Gofam Communications Unveils Digital Platform For MediaConsortium

Gofam Communications has announced that its brands, business and marketing magazine  MediaConsortium has gone online, with the URL- www.mediaconsortiumng.com.

BrandNewsDay reports that Gofam Communications, owners of the all-gloss magazine, made this known via a statement on Tuesday in Lagos. It says the idea is to give the magazine an online presence and to enable it to service the vast number of online readers.

A brands, business and marketing publication, MediaConsortium is a reader’s delight which was born out of the need to enable the market situation ideal for its objective and mutually rewarding engagement, such that it will serve the interest among known market forces.

A publication of Gofam Communications, MediaConsortium started operations nearly a year ago, with the maiden publication hitting the newsstand in February 2022, with the lead story; “Eradicating unhealthy practices will stimulate growth in the advertising industry,” an interview with Dr Lekan Fadolapo, ARCON DG and a sub-lead entitled, ‘AISOP: Between practitioners and international best practice,’ among other interesting stories.

According to a statement from the company, MediaConsortium is not in competition with any brand but has come to make little effort by contributing to the growth of the Integrated Marketing Communications (IMC) space in particular and the economy at large in its own little way.

“As a platform, it is a dedication to the professional management of the market and the brand ingredients operative in the Brand/Consumer relationship at the marketplace. On a broader scale, it is focused on growing commercial activities by paying attention to those areas of possible conflict of interest among known market forces,” the statement reads.

Promoters of the platform say the new website will afford the online community the opportunity to access brands and brand-related news as it is being served on the go rather than wait till when the hard copy is served once a month.

“MediaConsortium is a platform that can be relied on to set agenda for dialogue among industry stakeholders by the information we put in the public space.
