Momentum grows for Crain's Manchester Business

I KNOW people from both a PR and freelance perspective are keen to see Crain's Manchester Business magazine succeed for various reasons.

And there has been some interesting articles and reports across a number of sites in recent days.

Hi Craig,

New business magazines are always welcome, particularly as Rob Baker comments over at Artisan Communications that existing titles seem to declining, or just plain stopping.

When we launched the offline business newspaper "Good Company" we got a lot of positive feedback, so I know there's a hunger for real business stories, how-to's and interviews.

Best of luck to Crain's I'm sure the business model they import from their success in the States will be equally successful here.
