Quad/Graphics Unveils Media Solutions Group

SUSSEX, WI—Quad/Graphics Inc. announces the formation of Media Solutions, a services group dedicated to helping marketers and publishers more efficiently and effectively integrate print and new media channels. This group combines traditional print and content support services with emerging mobile and other digital media solutions to help clients produce more powerful and consistent experiences across all media channels.

“Our new Media Solutions group reflects our continuing commitment to redefine print and make it even more relevant in a fast-changing multichannel world,” said Joel Quadracci, chairman, president and CEO of Quad/Graphics. “Media Solutions brings together all of our content services to help clients create, optimize and connect their content across multiple media channels.

“Our customers are challenged by the explosive growth of new channels and we are ideally positioned to help. Our integrated services approach extends our traditional strengths in print into Web, mobile, email, e-reader, tablet, in-store and emerging channels.”

“We aim to be a single source that helps our customers communicate their brands consistently across multiple channels, including some that are new to Quad/Graphics,” added Chris Pryor, executive director of Quad/Graphics Media Solutions. “We have built a continuum of content solutions—including creative, photography, video, imaging and more—and are using new, integrated workflow and content management systems to help clients more efficiently and powerfully drive their content across all forms of media.”

Pryor says the Media Solutions services continuum model was built around clients’ need for a create/optimize/connect solutions set.

• Create services include brand strategy, creative development, photography, video and computer-generated imaging;

• Optimize services include content management, dynamic web imaging, premedia production, page production, color production, and workflow strategy and management; and

• Connect services include channel-deployment strategy, multi-platform digital editions, tablet and mobile apps, custom apps and interactive print.
