GRAPHICS PRO Names Lead Editor

GRAPHICS PRO welcomes James Anderson as the new lead editor of the brand’s print and digital media.

In the role, Anderson will lead all editorial aspects of the GRAPHICS PRO portfolio, including spearheading the monthly print issue, managing special projects and sections, and working on an overarching strategy for long-term growth, as well as working with Managing Editor Marie Fennema in overseeing all digital media.

Anderson comes to GRAPHICS PRO with almost a decade of experience in B2B media, in addition to years of experience in the broader media industry. He previously worked as editor of LBM Journal, a trade journal for lumber and building material professionals.

Before that, Anderson served in a variety of leadership roles in the media industry, from editing community newspapers in Southern Minnesota to leading content marketing at a Minneapolis digital news startup.

“I’m looking forward to getting to know people in the industry. I’m excited to join a publication serving businesspeople who are artists and makers as well,” says Anderson. “I’ve worked in B2B publishing for some time and recognize the value that GRAPHICS PRO and GRAPHICS PRO EXPO offer both readers and advertisers. Whether it’s from the print magazine, website, email updates, social media, or live events, my goal is to share industry-specific content when and where our readers want it.”

Elizabeth Manning, director of content at Cahaba Media Group (parent company of GRAPHICS PRO), voiced the team’s excitement to have Anderson on board and have the opportunity to draw from his wealth of publishing industry knowledge, stating, “We’re thrilled to enter 2024 with James filling out the GP editorial team. His years in the B2B industry have provided a smooth transition for him to move into his leadership role. In tandem with our GRAPHICS PRO EXPO team, we’re excited to grow the two brands to new heights in the coming year.”
