Simple, Effective and Affordable


The steady transition of B2B media into a tech-oriented marketplace where readers demand more immediacy of information, and advertisers a wider variety of opportunities to display their brands, is the new reality for publishers.

We at Cargo Business News recognize this, however, we also realize that like those who book cargo, it gets down to ease of doing business, effective deliverability, and “what’s it going to cost me?”

Cargo Business News has been delivering shipping and logistics industry content for 90 years, and our style has always been to ensure quality and depth of content while maintaining a viable platform for our advertisers and sponsors.

We’re also keeping it simple. As you read through this media plan, you’ll note just how simple and easy it is to make one affordable investment and reap the marketing rewards from multiple channels of deliverability for your brand.

New for 2013 is the Port Productivity Quarterly. The PPQ will be inserted into CBN’s distribution to over 17,000 cargo movement professionals, and will be the perfect build-up to the return of the Port Productivity Conference in January of 2014. Ports and terminals need to find ways to become more productive. The content of the quarterly and conference will be aimed at the entire supply chain that relies on this important logistical node.

We look forward to keeping our growing audience happy and our advertisers’ lives a little bit easier in 2013!
