Crosby Associates Media is joining forces with Greater Birmingham Chambers of Commerce as the new publishing partner for its flagship business magazine, Chamberlink.

The partnership begins in December and will build on the publication’s established role in the region’s business community, with a new-look magazine and enhancements to its digital edition.

Published 10 times a year, Chamberlink is the official publication of Greater Birmingham Chambers of Commerce. It provides a platform for members to share their news, insights and achievements with businesses across the region.

The agreement follows Crosby’s partnerships with Herefordshire & Worcestershire Chamber of Commerce and Staffordshire Chambers of Commerce, adding to its portfolio of publications for business membership organisations.

In a message to members announcing the partnership, Henrietta Brealey, Chief Executive of Greater Birmingham Chambers of Commerce, said: “This partnership marks the start of a new chapter for the magazine, and one that I believe will bring real benefits for our members and readers.”

She added: “Chamberlink has long been one of the region’s leading and most respected business publications, and a valued benefit of Chamber membership, giving our members a platform to share their success stories, insight and ambition with businesses across Greater Birmingham.”

“Working with Crosby Associates Media, we will build on those strong foundations to evolve the magazine, including exciting enhancements to its digital edition, so that Chamberlink continues to reach and engage the region’s business community in new ways.”

Nick Fellows, Managing Director of Crosby Associates Media, said: “We’re delighted to be partnering with Greater Birmingham Chambers of Commerce on Chamberlink. The magazine has an important role in connecting the region’s businesses and giving members a platform, and we’re looking forward to building on that with the Chamber team.

“Our focus will be on quality journalism, strong design and a digital edition that helps members’ stories reach further. There’s a wealth of business expertise and ambition across Greater Birmingham, and we want Chamberlink to reflect that in every issue.”

The new-look magazine will be led editorially by Crosby Associate Media Editorial Consultant Karl Holbrook – a former Executive Editor of the Daily Express and Group Editor of The Northern Echo, Karl has led newsrooms in New York, London, Edinburgh and the North East. He has also editorially led the revamped Business Direction magazine for Herefordshire & Worcestershire Chamber of Commerce and Feature Focus for Staffordshire Chamber of Commerce.

Crosby Associates Media has more than 25 years of experience serving the housing, building and construction sectors, alongside trade federations and membership organisations. Its existing Chamber relationships also include Lancashire, Thames Valley and London.

Members will have an opportunity to meet the Crosby team at the Greater Birmingham Business Expo at Edgbaston Stadium on Tuesday 10 November, where the company will be exhibiting.
