Testimonials

“Deciding to overhaul our member magazine was a big decision for the RAC and a key part of that was finding the right contract publisher to help bring our vision to life. The magazine is circulated to more than 500,000 Western Australian households and is one of the key ways we communicate with our members, so we had to get the new look and feel just right. Globe Publishing brought vision, experience and attention to detail to the project. And, most importantly, they offered a level of client service that we felt we could not get anywhere else. The result of our decision to work with Globe is a high quality magazine that is full of value for our members and a strong working relationship with Globe that will grow and deepen. We couldn't be happier.”
Carolyn Hall, Brand and Communications Director, RAC WA

“Overhauling our magazine was a big task and required a team of people to work closely together. Globe Publishing was full of great ideas about how to bring the RACs vision for its magazine to life and delivered a high quality product within a tight deadline. The fact that we had a great time working together made the process so much more enjoyable.”
