DELIVER TO YOUR TARGET AUDIENCE

NZ Farm Life Media offers a unique subscriber audience of decision-making farm owners and managers for your company to target with products and services.

We offer the choice of two respected, award winning titles – Country-Wide and NZ Dairy Exporter – and an audience that totals more than 6000 subscribers who spend on average more than 60 minutes reading their favourite farm management magazine.

When they’ve finished reading each issue, many of our subscribers keep them for future reference and most hand them on to others in their family or farm business, so they can also be inspired, informed and entertained.

Publishing is a role we take seriously. Many of our team are either farming in their own right or have close connections to family-owned properties or agribusinesses. We’re a strong supporter of farmer and industry-led initiatives, especially when they make a real difference to farmers’ well-being or the profitability of their farming enterprise.

We’re proud of the quality of our titles and the service our partnership managers deliver to every client and agency, regardless of their investment.

Our digital audience is always growing and we provide attractive options for advertisers to target farmers through a range of channels, including weekly e-newsletters, social media platforms and podcasts.

So, partner with us to reach our unique audience. We guarantee your investment is a wise one.

b.

c. Unless otherwise stated by NZ Farm Life Media Limited, advertising rates are quoted exclusive of GST and the Client will pay GST in addition to such rates.
