Welcome to the web site and blog for Magellan Media.

Magazine, book and association publishers often engage Magellan to improve their content workflows across platforms and uses.

We also offer research, benchmarking and business planning services that help smaller and medium-sized publishers manage and grow their top- and bottom-line results.  Our About page provides a summary of the firm and this web site, whose design supports a quick review.

The site also includes information about Events (conferences at which Brian O’Leary is presenting or participating) and Magellan in the News (links to coverage of the firm’s work).

Written by Brian O’Leary, our blog (to the right) maintains separate sections for magazine, book and association publishing.  Themes cross over and you may find posts of value in each of the areas.
