Zakazukha's strategy for producing MBGC's e-Magazine
The strategy behind the Mercedes-Benz Gold Coast e-Magazine is to create relatable content, such as various Gold Coast based stories focusing on individuals and businesses, and present it in a format that is engaging, relevant and ultimately, sells product. Each quarter, Zakazukha research and source interesting stories and content to include in the MBGC magazine. The feature is of course the Driver section, and a lot of thought and effort goes into creating and art directing an exceptional cover image. Subjects are typically selected for their uniqueness and connection to the Gold Coast. Having moved online from print, MBGC's new digital format utilises eye-catching photography, video content and a more interactive method of consuming the magazine via links and SEO optimisation.
