China Finance Centre and China Marketing Magazine Set Special Publishing Venture For Chinese Execs

May 3, 2007 - PRLog -- New York, NY :   CHINA FINANCE CENTRE, the New York based conference and trade exposition center dedicated to expanding business ties between China and the United States, has announced arrangements with China Marketing magazine, China’s lead business periodical, to publish special dual language, monthly sections on various aspects of China – US business and investment. Under this new arrangement, corporate presentations made at CFC conferences in New York will be published as inserts and distributed in China Marketing magazine to more than 2 million leading Chinese business managers and executives throughout the Peoples Republic.  The joint arrangement also provides for special distribution of the China Marketing insert sections to a select list of 2,000 of China’s leading corporate CEO’s/Chairmen and senior government leaders.

In announcing the unique US-China print tie-in, CFC President William J. Hallenbeck noted that the exclusive China Marketing Magazine inserts – the first such regular US- China business publishing joint arrangement-  will offer US companies “the unique opportunity to present their corporate messages directly to an audience of China’s most influential business and government leaders.” Under the joint publication arrangement, corporate messages in the special, dual language sections will be complemented by full page display ads.  

Beginning operations in 1994 and published by China Marketing Media Group (Nasdaq symbol: CMKM), China Marketing Magazine is distributed by some 60 publication agencies and over 30,000 stores in 300 cities across China.  The publication has grown to become China’s largest circulation business/finance magazine, posting successive annual circulation gains of over 20 percent. It now has nearly three times the circulation of well-known western titles like Fortune, BusinessWeek, and Forbes.  
 
China Marketing Media Group became a public U.S. company in 2006, and plans to seek a listing on the American Stock Exchange later this year. Information on CMKM is available at the CFC website: www.chinafc.net.

“We particularly welcome this opportunity to join with China Finance Centre.” stated Mr.Li Yingshen,  China Marketing Media Group chief executive.  “ By featuring China Finance Centre special inserts, China Marketing magazine will  address the growing need among China’s business elite for current information on U.S. companies by bringing our expanding readership exclusive information from America’s leading business executives.”

CFC has planned over 200 conferences, meetings and associated events in New York over the coming 12 months. These events will provide U.S. business and investment leaders with comprehensive surveys of all principal sectors of the Chinese economy and include presentations by various Chinese companies operating within the selected economic areas.  CFC also plans special conferences to provide both Chinese and U.S. companies operating in each country with the opportunity to use corporate communications to expand their base of business in the US and China.

CFC’s Hallenbeck added, "We read almost daily of the historic, record breaking expansion of the Chinese economy, but, a vast number of companies in both countries, ironically, have little knowledge of what it takes to expand their businesses across  borders. The special joint publication with China Marketing Magazine will enable CFC to provide the growing numbers of Chinese executives with authoritative, in-depth material, specifically designed bridge this key information gap.”

The faculty for CFC Conferences includes expert economic commentators, financial analysts, investment bankers, economists, corporate executives and government officials. Sessions are designed to provide the most current, authoritative overview of the inner workings of each economy, which over the few couple of years are expected to expand to dominate world trade.

CFC Conferences are held at the McGraw Hill Conference Center in Rockefeller Center. All proceedings are videotaped and included in a series of DVDs marketed by CFC via in the U.S. and China via Internet and other outlets.
