2011 Platinum PR Awards: External Publication

Winner: The Boeing Company and Methodologie Inc. – AERO Magazine

Launched in 1998, AERO magazine targets a specialized audience: employees of Boeing Aircraft. One AERO writer works with subject matter experts to craft articles addressing maintenance, engineering flight and safety. The technical information contained in each article is written in an easy to follow, cohesive tone. The quarterly publication is available to employees in print and online formats. Photos and illustrations complement each article of the 32-page pub, resulting in a clean, attractive layout for both the print and online versions. The latest reader survey shows that 92% of respondents found the content to be valuable and timely. But the online version of AERO generates an average of 25,000-30,000 visits per month—taking the content far beyond the confines of Boeing employees. The content has led to new business, including airlines’ adoption of new Boeing technologies, and the use of AERO information to train pilots on new fuel conservation procedures. —RD
