Testimonials

Craig has done an amazing job handling all our titles. That includes increasing sales and efficiency for Sharp Magazine and increasing efficiency that has saved thousands of dollars on wasted copies for our twice a year SIP Sharp – The Book for Men. Additionally, he was the lead on the successful launch of our Luxury Lifestyle Magazine for Women - S/Style & Fashion. He has taken a real weakness of our company and turned it into a growth area. As magazines continue report downward trends on newsstand sales we are experiencing growth and the full credit goes to the efforts of Craig. His efforts should be recognized by the industry and be used as an example that there still is opportunity on newsstand if you’re prepared to work hard and create innovative solutions.

Craig has been a pivotal force in the recent foundation of the Industry Action Group, which advocates for a strong presence at and enjoyment of magazines at retail.
