Build Your Brand And

Generate Leads With The Playbook

In nearly seven years covering the water industry, I’ve found one of the most fascinating aspects to be the simple fact that most of the infrastructure is largely unseen. Among the general public, it’s understandable. People turn the water faucet and potable water comes out. They don’t think about the process it went through from source to treatment to delivery. Likewise, people flush the toilet and don’t think about what it takes to move wastewater through a complex, interconnected pipe network before being treated again — a highly engineered process.

What’s interesting to me is how little water is ac-knowledged in the United States when it comes to our lawmakers and elected officials. Whenever our politi-cians talk about infrastructure, it’s always in reference to roads, bridges, transit, etc. Water is almost never directly acknowledged. Ultimately, despite the specific challenges faced by water and sewer authorities across the nation, it comes down to funding and how much money is really being allocated to the industry. Our lo-cal, state and federal leaders are all uniquely positioned to change the status quo and prioritize water differently.

In Water Finance & Management, our editorial coverage can best be described by one common, overarching theme: modern utility management strate-gies. We report on the biggest challenges facing water, wastewater and stormwater infrastructure, while ex-ploring new concepts, solutions and approaches that are being implemented to make utilities more techno-logically and economically sustainable.

Our stories are written by WF&M staff, as well as contributed by nationally-recognized experts from all facets of the water industry. Our content is read on multiple media channels — print, web, e-mail, webi-nars, social media, conferences and beyond.

We offer marketers a unique opportunity to reach the executives who make capital improvement and buying decisions, as well as those involved in imple-menting new strategies and technologies for their water systems.

Bleed - 8 1/4” x 10 3/4”: Printing that goes beyond the edge of the sheet and will be trimmed off. It ensures that your ad will seemlessly blend to the edge of the page with no white margin.

Page Edge (Trim) - 8” X 10 1/2”

Safety - 1/4” in from trim: This is the area that is far enough away from the edge of the page that no important logos or text will be cut off during the printing process. You should make sure all important elements in your ad are within this zone.
