. We negotiate direct with paper mills, DSA's for postal contracts, web printers, sheet-fed printers - in fact everyone in the publishing supply chain. Our clients benefit from these economies of scale and also enjoy having one supplier relationship as we manage all the technical things with the supply chain. We take on the operational load freeing up your team to work on the more important stuff like producing great content and growing membership.

Our state-of-the-art jobs boards are an extremely effective way to grow revenues that have been lost to digital rivals. We know how to expand your portfolio of printed products to bring in new streams of revenues.
Today advertising has to be fully integrated into how you reach your audience. Every possible channel should be considered. As publishers ourselves we understand how to build sustainable and profitable revenue.
We always ensure your dedicated team of ad sales staff have enough time to get to know your clients, we make every effort to get out to shows and events and meet potential advertisers face-to-face.
We provide an up-to-date, experienced and effective sales team on your behalf.
When staff are busy focussing on member initiatives, event revenue often gets left on the table. Exhibitor sales aren’t as profitable. High value sponsors are harder to reach.

Our seasoned team of sales and event strategy professionals - averaging 24 years’ experience each - will build your commercialisation strategy from the ground up, help you make better use of space & resources and give you access to a wide network of higher-quality sponsors.
The result is increased revenue, higher credibility and no more missed commercialisation opportunities. So you can free up staff to focus on what they do best: growing your membership, not your event sales.

For nearly 20 years we have been producing beautiful and effective print magazines, books and supplements for a wide range of customers and clients.
Our titles, such as Geographical, The Environment Magazine, Gas International delight and inform our readers.
We have produced everything from highly successful specialist magazines to bespoke travel guides; from a series of illustrated manuals to promotional brochures.
We provide all the services you would expect from a professional magazine publisher to make your printed magazine amaze and engage the readers.
Without great design even the most compelling content will get lost. Top quality design goes hand-in-hand with great journalism. We excel in both.
We are happy to start from a blank piece of paper and create a complete design look for you from logos, fonts, colour palettes and page templates. Or our designers can fine tune your existing look.
We will work with you to create an effective workflow that matches your needs. Our designers are flexible and used to working to the most demanding editorial standards. We can help you source the best images and illustrations and every effort is made to understand and express the full meaning of your content.
The quality of our magazines and design work speaks for itself. And we pride ourselves on going that bit further, making our clients’ lives that bit easier and continually improving and striving.
