Nick Atkinson (who you can find on LinkedIn or Twitter) is the Head of Digital at Hardie Grant Publishing. He was previously the Digital Marketing Manager for Borders UK and is an expert at how to blend content with eCommerce. We sat down with Nick and put the tough questions to him about what it means to be in digital publishing today.

Distributing a publication was once as simple as getting it into a bookstore or newsagency. Today, however, is a very different story.
When the going gets tough.
No one is doing digital publishing because its easy. With high production costs and constantly fighting against the sea of free content, many organisations struggle to thrive in the crowded online space.
How much is just the right amount?
Monthly, weekly or quarterly are three terms that are seldom used online. So how often or more importantly, when should you publish?

Know your customer better than they know themselves.
