Our team of in-house designers, writers, sub editors and advertising sales managers all have over 10 years experience individually working on magazines and newspapers with Australia’s leading publishers. Their skills, honed creating many of the countries leading newsstand magazines are what enable us to engage your audience and keep them turning the pages of your magazine.

Each member of Engage’s team is a specialist in creating custom content. We’re not an ad agency. We don’t write punchy DM pieces that torture the language to scream a single message.

Our work isn’t just about engaging an audience in the same way we did for consumer magazines. Yes, we must engage them, but we work with your brief and objectives in mind so when we take a reader on a journey or inspire them with ideas, the outcome is they interact with your brand and business.

In addition to our full-time team, we have a wide range of regular freelance contributors. These writers, photographers and stylists have all worked with us and we know and trust their work is of the highest standard, and will be delivered on-time and on-budget. You will find their by-lines in leading publications around the world.

Every project we work on needs a different mix of contributors. For example the team who write on our youth titles come from Girlfriend magazine and FHM backgrounds. The writers we use to connect Investec with their audience are well-known business and finance journalists. One of the keys to our success has been that with long media careers across a range of Australia’s leading publishing houses we have strong relationships with a large network of contributors who we’ve worked with in the past. We know their work will be in on time, on brief and to a standard that will exceed your expectations.
