Are you a creative agency, designer, or print specialist with a passion for storytelling, design, and place-making? Colmore Business District is inviting proposals to manage the production, design, and print of our flagship publication, Colmore Life magazine.

Published three times a year, Colmore Life is more than just a magazine — it’s the voice of our vibrant business community, capturing the energy, innovation and culture of central Birmingham. With a print run of 5,500 copies per edition, distributed directly to businesses and high-footfall areas like Snow Hill Station, this is your opportunity to shape a leading consumer-facing brand for the city.

The successful bidder will take on full production of three editions (Autumn/Winter 2025, Spring 2026, and Summer 2026), working closely with the Colmore BID team to curate compelling content, eye-catching design, and impactful print quality.

Whether you’re an agency, a collective, or an individual freelancer — we want to hear from you.
