Help us to help you with relevant reports and content for 2021
Eyes on 2021
It won’t be long before we’re hit by an avalanche of 2021 prediction pieces. But if 2020 has taught us anything, it’s that some things are beyond prediction.
However, that doesn’t change what we at WNIP will be focusing on next year. We want to be a valuable resource to you and your publishing business, and to provide you with the information you need to navigate the toughest of circumstances.
One aspect we’ll continue to build on next year is our growing library of reports. This year alone we’ve released a comprehensive guide to eCommerce, an accompanying case studies collection, and a 70+ page guide to navigating COVID-19. Our annual Media Moments report will be joining that collection in a fortnight.
As part of our mission to create more relevant and valuable reports for our readers, we’re inviting you to fill out a short survey which should take just a couple of minutes to complete. It will help shape what subject areas we need to focus on in 2021 and the report topics that are of greatest interest.
Finally, we warmly invite you to join us at a virtual event to mark the launch of Media Moments 2020. We’ll be hearing from the team of writers behind the report, as well as a panel of publishing experts on their plans for next year and beyond.
