Simplifying Imaging Production Across Magazine Titles

Managing imaging production across in-house teams, freelancers and multiple external vendors was creating challenges for a major magazine publisher with 51 titles. With work spread across different providers, maintaining consistent quality and visibility over costs was increasingly difficult.

VMG brought imaging production together under a single managed team, combining offshore production with on-site specialists. This simplified vendor management, established a more consistent workflow and provided clearer cost reporting.

Bringing imaging production under one managed team reduced costs by 68%, while improving consistency and visibility across the publisher’s operation.
