Tom Conradi, a veteran sales and marketing executive at Chicago magazine,<\/a> has been promoted to publisher\/general manager of the city\u2019s premier monthly.<\/p>\n

Conradi, 47, who\u2019s been advertising director of Chicago magazine since 2008 and director of national sales and development since 2010, was given the additional title of interim publisher<\/a> last August.<\/p>\n

In announcing Conradi\u2019s permanent appointment as publisher\/general manager Tuesday, Joseph Schiltz, senior vice president of marketing and targeted media for Chicago Tribune Media Group, said in a statement: \u201cTom\u2019s leadership of Chicago magazine and accomplishments leading the sales team \u2014 combined with his career expertise in digital and print media \u2014 will suit him well in this position.\u201d<\/p>\n

In his new role, Conradi will be responsible for the strategic direction of the magazine and will oversee day-to-day business operations. His appointment bolsters claims that Chicago Tribune Media Group does not plan to sell the publication in the near future.<\/p>\n

\"Chicago\"<\/a>The position has been vacant since last June, when Rich Gamble, a 16-year veteran of Tribune Co., stepped down<\/a> after five years as publisher\/general manager. Gamble left the company to become senior vice president of operations at the Chicago Zoological Society, which runs Brookfield Zoo.<\/p>\n

Conradi, a graduate of Notre Dame High School for Boys and Columbia College, began in 1990 as an account executive with Pioneer Press, then owned by Sun-Times parent company Hollinger International. He joined Tribune Co. as a classified advertising manager in 1999 and later headed the Chicago Tribune\u2019s classified division.<\/p>\n

\u201cI am proud to represent the Chicago brand and lead a talented team of dedicated individuals,\u201d Conradi said in a statement Tuesday. \u201cWe are primed for a great year ahead, as we look to expand our video capabilities and custom publishing, as well as focus on new branded experiences with Chicago.\u201d<\/p>\n

Elizabeth Fenner continues as editor in chief.<\/p>\n
