Testimonials
From Bobbi Mahlab, Managing Director, Mahlab Media

Membership of Publishers Australia has introduced my company to people and expertise that we draw on regularly. As a mid-sized publisher it is invaluable to have networks and contacts to refer to. At every networking event I meet at least one person that is useful to us. As members we also receive discounted rates to seminars and courses. The FIPP Digital Course I attended last year was a game changer for my business and an event I became aware of due to my membership of Publishers Australia.
From Graham Wakeling, Publisher, Graedi Group

As a small regional publisher eager to grow, membership of Publishers Australia has been invaluable. I tracked down the organisation and became a member five years ago and also sit on the current board. Collectively, South Australia is small player in the publishing industry nationally. Whilst we’re under-represented in number we make up for it in quality and innovation. Publishers Australia’s information channels provide vital links to networks of Australia’s larger publishing groups located in Melbourne and Sydney. Regional publishers can and do compete and are able to tap into technological advancements being taken up by the industry. With such a rapid change in the media industry, and the need to be on top of your game, you really can’t afford not to be a member. The annual Excellence Awards provide a benchmark on all the essential facets of a great publishing business.

For Publishers operating businesses in the fast-moving media world, membership offers the incredibly valuable chance to be able to meet a group of businesspeople who are facing similar issues, and pick up new ideas. With the mix of formal training and informal networking opportunities, Publishers Australia has contributed to the development of our business.
