Although I'm just weeks short of 40 years old, I have been receiving Athletic Business magazine for as long as I can remember. I have to say you're the ONLY publication that I continue to hold interest in over the years as my career has shifted since the time I first came upon you guys as a college athlete.  Since then, I've been a middle school/high school educator, turned high school coach, turned high school athletic director, and as of late, a special education teacher.

You're the only magazine that I still get in the mail, and you're the only publication that I read religiously.

Part of the reason that AB is so important to what I have done over the 17 years in education is because of your emphasis on safety and having articles that connect real people with real organizations that help people.

Thank you for being the force behind a fantastic publication that promotes an industry that works to improve mankind from physical, social emotional, mental and social-interaction standpoints.

What Our Clients Are Saying

"After engaging with AB, the qualified leads have grown considerably such that we are looking at increasing our sales staff to handle the volume and the numbers on the back end support that growth.  We are reaching the educational institutions and non-profit organizations at a higher rate and the impact can be traced back to the landing pages links clicked from the digital or print advertising through AB ."
