What O Carreteiro does

O Carreteiro é uma marca de mídia vertical brasileira fundada por volta de 1970 que fornece notícias, análises de mercado e conteúdo educacional para a indústria brasileira de transporte rodoviário de cargas, atendendo caminhoneiros profissionais, transportadoras e fabricantes/concessionárias de caminhões. A empresa evoluiu de uma revista impressa tradicional (Revista O Carreteiro, agora com 574 edições publicadas) para uma plataforma multiformato centrada no Portal O Carreteiro, complementada por um podcast chamado 'Transportando Informação' distribuído em Spotify e SoundCloud, conteúdo em vídeo, uma newsletter semanal por e-mail e uma seção premium 'Exclusivos' que cobre profissão, saúde do motorista, segurança viária, manutenção, financiamento de frota, legislação e sustentabilidade. A empresa é propriedade e operada pela GG Editora de Publicações Técnicas Ltda., um grupo conglomerado de mídia técnica sediado em São Paulo, Brasil, que também publica outros títulos como Anuário de Caminhões, Anuário de Ônibus e Revista Transporte Mundial. O modelo de receita combina assinaturas de revistas (físicas e digitais) com receitas de publicidade digital, incluindo conteúdo patrocinado (branded content) e display ads de OEMs de caminhões e fornecedores de frota. A distribuição é exclusivamente doméstica (Brasil) e utiliza nove canais de mídia social e áudio próprios para alcance orgânico.
