About Us

At Business in Focus, we bring you the stories of successful companies across diverse sectors who are carving out their own path. From long-standing legacy firms to enduring family businesses to energetic startups, they all have their own story, and we are proud to help them tell it.

We speak with CEOs, managers, and leaders who are making a difference and doing business their way. They’re telling us about the data-driven approaches they’re taking to their business; about changes they’re making to their workplace cultures; about trends they’ve observed and lessons they’ve learned. Perhaps above all, they’re telling us about the people who make up their organizations. Our coverage extends beyond the boardroom, engaging with key figures from leading associations, trade bodies, and government entities to provide a holistic understanding of the policies, events, and issues shaping our collective business landscape. Through all these stories, we aim to provide you with a deeper understanding of the forces shaping the business world today.

Our Values

Integrity

At FMG, our editorial team is kept deliberately independent from the sales side to ensure journalistic integrity, and we are thus able to draw on different voices and perspectives. “We have independent journalists so that our readers have engaging articles that speak to them,” Jeff explains. “We hire people from all over the world because we want different, diverse perspectives.”

Empowerment

At FMG Publishing, Inc., “every voice in the company matters,” as Founder Jeff Hocken says. With an open and supportive leadership approach, employees are empowered to share their ideas and everyone’s contributions are valued. The result is a team made up of people who are passionate about what they do, who are interested in the world around them, and who can’t wait to share your story.

Leadership

FMG is firmly committed to celebrating the best in business, and this includes shining a spotlight on Economic Development Organizations, Associations, Unions, and Conventions in the sectors we represent. We value the thought leadership that comes with the responsibility of running these organizations and want to ensure our magazines speak to the issues that are most relevant.

Accountability

With a business model that has always supported remote communication, FMG has been green from the start. We aim to highlight organizations, initiatives, and technologies that are doing their part for the environment, and FMG walks the walk. We work to minimize our carbon footprint in all areas as we grow, focusing on digital subscriber growth and reducing our environmental impact not only by using less paper and ink, but by dramatically reducing the environmental cost of logistics involved in distribution.

We print and distribute a full gloss printed edition every month, and provide a complimentary copy to each of our valued feature companies and advertisers.
We also work closely with our content partners to create a digital standalone brochure with a custom front and back cover, a powerful, independent marketing tool that allows you to directly reach your audience with your company’s story and any talking points you’d like to highlight.

What Do Our Clients Say About Us?

REACH VARIOUS TARGET MARKETS

“We have worked with the Business in Focus team on two articles now, and both experiences have been great. While the process has been simple and straightforward, the team has also been very flexible and receptive to input to make the articles more appropriate and accurate. Everyone has handled the sponsorship aspect of each project delicately with our partners and vendors. Additionally, the brochure created by your team is a ready-made and useful marketing tool for us to reach various target markets. Overall, we really appreciate all the work that was produced.”

OUR SUPPLIERS

“Everyone in your organization that I interacted with was responsive and professional. I was particularly impressed with the way your writer was able to use my input to produce an extremely well-written and accurate piece. Also important to me was the professional and non-intrusive way your advertising team reached out to our suppliers for support. We truly appreciated partnering with Business in Focus and look forward to using the article as a means of promoting our business and company culture to a larger audience.”

WORKLOAD VIRTUALLY NON-EXISTENT

“Scott and the entire team from FMG have shown nothing but professionalism during our time together. They provided timely updates on where we were at in the process and gave clear action items for us to complete. This made our workload virtually nonexistent, which you would never guess when looking at the finished product. Describing our business and what we do can be very challenging, but their team was able to simplify it in terms that anyone can understand. We would recommend Scott, Business in Focus, and the FMG team to anyone. Hopefully, our teams will have the opportunity to collaborate again in the future.”
