The Cincinnati media scene’s getting a little more crowded. 

Early next year, the quarterly pub Venue Magazine, dba Venue Lifestyle & Event Guide  (@VenueLifestyle on Twitter, though no one’s Tweeted since January) will be unveiling “LEAD Cincinnati: The Publication for Business Executives.”

…. here’s a circulating version of the LEAD Cincinnati cover as a PDF: LEAD Magazine from Venue Magazine, new Business-oriented pub, debuts in February 2013

…. here’s the Fall 2012 edition of Venue Magazine, dba Venue Lifestyle and Event Guide, also as a PDF: Fall 2012 version of Venue Magazine, launching LEAD Cincinnati in February 2013

LEAD Cincinnati and Venue Magazine are published by Steve Wanamaker, a Cincinnati native whose previous publishing included “Inspire Cincinnati.” Wanamaker is a graduate of Colerain High School and a 1994 University of Cincinnati graduate who grew up in West Chester; the Venue Mag/LEAD Cincinnati offices are on Glendale-Milford Road in Evendale.

“It’s my desire to create world-class media products that reflect our community and the incredible organizations within,” Wanamaker said in a phone interview today.

“We don’t just want to produce the best magazine in Cincinnati. We want to produce the best magazine in the world,” Wanamaker added.

The first issue of LEAD Cincinnati will be between 200-250 pages; Wanamaker declined to discuss pricing.

“LEAD Cincinnati, like Venue, will be a ‘showpiece’ publication. We’re hoping to grow it for many, many years, reflecting on all the great things in our business community.”
