Bespoke Publishing Systems

Planning SystemsClassified Section

Headline have been implementing and training Advertising Planning systems for a number of years. Due to our vast experience working within the publishing industry we have setup planning systems for both national & regional newspapers as well as Magazine houses. Planning systems provide a quick and efficient way of planning both Display and Classified advertising. They integrate with front-end booking systems and output can be achieved through third party software or by QuarkXPress/InDesign using an XTension. Some of the planning systems Headline have been involved with are:

  • MediaPlanner
  • FutureProof Beacon Planning System
  • Beacon Planning System

Advertising Booking Systems & CRM Systems

For many years, Headline have been working with end-users and system suppliers to provide training in a wide variety of advertising systems. Headline's success comes from our ability to understand end-user business and workflow practices and then implement those into the advertising system. We can provide consultancy, project management, implementation, train the trainer, user training, course design and report writing.

As well as providing instructor-led training, we also provide e-Learning for your advertising system. We have found that this is an excellent complement to instructor-led training, providing users with post training support, which reduces the number of help-desk calls. Some of the systems Headline have been involved with:

  • Atex - Enterprise Booking System - incl. contact management
  • Atex - Mactiv Booking System - incl. contact management
  • Media Systems - AdTaker Booking System - incl. contact management
