Special Message from PBAA President, Jay Annis:

“I am pleased to announce that as a result of the PBAA Canada meeting last August, an initiative was commenced to bring various factions of the Canadian magazine industry together to prepare a comprehensive report on Magazines at Retail Canada (MARC) to be used to help sell our category to both retailers and the public.

Led by Peter Olson of the News Group and Ray Argyle of PMC, a coalition of publishers, wholesalers, national distributors, and PBAA discussed a plan for the study which was then executed in less than 5 months. The campaign is now going public as evidenced by the attached. We are proud that PBAA played a part in both initiating and planning the study and look forward to also implementing it for the betterment of our industry. “
