Archived media coverage of the Tilt-Up construction industry.

We are very pleased to announce that for 2006, Concrete Construction will again be the primary publication home for Tilt-Up content dedicating significant coverage throughout the year and a dedicated Tilt-Up issue.  They will also play a significant role in our Annual Convention as the Official Media Sponsor.  The partnership we have with this publication has produced significant benefits for the entire industry.

This year we will also see frequent articles in several other key industry magazines. These include Concrete Monthly magazine, The Construction Specifier, Design Cost Data, Concrete Products, Hard Hat News, Concrete (UK) and many more!

Want to See Your Project on the Cover of Magazines?

TCA can make that happen if you have some good jobsite photos to share. Although we have a wide variety of finished building photographs from our annual Achievement Award competition (though more photos are always welcome), TCA has a real shortage of good jobsite photos.

The advent and subsequent explosion of digital photography has had a large impact on our photo archives. Obviously, digital technology provides for quick and easy manipulation and development of photographs for website and email purposes. However, most of these images are not suitable for print publications since all most magazines require digital photos to be at least 300 dpi (dots per inch) and 4 x 6 in size - usually in TIF format. And, for cover photographs, a slide, transparency or 8.5 x 11 inch photograph is necessary. With only small digital files to choose from in our archives, the TCA is losing valuable opportunities in the media to showcase tilt-up.

If you have photos you are willing to share, please send them to TCA today. Your company will benefit from exposure as well since the photo caption and cutline will highlight your company and the project. Thank you for helping "build" the tilt-up industry.

For more information on marketing efforts being undertaken by the TCA, contact Ed Sauter, Executive Director for the TCA at (319) 895-6911.
