About Us
Over decades of publishing websites and online and print magazines in various small and niche markets, Emerson Media Services has developed a network of accomplished editorial freelancers, marketing experts and advertising specialists.

Understanding consumers’ needs is crucial for information, service, and product providers to operate effectively in small and niche markets.

Many smaller, specialized companies and institutions develop their information platforms and marketing and advertising models to reach their target audience effectively. To do so, they may often need help and information related to demographics, ad design and placement, content creation and editing, and other aspects of publishing, marketing and advertising.
We are here to help them with those tasks.
Our History
From the late 1990s until 2022, we published and distributed hundreds of thousands of copies of print magazines for two distinct niche markets. These magazines were free of charge, supported by advertising and sent upon request only. We also owned and operated separate advertising-supported websites for these two niche markets.
​
Our “Getting Around” guides (print and digital magazines) were developed for U.S. Military and Department of Defense personnel and their families assigned to installations outside CONUS (Continental United States). The primary guides were for the US Air Force and Army in Europe. We also did a guide for the US Navy, providing information about various Ports of Call worldwide. Our Getting Around website combined all the information from the guides and additional pertinent and vital content in one location. We discontinued print publications in 2010 and sold the website in 2022.
Our “How To Germany” print and digital magazines and its website were developed to serve the continually expanding market of English-speaking foreigners moving to and living, working and studying in Germany. The website was launched in 1997, and we continued to print and distribute magazines until 2012. The magazine was available as a PDF download from the website until we sold the website in 2022.
As pioneers in “online guides” and the development of a unique paid advertising model, we enabled dozens of product and service providers in these markets to reach their target markets effectively at a reasonable cost.
