CEO Journal – delivering more for the readers and advertisers

CEO is the leading biannual publication serving the needs of today’s busy business pacesetter. It provides the best writing on key issues, which are imperative to the future success of global corporations, as well as in-depth case studies and interviews with business leaders. This unique journal addresses the most pressing business challenges where the CEO needs to lead from the front: Corporate Strategy, Finance & Investment, IT & Communications, Human Capital Management, Outsourcing, Customer Experience Management, Travel and Executive Education.

The publication and website is structured in a user-friendly manner, with articles presented in the following sections:

CEO voices: Profiles, interviews, editor’s column

Best practice: Lessons learned

Special report: In-depth analysis of the most pressing current issue

Leading edge: Next-generation business thinking and strategy

Executive lifestyle: Including leadership, education, travel and health

Toolbox: Concentrated practical information for every CEO to keep


Distribution & readership

CEO is the only publication with global reach received exclusively by C-level decision-makers within the world’s largest and most powerful organisations. The multiple responsibilities of these leaders coupled with rapidly changing political, business, economic and regulatory environments mean they demand the type of strategic, tactical and peer-led information that CEO provides.

CEO is mailed directly to named individuals: CEOs, CIOs, CFOs and COOs (and their equivalents) within companies with a turnover in excess of £100 million, generating a projected readership of approximately 47,000 (publisher’s statement).

Our continual investment into readership by refining and fine-tuning the distribution to every named individual has created the most exciting database available.
