Canadian Chamber announces a key media partnership

OTTAWA, April 14 /CNW Telbec/ - The Canadian Chamber of Commerce today announced it has formed an official media partnership with George Media, specifically with The Canadian Business Journal (CBJ), its cornerstone digital B2B publication.

As the Canadian Chamber's national media partner, The Canadian Business Journal will offer unparalleled exposure to the magazine's national audience by providing editorial space, web advertising space, and continued onsite coverage of Canadian Chamber events. The Canadian Chamber will continue to promote its initiatives and events through this important Canadian publication on an ongoing basis.

"This partnership will strengthen our advocacy on behalf of Canadian business," said Perrin Beatty, President and CEO of the Canadian Chamber. "The Canadian Business Journal's large audience provides a formidable platform to talk about how we can make Canada more successful."

"This is a natural partnership and a step in the right direction for both the Canadian Chamber of Commerce and The Canadian Business Journal, and we are pleased to be partnering with an organization that has such a solid foundation and vital role in Canadian business" said Michael Alexander-Jones, President of George Media. "Our organizations' goals and values are aligned-we both strive to promote the best in Canadian business-and George Media's broad digital platform will ultimately serve to strengthen the CCC's profile."

The Canadian Business Journal will feature a special column every month written by the Canadian Chamber, dedicated to current business issues, which in turn will educate readers of the magazine and help to guide innovators in the Canadian corporate landscape. The first event recognized under the partnership will be the Canadian Chamber's upcoming G8/20 Business Summit on April 29 in Gatineau, Quebec, and the first column will appear in the May issue of CBJ-scheduled for release on April 30.
