Values and Principles

At Cahaba Media Group, our most important value is INTEGRITY.  We do what we say we are going to do, and we do the right thing.

We believe that our reputation as individuals and as an organization is our most valuable asset, and we work everyday to improve the value of our reputation.

We value honesty and treating people right more than we value money, and we endeavor to treat our vendors and customers in this way.  We seek accounts, not just orders, and we do not want customers who are not receiving real value from doing business with us.

We produce products for our readers that are designed to be imminently practical, timely, readable and useful.  This builds reader loyalty, and our advertisers value a loyal readership.  We employ Editorial Advisory Boards for each of our magazines made up of well known industry experts who work with our editorial staff to ensure that our content is always relevant and useful to its audience.

We seek to be good customers ourselves, and treat our vendors as we would want them to treat us.  We want to be the kind of customer that our vendors enjoy doing business with.   We play fair, we are honest with our requirements and feedback, and we pay our bills on time.

Cahaba Media Group is a growing company with an entrepreneurial atmosphere.  This means that we work hard, we value thrift and modesty, and we are keenly focused on our products and our customers.

We believe that there is more to life than money, and that a good work-life balance is critical to a person's long tern success.
