SOLUTION: LASER IN ON ONE THAT TRULY CONNECTS YOU AND YOUR BUSINESS WITH THIS REGION’S MOST INFLUENTIAL BUSINESS DECISIONMAKERS: INGRAM’S Nearly half a century ago, the publication that today is Ingram’s was launched to give business owners and executives insights into trends and developments that they couldn’t find anywhere else. As the magazine has evolved, so has its mission, focusing on the core industries that define the economy in the Missouri and Kansas bi-state region, the organizations that lead within those sectors, and the people who power those companies. And they are legion: Ingram’s industry ranking lists alone require tens of thousands of contacts with the largest leaders; our editorial scope reaches into the C-suites of the all regional employers, including the most innovative companies in the region. That’s how we connect with the most affluent and influential executive decision-makers in business, policy-making, financial services and other key sectors. And that’s why experienced media buyers and marketing professionals know that Ingram’s is the veh icle that will deliver. We’ve been serving the states of Missouri and Kansas with an executive’s perspective on commerce since 1974. Our award-winning content, our programs to recognize and promote corporate and individual achievement, and our depth of research combine to produce the ideal tool for reaching key leaders in the bi-state B2B community. We offer additional opportunities for sponsorships and collaborations to drive your organization’s marketing message. In print and on-line, hundreds of thousands of influential readers make Ingram’s part of their business life. If you’re not reaching them, you’ve got a hole in your marketing plan. Let Ingram’s help you fill this essential need by aligning with us as a strategic partner with your marketing team. CUT. THROUGH. THE. NOISE.
