WHY ADVERTISE?

ICT occupies a crucial position in pharmaceutical publishing, offering an advertising platform to contract product and service providers from across the clinical trials market. Its targeted circulation to key global decision makers guarantees maximum exposure for your company. Furthermore, ICT’s media partnerships with key industry events provide advertisers with bonus distribution opportunities throughout the year.

ICT’s presence online offers exciting digital opportunities. With a comprehensive company directory, and press releases and events listing facilities, the website is the ideal platform to showcase banners and logos. The website is complemented by the magazine’s ebook – an interactive digital edition of ICT that opens up a whole host of rich media advertising options.
