North Carolina-based Business Leader Media announced that it has acquired struggling South Florida CEO magazine, a business magazine in the Miami-Dade, Broward and Fort Lauderdale metropolitan markets. Terms were not disclosed.
South Florida CEO, founded in 1988, has 35,000 subscribers and strong corporate pass-along distribution. Business Leader Media publishes monthly business magazines in major North Carolina business hubs, as well as a number of regional quarterly and annual business publications. The company also publishes several national newsstand magazines that reach small-business owners and business professionals.
Mark Mellman, a Miami native and current executive with Business Leader Media, will become publisher of South Florida Business Leader, and Vivian Fried, who has been with South Florida CEO for six years, will assume the role of associate publisher.
“We are excited to extend our presence to South Florida,” said Mellman in a statement. “We look forward to continuing the great coverage of businesses, business people and business events that South Florida CEO magazine has provided the community over the last 10 years, and to enhancing it by adding the resource guide component that makes Business Leader products unique among the genre.”
