100 Not Out!
S

ince 2011, InBroadcast has been
the global industry's monthly
title containing high-quality content
for the Audio, Film, Mobile, Satellite,
Television and Video professional. This
month we have reached the batting
accolade of 100 editions!
It's been over 9 years of countless
product
launches,
mergers,
acquisitions,
not
to
mention
frequenting global trade shows and
ever-accumulating air miles.
It's been a hard fought journey as the
Captain of our very special team within
InBroadcast - with seemingly endless
content placed each and every month
ensuring and enlightening our readers
with newest, latest and greatest within
our industry.
Furthermore, it is great to be able to
celebrate the 'century' of editions by
offering our latest 72 page fully packed
edition, continuing in the same vein as
the very first one.
This 'innings' would have not been
possible without all the advertisers
that have been so supportive placing
their wares, not to mention the press
relations and global manufacturers
who have played a vital role in keeping
the wheels of content turning each
and every month. Reflecting on the
completion of this edition, personally, I
would say: 'it only seems like yesterday
when our plans came to fruition'.
Through this 'journey' you the reader
across this global village - have paved
the way with our publishing house
gaining the high accolade of becoming
the only sole remaining independent
publisher producing a leading Show
Daily in Singapore since 2018.
Finally, a massive heartfelt thank you
to my team, copy writers, PR clients,
opinion writers, editorial contributors,
and journalists who have poured
their time and effort into the pages of
InBroadcast.
Here's to the next 100!

Phillip Izzard, Publisher.
