About the RMG

The PPA’s Retail Marketing Group (RMG) is the PPA committee dedicated to promoting the magazine category to the retail sector.

The objective of the group is to act as a forum through which retailers can communicate any non-competitve needs and requirements with the publishing industry. This creates the opportunity for retailers to work together with publishers to promote the category internally and to drive copy sales.

The group is made up of representatives from the PPA, member publishers and associate member distributors. The key representatives on the group are shown below. You can contact them by clicking on their pictures.
