Case Study: Leading International Publisher saves $2.4M and trims 35 days off production with Quad

Leading International Publisher - Customer Case Study

Leading International Publisher, an iconic media company that funds global conservation and produces photography-led magazines, faced falling subscriptions after a change in ownership and the need to boost ad revenue while cutting production costs. Quad was engaged to help — deploying its Process Optimization team and onsite production services to address how the publisher could create stronger content on a smaller budget.

Quad mapped end-to-end workflows, defined roles and responsibilities, and worked with the publisher’s IT to build a single source of truth for centralized collaboration and asset management, removing handoffs across departments and agencies. The Quad-led effort delivered measurable impact: $2.4 million saved in the first year, 35 days removed from the production schedule, and reduced overhead through new tools and training.
