publish a profile of your company

I do translations for a bimonthly trade magazine, and this feature (redactioneel) is just called a 'company profile' in the magazine.
It is an 'advertorial' in the sense that it promotes the company being featured, but is a profile of the company and its products/services.

For Jarry: I agree with your explanation of the differences between \'feature\' and \'profile,\' I was only quoting my J.I. Rodale.......;)

One more note for Jarry: I didn\'t necessarily mean for Chris to use the verb \'profile,\' but the noun - publish a profile - again, as I and others have said, it would depend on the context. If only one company is \'featured,\' the term \'company profile\' would be appropriate here........all a question of the context I think.

ook mijn gedachten - want als het over slechts een bedrijf gaat, is dit een profile, anders is het iets anders......
agree Tina Vonhof (X) : If it is about just this company, this option would be best.

4 KudoZ points awarded for this answer. Comment: "The bedrijf in question is a campsite. My client informed me (and I saw an example) that 'redactioneel vermelden' means that a paragraph of running text was included in addition to the basic advert. A basic advert (i.e. geen redactionele vermelding) means that only the campsite's basic details and facilities are mentioned as briefly as possible."

Mention your company in an article

Yes Chris, it means inclusion of an article. From the Dutch text I would guess it is not an article specifically about this company but the company will be mentioned in the article. You can probably tell from the context whether this is correct.

agree AllisonK (X) : on the context issue - but it does refer to an article either mentioning the company or featuring the company in its content

to write an advertising feature

I think it's a little stronger than "article". When I had my bar in Holland, I was constantly pestered by guys selling advertising space. This was often the carrot, certainly when you weren't an existing customer.
Peer comment(s):

agree Kate Hudson (X) : write about your company in an advertsing feature would be even better

neutral AllisonK (X) : IMO, these are those adverts that you see in the magazines which promote quick weight-loss products, hair removal (or growth) products, etc........;)

To feature your company in our guide

is what I think it means.
Peer comment(s):

agree writeaway : yes but didn't Allison basically explain that?
32 mins
No, she used the verb to profile.
neutral AllisonK (X) : according to J.I. Rodale's "The Synonym Finder," 'feature' is a synonym for 'profile'.......;)

To feature: to give prominence to; to profile (what a horrible verb): to draw, write or make a profile of. A big difference don't you think?
