Implementation

With "XPLR: MEDIA IN BAVARIA" we have been implementing a print magazine since 2020, which is published annually at the Munich Media Days and presents exciting, innovative cases from the Bavarian media industry. For the stories, we produce interviews and portraits including photo shoots and design the layout of the magazine. In addition, we prepare the content for specific channels and create graphics and animations for social media. In addition to the magazine, we produce an insert for trade magazines.

Contents of the current issue

Each magazine is dedicated to a trend that is shaping and moving the media landscape. In 2021, the main issue focused on "New Work," in 2022 on the metaverse. The first supplement in 2023 is devoted to the question of how media companies are reaching the young Generation Z on social media.

Selected stories from each supplement and main issue are played out on the XPLR: MEDIA IN BAVARIA website following publication. Online-exclusive content is also published there on a regular basis. Among other things, we produced a portrait with DAZN presenter Alexander Schlüter.
