At Zimmer Radio & Marketing Group, we’re dedicated to providing advertisers with the best platforms to reach qualified audiences. In December of 2016, we purchased Inside Columbia Magazine, alongside Inside Columbia’s CEO Magazine and Prime Magazine. Why?

For one thing, according to the Content Marketing Institute and MarketingProfs, 40% of B2B marketers used print or digital magazines for advertising last year. For another, readership for print and digital magazines has grown 6.2%, and print magazine advertising provides better lifts in awareness, favor-ability, and purchase intent than either digital or TV, per a report from the MPA.

We’re proud of our family of print publications. Inside Columbia Magazine has achieved the highest market penetration of any city/regional magazine in the country, and each issue is filled with insightful, useful, and entertaining articles.
