Marq is a Superior Product for Publishers!

Rating: 10 out of 10

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

As a publisher of sponsored content digital magazines, we started with LucidPress and continued with them until the re-branding to Marq. Along the way, we have never steered away from the platform as it consistently is the most flexible and affordable one to use for magazine layout and we just love it.

Pros

  • Custom page sizes
  • Drag and drop of images
  • Sidebar visualization

Cons

  • Automated page numbering would be amazing
  • Scroll button should be darker to find it easier
  • More template options

Likelihood to Recommend

For self-publishers, Marq is the best option, in my opinion. I have recommended it to others and they have been also amazed at how beautiful their end product looks and how easy it is to export and get the printers. A win win for everyone involved in the process of creating magazines and marketing materials.

Keeps us on brand

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We have LucidPress set up as a supplementary service for campus partners to access multiple designs as templates they can edit and output independently. This allows us to provide a branded cohesive set of assets for staff use on smaller independent projects that we do not have the capacity for. We also have approval capabilities to monitor projects in the system and provide support when needed.

Pros

  • User management
  • Easy to create and edit templates
  • Able to install an approval layer to govern use

Cons

  • Variety of assets is somewhat lacking
  • Can be a bit of a learning curve for some users
  • A bit pricey now that there are more alternatives

Likelihood to Recommend

It’s a good platform to provide a hub for locked down template management. If you are needing a service for managing branded assets and users across multiple teams or departments this can be a good fit. However if you are looking for an online design software you may be better served by other platforms.
