Families Magazines is an A4 glossy magazine that is noted for being a genuinely useful read for families in the local area. The reason for our success is our ‘localness’; our editorial features are locally written and are always up to date. Our comprehensive, bi-monthly ‘Families Fun Magazine’ Events Calendar gives the magazine a coffee table life of 6 – 8 weeks. Families Magazines strive to be excellent! We care about what we write and print; with a focus on family, not just children – we write about health, well-being, family values, education and fun in our local community and surrounds.

Local parenting magazine advertising

We care about what we advertise. We accept adverts from schools, businesses and organisations that have a similar ethos to ours; that is, those that support families health, well-being, education and family friendly fun.

Our typical readers make up Brisbane families. They are parents, carers and professionals (including teachers and health care staff) who enjoy the local content of our articles and the intelligent style of our magazine. We solicit editorial from local writers to ensure our content is useful, relevant, local, inspired. The A4 size makes us easy to pick up and read anywhere, anytime!

Why we recommend both print and digital advertising

Multiple studies show the best ROI is achieved with a mix of old and new media. Our success lies with our understanding of our audience and how to grab their attention. Our most successful campaigns combine print and digital advertising to raise awareness then demand a call-to-action. Kids magazine ads alone may not be as effective as a multi-platform campaign.

You can contact us at any time to talk through a ‘best fit’ package to suit your budget and time frames. For our local magazine advertising costs, just reach out to us – we would love to send you our parents magazine media kit!
