CLEVELAND, OHIO — Jan. 1, 2023 — Celebrating 90 years of covering pest control, business-to-business (B2B) media brand Pest Management Professional (PMP) is unveiling its brand redesign. It offers a modern look for PMP’s logo, and print, digital, and social media content, as well as expanded information supporting the professional pest control community’s success. Additionally, parent company North Coast Media (NCM) is publishing a special 13th edition commemorating the 90th anniversaries of PMP and the National Pest Management Association (NPMA) in 2023.

“The PMP brand will deliver more technical content than ever before to help pest control businesses thrive, plus it all will be presented in ways that make it more captivating, intuitive and approachable,” says PMP Editor-in-Chief Heather Gooch.
