Digital transformation is reshaping media worldwide, and sometimes the innovative ideas come from beyond our own borders.

Join us on Wednesday 17 September (1-2pm) for an inspiring webinar where we look to Finland to explore fresh ways of working, smarter processes, and cutting-edge technologies.

One on our key case studies comes from Pirmediat Newspaper Group, which operates six weekly newspapers with around 20 InDesign workstations across its titles. They’ll share how they’ve streamlined the connection between WordPress, PageTrack, and CmsPublisher – bridging the gap between digital and print to work faster and smarter.

As part of this integration, we will demonstrate how Mediabox’s flexible, cost-effective tools streamline editorial workflows, without locking you into a specific CMS. Their tools, CmsPublisher and PageTrack, are built to work with almost any web CMS, allowing you to continue using your existing digital content platform.

This flexibility makes the move to digital-first smoother and more efficient, enabling a seamless digital-to-print workflow. All their tools work as stand-alone modules. Start with one and scale over time – or integrate easily with other third-party systems.  

Running on open infrastructure (Linux servers and PostgreSQL databases) and requiring no Adobe InDesign servers. They also offer AdWizard, a lightweight and efficient ad production and management system tailored for print.

What you’ll learn from this webinar: 

• How to cut production time using CmsPublisher  
  
  

• Best practices for building a digital-first workflow while keeping full print control  
  
  

• Real-world case studies from Nordic publishers using Labrador or WordPress CMS + CmsPublisher  
  
  

• Why open infrastructure (Linux, PostgreSQL, modularity) lowers cost and increases flexibility 
   
  

• How to integrate with third-party tools (including ad systems) or start small with stand-alone modules

Who should attend:  

Development Managers, Editorial & Production Leads, IT and Workflow Specialists, and Media Executives seeking greater efficiency and lower operational costs.

Why publishers love these tools…  

• “We started using CmsPublisher together with Labrador CMS in October 2023. We turned our workflow to Digital First and cut our production time with 50%, web and print included! This solution is worth its weight in gold.”
  
  

• “We are very satisfied with the CmsPublisher plug-in, the import of text and images from Labrador to InDesign, combined with good templates in InDesign is an enormous time-saver in print production.”
  
  

• “Our staff would refuse to work without CmsPublisher!”
  
  

• “We installed CmsPublisher this spring. This is a link between our Labrador CMS and InDesign, which is what we use to produce the paper edition. I like that the things we write in Labrador immediately show up in the CmsPublisher, and that I can just pull it onto the InDesign page with all the images and everything in the same place. In comparison to what we did before, this system has improved our workflow immensely.”
