Now in the 22nd year of publishing, Step Communications are specialists in serving the information needs of two key audiences: professionals involved in delivering selected core services within healthcare, and scientists responsible globally for formulating the next generation of personal care products.
To capture the attention of a professional audience, it is important to first deliver information in which they have a business interest. Having gained a reputation for consistently achieving this goal over the past 20 years, through the pages of our high quality professional and technical publications, and their complementary websites, we continually strive to serve our chosen audiences with current and topical news, leading-edge technical articles, and in-depth interviews with prominent influencers in the sectors in which we are active.
We do this without reference to commercial considerations. The highest levels of professional publishing principles have been adopted that means we will never charge a fee to have editorial featured in the magazines, or charge for images if they are also included. Editorial is selected purely on its ability to interest and engage our readerships. Since our readerships are the required commercial audience for many businesses, we offer our magazines as a highly effective route to market to influence decision-makers, safe in the knowledge that these key individuals have already become reliant on our products as high-quality sources of professional and technical information.
