RedCoat Publishing is a fast-growing producer of business-to-business magazines. Our mission is to create high-quality publications that provide senior executives with information and thought-leadership.
RedCoat Publishing was established in 2003 with American Executive, which was well received in the market, especially by mid-market companies that were not being well served by the traditional business media. Health Executive (now Inside Healthcare) was launched in 2005 to provide practical information and management advice to senior executives in hospitals, physician groups, and long-term care facilities. In 2007, Retail Merchandiser joined the RedCoat group of publications. RM has been bringing case studies and information on consumer issues to mid-sized food, drug, mass, and speciality retailers since 1961.
RedCoat is dedicated to building a dynamic company where employees are valued and empowered. Our goal is to create one of the most successful companies in our field by focusing on creativity, hard work, and camaraderie.
