The exclusive partnership will involve the distribution of FIPP’s flagship title, Magazine World, in 90 countries. The first issue to be distributed by Air Business will land on desks soon.
According to FIPP, strategic sponsorship is the most prestigious relationship a supplier to the international magazine publishing industry can have with FIPP, and is a unique opportunity to be recognised throughout all of FIPP’s communications.
Commenting on the new strategic sponsorship, FIPP president and CEO, Chris Llewellyn, said: “I am thrilled that Air Business has agreed to become a strategic sponsor of FIPP for the next 12 months. We are looking forward to working together to distribute Magazine World to our BPA audited worldwide subscriber base.”
Adam Sherman (pictured), group managing director of Air Business said: "We are delighted to have been selected as the new strategic partner of FIPP as well as our recent new partnership with the PPA. For the last six years, since being acquired by the national post office of Ireland, An Post, we have set ambitious targets for growth and global reach. I am delighted to say that our targets have been exceeded and partnering with FIPP and PPA is really the icing on the cake! It will give Air Business the chance to talk with customers both in the UK and worldwide about using Air Business UK as the preferred point to handle the mail and fulfilment of their products.”
