The Importance of Being Different
ROY REIMAN
Friday, 13 Sep 2019 at 3:30 pm – MacKay Hall Auditorium (0117)
Media businessman and entrepreneur Roy Reiman will speak about his career in magazines and publishing. He founded Reiman Publications, which grew to employ over 600 people and published 14 national magazines—all of which were supported solely with subscriptions, and no advertising. At the company’s peak, when the total circulation reached 16.3 million subscribers, every eighth home in America received at least one of the magazines. Twelve years ago Reiman “flunked retirement,†as he puts it, and launched Our Iowa for his home state, and five years ago launched Our Wisconsin for his adopted state. 2019 Reiman Entrepreneurial Speaker SeriesCosponsored By:
