A Student's View: Gorkana

By Erica Wenham, Friday 08 January 2013.


I first came across Gorkana whilst on a work experience placement with Rain Communications/John Lewis. Personally, previous to working with the agency, I had never heard of Gorkana and often relied on other sources such as Mintel. Using Gorkana really allowed me to expand my knowledge of the business and media industry regarding key contacts and ports of call. It includes everything from the fashion editor of Heat magazine to advertisement costs in the Daily Mail by page and/or image size. For example, this is extremely helpful for marketing, advertising and PR agencies or in-house brand members who want to expand their coverage within the UK print media.

According to LinkedIn;
