Media Pack 2016
Aimed at housing professionals operating in England and Wales, every edition Housing
provides key decision-makers with incisive coverage of the issues that really matter to
the industry.
It provides a comprehensive editorial package, presenting news analysis pieces,
business advice, expert columns, interviews with industry leaders, and topical features
examining the big issues impacting the sector.
With its regional news coverage, the magazine enhances its national outlook with
a local perspective, letting readers catch up with the latest happenings in their
communities. The magazine is reinforced by the daily news coverage presented on the
website; ensuring readers can stay up to date. A dedicated green section focuses on the
ever-changing world of renewable technology and construction, with regular articles on
eco topics, the latest green news, technology and products, and profiles of noteworthy
sustainable developments.
Together with our events, which include Women in Construction, Housing Innovation
Awards and the Housing Excellence Awards, Housing offers a complete marketing
package and the ideal platform to promote your products and services to the people
that really matter.
The publication also circulates a fortnightly digital newsletter to 20,000 opt-in
subscribers.
