INNOVATE
WAIT FOR IT...
PPB

er friendly and easier to find your favorite articles. Watch for it coming in September 2016.
PPB
Through The Years
1994
In November 1994 the magazine
introduced itself as
PPB
for the first time—
with the full name and former logo on the
cover as well. It was also the first time the
cover included the Association’s name.
1995
In 1995,
PPB
’s design was out-
sourced for the first time and a fresh look was
introduced, including a new logo.
1996
The new look was further refined by
1996, as reflected in this December 1996
issue, featuring Kim Reinecker, MAS, and
Larry Krause, MAS, in a story about supplier
reps vs. multi-line reps.
2000
As the 20th century was winding
down,
PPB
freshened its cover and design to
meet the new century. In January, the page
count swelled from its usual 220 pages or so
per issue to 304 pages, the largest issue on
record.
2008
By late 2007, it was time for a
design overhaul. The new look continued
through 2014; this May 2012 cover is a good
example.
2014
PPB
’s April 2014 issue introduced
an updated design from cover to cover and,
for the first time, organized content into four
categories: Innovate, Grow, Think and
Connect.
