Connecting Business & People in the New North
 

What is INSIGHT?








Insight is a business-to-business publication that connects you with the people you need to know, the ideas and resources you need to know about, to make the most of your business and enjoy working and living in the New North.

In a class of its own, Insight gives you articles about people and businesses you can’t wait to read, photos and story spreads you’ll want to savor. We aim to “raise the bar” in our community of 1.2 million people spread far and wide throughout Northeast Wisconsin. (No, we are not a national magazine, we just look like one!)

Why Insight?

Since the launch of the New North brand, people in Northeast Wisconsin have become increasingly compelled to network with others throughout the region, to create new, useful and potentially lucrative connections and to understand how they and their businesses or organizations fit into the new community of the New North. Insight offers the communications platform they’re looking for.

Insight magazine is mailed monthly to 16,500 business owners and top executives in all 18 counties of Northeast Wisconsin. Our tagline: Connecting business and people in the New North.

Insight On Manufacturing is published quarterly in March, June, September and December. It is mailed to 4,200 manufacturing professionals and technology instructors throughout the region. Our tagline: Connecting companies with skilled workers and educational resources in the New North.

Insight Publications will deliver your message...

...To MorE quAlIfIED pEoplE
Others may claim to circulate more widely, but Insight is mailed to more qualified subscribers each month than any other publication in the region: 16,500.
+ 96% of our subscribers are business owners, C-Level executives, top managers, directors, purchasing controllers and professionals
+ Our monthly e-newsletter (to opt-in subscribers) alerts readers to check us out online

...In A MorE MEAnIngful wAy
Our content sets us apart. We plan original articles, insist on multiple sources and cater to a broad readership. We maintain clear lines between journalism and paid content. We don’t give you the same “news” you can find anywhere else. And we strive for a lively, compelling, “insightful” tone.

... wITh An EDgy, sophIsTIcATED looK
One thing Insight is NOT: predictable. We put a college president on a motorcycle. A port director in a bathtub. A banker’s arms around a cow. What will we do next? We love to keep you guessing! But, seriously:
+ We invest in design, layout and photography and partner with top talent. We care about quality in the details, right down to the paper and the ink. Sizzle? We embrace it!

...froM profEssIonAls you TrusT
Our national award-winning editors have more experience in professional journalism than any other business-to-business publication in the market.
+ Our regular contributors include former daily newspaper editors, business writers and corporate communications professionals – people who speak the language of business.
+ We were early believers in the mission of New North, Inc. and as a result, have forged strong ties with key players in this regional initiative. Our executive editor serves on the Branding Committee. In short: We know people. They know – and trust – us.
+ We are independently owned and operated: Business owners with a vested interest in the success of other businesses.
+ We partner with other businesses to make things happen. Ask us about opportunities for creative win-win ideas!

...on A MulTI-MEDIA plATforM ThAT offErs MorE roI for you
At www.insightonbusiness.com, you can view the entire magazine with our exclusive page-turning technology, powered by Nxtbook – with videos, podcasts and “hot” e-mails.
+ Every ad includes a “click-through” to the advertiser’s homepage.
+ You can also get your message out in our monthly e-newsletter.

WHO'S ALREADY IN?


   
Insight is young, yes. But we are also independent – open to fresh ideas – and thus creative about how we can work together, today.
Experience and relationships matter. Several organizations have chosen to “stay with” the professionals they’ve known and trusted. Insight is now producing the following:
+ The official New North Report to the Community and New North Mid-Year Report
+ The Fox Cities United Way Fundraising Campaign Book (August)
+ The Brown County United Way Fundraising Campaign Book (September)
+ The “Manufacturing All Stars” magazine for the Northeast Wisconsin Manufacturing Alliance.

Among other partnerships:
+ Exclusive coverage of the Nicolet National Bank/New North Quarterly Business Pulse survey results.
+ The Wisconsin Women’s Leadership Expo, exclusive media partnership with Insight.

As an advertiser, you need to consider why so many organizations have made the switch to Insight.
