MAGZTER What do Publishers think of us?

Maxim is dramatically expanding


our content offerings to reach our
guys where they are and where we
anticipate they will be says Bill
Shaw, SVP Digital. We are thrilled
to be offered on the Magzter
platform as we are certain that our
audience will be there looking to
access our unique content

As a multi-media artist / writer / business


owner with an international fan base, I
have to evolve as fast as technology
changes. So I constantly ask myself: How
are people viewing media, and what type
of devices are popular in which countries?
How can I make sure that people who love
my work actually get to see it? Magzter
has finally given me a platform to
showcase my work on multiple digital
devices.
Andrea Grant, Minx
CopiousAmounts.com

It has been fast and efficient dealing with


Magzter. We are happy to make our content
available on all platforms Tarladalal Team

Its very important for publishers and content


creators to be able to give exposure to their
content through multiple platforms. Magzter
offers the necessary bridge for the traditional and
digital world. We are happy to work with them
and see a lot of value in the partnership
