digital or die

As a product beta-tester for Adobe Digital Publishing Suite (DPS), Bates Creative Group has designed with these tools for nearly two years – years ahead of other agencies. If your goal is to reach a wider audience beyond print and web, tell a story that is impossible on the printed page, and maximize advertising or sponsorship revenue by adding a new media platform then a
tablet-specific enhanced publication is your solution.


What makes a successful tablet magazine app?

A successful tablet magazine app has content that is strategically planned, beautifully designed with thoughtful navigation that invites readers to continue reading, and has engaging interactive elements such as video, audio, 360° views, and HTML overlays.

Our expertise and thought leadership on tablet-specific enhanced publications has been quickly recognized by our client Marines Magazine, Adobe, Information Week, the Association Media & Publishing Excel Awards, and Art Director’s Club of Metropolitan Washington.

Bates Creative — Your Agency Partner

Our process allows for flexibility based on your organization’s current workflow process. Bates Creative can design your publication from print to app, or with collaboration we can take provided InDesign files from an in-house team and redesign for the app. Then we’ll deploy and manage your apps to the Apple store and Google marketplace.

Let’s talk about your goals and explore the possibilities for your publication on the iPad.
