12+ years with Parade Magazine
Over 600 weeks worth of uplifting digital and print content delivered to more than 900 newspapers, their websites and replica editions during that time.
Since then, well over 15 billion copies of this iconic title have been distributed via multiple platforms by partners such as The Chicago Tribune, The Los Angeles Times, The Honolulu Star Advertiser, The Boston Globe, The Dallas Morning News, The St. Louis Post-Dispatch and hundreds more.
While my time has come to march in a different parade, it has been a distinct honor to work alongside some of the finest in the business since starting back in April 2011. Thanks to Dave Barber, Jack Haire, Maggie Murphy, Chuck Allen and many others who have trusted me with the keys to the newspaper relations machine and this respected brand for so long.
Parade magazine has represented all that is good about America going back to May 1941. Thanks to many who have been loyal to us from the start over 80 years ago such as The (Nashville) Tennessean, The Washington Post, The Detroit Free Press, The Chattanooga Times-Free Press, The Winston-Salem Journal, Newark Star-Ledger and Wheeling (WV) News-Register.
Newspapers and their growing digital sites are far from done, nor is this ink-stained keeper of journals. Eager to remain in this incredibly rewarding industry in some capacity, I hope to hear from my friends and colleagues in the days to come. Please stay in touch @ 951-760-1115 or kevincraig22@mac.com.
