Cindy Crawford, who left the Birmingham Business Journal editor position in January, has been hired as director of communications and brand strategy at the Birmingham-Jefferson Convention Complex and Uptown entertainment district.
Crawford will oversee public relations, social media and strategy for branding of the BJCC and the growing restaurant and retail area in a revitalizing area of downtown Birmingham.
“I served as a cheerleader for Birmingham while editor at the BBJ, and now I get to be an integral part of the team that will make major changes coming to the BJCC and entertainment district in the now-booming downtown Birmingham,” Crawford said. “It’s an exciting time to be a change-maker in Birmingham.”
Crawford was managing editor of the paper before becoming editor in 2010.
