A marketing strategy brings everything together. Without one you waste time and money and going round in circles.

Knowing that you don’t know is one thing. Not knowing what you don’t know is worse…

Similar to good event management, a crucial element of business development is planning and attention to detail.

Corporate communication is a key element in your content marketing plan. It drives the consistent messages, both internally and externally, you wish to convey.

Of the many elements you need to get right in running an event, tight organisation is arguably the most important. Once the objective of the event has been established, you can’t afford to leave any stone unturned in the planning, organisation and execution.

Figuring out what your clients value, developing your offer accordingly and delivering the right and consistent message to them at the right time.

Whether you’re supplying editorial or taking up one of our standard or bespoke advertising packages, we take your messages to the people that need to hear them through a choice of publishing channels.

The LRT Monitor brings the facts, figures and contacts together in one place, so now it’s easy to search, find and get the information you need.

Now in its 81st year, Tramways & Urban Transit is unique as a publication founded on the needs of scheme promoters, transport operators, planners, consultants, manufacturers and campaigners for better public transport in our congested towns and cities.

Global Light Rail Awards

Wednesday October 3, 2018 6:00 pm to Thursday October 4, 2018 1:00 am

This year marks the 12th running of the Global Light Rail Awards – the industry’s celebration of innovation and excellence in our vibrant and fast-moving sector.

Supported by First Tram Operations, entries launched in April for what promises to be the biggest and best Global Light Rail Awards yet, building on the success of the 2017 ceremony that welcomed 250 guests from 10 countries to London’s Honourable Artillery Company.

An expert panel of judges evaluated almost 100 entries last year, deliberating over a range of projects that covered customer experience, safety and technical initiatives, engineering and operational excellence, and system design. Honours were also given to the industry’s key innovators in the Supplier and Manufacturer of the Year categories.
