A Message from our PublisherLet me start by saying this: I don’t want to sell you advertising.

That may sound odd to you, but I am not your typical publisher. I’m a third-generation insurance salesman who grew frustrated with publications that were happy to place our ads and just as happy to shrug their shoulders and send me a bill when those efforts failed.

So in 1999 I founded InsuranceNewsNet (INN) to inform, educate and market to my fellow insurance producers – and do it faster and better than anyone else. To this end, I launched InsuranceNewsNet.com at a time when the Internet was still in its infancy.

In 2008, despite “The Great Recession” and one of the worst years in magazine publishing history, we broke the trend and launched our print magazine. Since then we have grown into the most read and most awarded publication in our space. I don’t see these successes as the goal – I see it as confirmation that we are serving others to the best of our ability.

As a privately-owned media company, we understand that our success is directly tied to yours. So give us a call and tell us your goals. We’ll put together a strategy and map out a plan that can take you there. And then deliver.

To your success,

Paul FeldmanFounder and Publisher 1
