In late 2020, when we were laying the foundation of what we wanted this new media company to become, faith was a significant part of the equation: 

1. Faith in God. 

2. Faith in our team. 

3. Faith in the business community. 

I am humbled that our faith has been manifested in all three areas. A great Creator who has guided; an amazing team that has delivered (every time); and a resilient and eager business community who was ready to help. In Greater Fayetteville Business Journal’s first six months of operations, we added: 

• over 50 new advertisers 

• delivered over 115,000 printed business journals throughout our seven county area 

• sent 600,000 e-mail newsletters 

• had two packed signature events we call the Power Breakfast. 

I am excited to see what the good Lord, this team and you will do in 2022! 

Our mission at Greater Fayetteville Business Journal is to provide actionable business news and information to our readers in Fayetteville/ Cumberland County as well as Harnett, Hoke, Moore, Robeson, Bladen and Sampson Counties. We offer online and print business news/ information, as well as compelling in-person events. 

Please consider requesting our 2022 media kit to see how you can become an online/print advertiser and/or a sponsor of one of our signature events, and please share your newsworthy business stories with us. We want to commemorate your achievers, celebrate your accomplishments and tell your stories.
