Rubmedia wins ad mandate for Swiss forestry magazines
Swiss publishing house Rubmedia has been awarded the advertising sales mandate for two trade magazines published by WaldSchweiz, the association of Swiss forest owners. The mandate covers classic ads, job listings, advertorials, and inserts for the magazines “Wald und Holz” and “La Forêt”. Additionally, WaldSchweiz's online job board has been redesigned as part of the collaboration. The magazines appear ten times a year with a total certified circulation of 6,695 copies. Rubmedia, based in Köniz, specializes in trade and special-interest publications and will now offer advertisers access to decision-makers in agriculture, forestry, and municipal sectors through this new portfolio addition.
The new mandate for Rubmedia expands its publisher portfolio but is a niche B2B media sales appointment, relevant for the Swiss market but not industry-shifting.
