about us about DMN publications advertising contacts about us about DMN publications advertising contacts About Faircount Media Group Faircount Media Group is a media company with diverse interests in print, digital media, and event development and management. With offices and management staff located in Europe, North America, and Asia, Faircount is globally positioned to service clients in the world’s major markets. Our clients represent a broad range of areas, including Fortune 1000 companies, government agencies, and governing bodies of major sports. Faircount has been an established publisher in the defense sector since the early ’90s, with military and government customers in the United States, U.K., Canada, and Australia. Clients include the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, the U.S. Air Force, the Royal Australian Navy, the U.S. Coast Guard, NASA, the Canadian Air Force, the Canadian Navy, the British Royal Navy, plus many others. Formed in the U.K. in the late 1980s, the company originally consisted of a small team with lots of innovative ideas. By late 1992, Faircount had established its office in North America and set about a plan to achieve several objectives, one of which was to carve out a niche publishing for the United States military. By the end of the 1990s this objective had been achieved, with client partnerships producing publications for all military service branches. Within the first three years of the 21st century, our portfolio expanded to include other federal agencies including the Department of Homeland Security, the Department of Health and Human Services, and the General Services Administration. Success in one channel was paralleled in another: specialty lifestyle publishing. Such prestigious organizations as the Juilliard School, the RollsRoyce Owners’ Club, and Steinway & Sons have worked with Faircount on custom publications. In 2007, Faircount opened its third office, in Sydney, Australia, with projects soon being undertaken on behalf of a mixture of government and privatesector customers, notably the Australian Olympic Committee and the Royal Australian Navy. Today, teams of seasoned industry professionals, including writers, designers, production, accounting, marketing, and administration staff, complement the original directors as the company continues to expand its portfolio of military, B2B, and lifestyle titles, delivering insightful and dynamic media experiences for readers and advertisers alike.

Although every member of the armed forces has performed admirably during the conflict, no other community has been so well suited to the roles and missions required by this new world security climate. Special operations forces are the proof that sometimes quality is more important than quantity, though it also means that the relatively small number of special operations personnel have been deployed over and over again in recent years. There has never been a greater appreciation for special operations, and with good reason. Operators hunt down and destroy terrorist cells, train foreign military armies, perform disaster relief missions, and interact with local populations with appreciation for their culture and history. Special operations forces have traditionally made sure that they “equip the man” and not “man the equipment.” Though this has long been one of the fundamental beliefs of special operations, our nation’s scientists and engineers continue to equip these heroes with the best technology available to increase the operators’ safety and, at the same time, their lethality. about us Coast Guard Outlook about DMN publications advertising contacts Coast Guard Outlook is published to detail the major programs and initiatives of the agency.

The Coast Guard protects the maritime economy and the environment, defends our maritime borders, and saves those in peril. The Coast Guard is a military, multimission, maritime service. Its mission is to protect the public, the environment, and U.S. economic interests in the nation’s ports and waterways, along the coast, on international waters, or in any maritime region as required to support national security. The complexity of its missions and the size of its area of responsibility require a Coast Guard with capable people, aircraft, cutters, and boats. The service is responsible for the safety and security of America’s inland waterways, ports, and harbors; more than 95,000 miles of U.S. coastlines; U.S. territorial seas; 3.4 million square miles of ocean defining our exclusive economic zones; and international waters or other maritime regions of importance to the United States.

It is primarily a naval force whose strength is its ability to access denied areas from great distances. Marine forces project from land or sea bases for operations as part of a joint or combined force. They provide defense of the homeland by operating from forward deployed locations throughout the world. They fight across the spectrum of conflict. However, they believe that their future will be characterized by irregular wars. They focus on warfighting excellence in everything they do. A guiding principle of the Corps is that they fight as combined arms teams, seamlessly integrating their ground, aviation, and logistics forces. They exploit the speed, flexibility, and agility inherent in their combined arms approach to defeat traditional, terrorist, and emerging threats to our Nation’s security. Every Marine is a rifleman and a warrior – their link to the past and their key to the future. They train and educate each Marine to think independently and act aggressively, with speed and initiative; to exploit the advantages of cultural understanding. They thrive in the chaotic and unpredictable environments in which Marine forces are employed. about us U.S. Army Materiel Command: The Army’s Premier Provider of Materiel Readiness about DMN publications advertising contacts U.S. Army Materiel Command: The Army’s Premier Provider of Materiel Readiness is an AMC-approved publication designed to report on the current programs and future strategies of the command through interviews and discussions with senior leadership and people that make up the command.

This is the second year of large budget increases in VA’s discretionary budget, which is up almost 20 percent since 2009. about us about DMN publications advertising contacts Advertising with Faircount Media Group Faircount publishes several magazines each year that vary in page length from 32 pages to more than 200 pages. This gives us plenty of stories and features to embed advertisements from companies. Because we only allocate approximately 35 percent of the pages for advertising, you are always guaranteed to face relevant editorial, and because our readers are heavily engaged with the content, wherever your ad sits in the magazine, it will be seen. Guaranteed. While other sizes may be available depending on the publication our standard size print ads are: • Double Page Spread • Full Page . • Half Page >> In addition, we also offer print/online packages and an a la carte menu, which allows you to pick and choose from a variety of web-based advertisements or from the innovative advertising options in our digital editions – all available as part of a custom package. Our Premium Positions • Pre-cover Gatefold • Outside Back Cover A pre-cover gatefold is a special advertiser section. This four-page, detachable section is “tipped on” to the publication, giving the impression that it’s actually the real front cover. However, unless it is forcefully detached, it remains a permanent part of the book. The key to this eye-catching attention-grabber is that the outside page is a duplicate of the front cover. This immediately catches the attention of the readers and powerfully draws their eyes to the double page spread message that is located behind the duplicate cover. The back page advertisement appears as though it is the inside front cover of the publication, unless the reader detaches the special section, at which point the readers hold in their hands a special four-page supplement or small poster all about your company. The digital format is exactly the same – four introductory pages acting as a prologue to the book (one is the duplicate cover; the other three are all about the sponsoring company). The outside back or fourth cover is considered the foremost premium position in print advertising. In this premium spot, your message receives the highest level of exposure, in particular every time the magazine is picked up or put back down on a table. In the case of digital magazines it’s a little different, as readers don’t tend to scroll all the way to the back. Therefore, unless an advertiser has already purchased a pre-cover for the print edition, as an advertiser on the fourth cover your ad will automatically be placed in the pre-cover position in the digital edition. • Inside Front Cover The second cover, or inside front cover, is a highly sought after ad spot because it is usually the first thing a reader sees when he or she opens the cover. For this reason, it is very common to see a two-page spread for maximum impact. • Inside Back Cover Next in rank to the second cover is the third cover (or inside back cover). Though not as desirable as the back or second covers, this cover is nevertheless a prime position because a) it’s part of the cover and printed on a heavier type of paper, and b) many readers flick through a perfect-bound publication from the back and so could easily see the inside back page first! • Facing the Foreword or Table of Contents Sometimes the most effective way for your ad to be seen is opposite one of the very first pages of content in a publication. Placing your copy facing a letter from a VIP or senior executive such as a commanding officer can send a powerful message. Everyone in the command wants to read what their leader has to say. Similarly, in any book, the most referenced page is often the table of contents. For only a small premium above the rate for a full page, this is many times the best value for money and impressions. about us about DMN publications advertising Digital Advertising Opportunities Our publications are now available on tablet devices as fully interactive digital editions.
