2   A premium subscription to The Informed Executive gives your company the right to quality, objective, analysis
   
   

The publishers of The Informed Executive developed a method of funding magazine titles which depends neither on readers’ subscriptions nor on advertising. Under this business model, revenues are generated by organisations which commit a payment before the magazine’s editorial team research an editorial analysis of their business.

The fact that this sum is paid over before the research begins ensures the editorial independence and objectivity of the piece. By way of quality assurance, the company about which the piece is being written is invited to check the draft for factual accuracy, though editorial opinion must always remain that of the publishers.

In the case of IEX, the fees are paid by the Premium Subscribers – whose annual subscription entitles them to at least one in-depth editorial analysis. That subscription also entitles those organisations to a range of additional benefits, which are detailed below.

Readers are encouraged to draw down a permanent copy of any feature in PDF format for their own retention and private use.

A small to medium scale business wishing to raise its profile

    What does a Premium Subscriber receive?

Editorial analysis of the whole or part of their organisation or operations.
The length of the analysis is linked to the value of the subscription but will never be less than two complete pages of editorial (or their equivalent).

    The cost of a premium subscription
   

The cost of a Premium Subscription is inclusive of a three-page feature written by the editorial team and published at a time which best meets the requirements of the Subscriber (subject to availability of space in a particular edition). The actual cost is influenced by the size of the organisation: as an SME, we are keen to encourage the smaller business at this critical time. Please contact the publisher to discuss the arate applicable to your organisation.
