Atlanta, November 3, 2026: Site Selection, the leading publication covering global corporate real estate strategy and economic development that is now in its 73rd year of publication, this week welcomes the return of Savannah Yawn to full-time status as senior editor and director of audience engagement.
Yawn brings to the team years of relationship-building with stakeholders in economic development and corporate strategy and considerable experience across a broad range of daily news and business journalism. She will also contribute substantial business savvy when it comes to social media, podcasts and audience growth.
“We are thrilled to have Savannah back on board with us in a full-time role,” said Adam Bruns, editor in chief and head of publications for Site Selection. “She is fully grounded in our subject matter, but even more than her knowledge base, her warm tone, solutions-based approach and natural curiosity build relationships and compelling stories at the same time.”
Yawn began her journalism career at The Times in Gainesville, Georgia, and previously served as managing editor of Conway Custom Content. She later held senior communications and marketing roles at global supply chain technology companies RELEX Solutions and AIMMS.
“Site Selection has been an important part of my professional journey, and I’m excited to return in this new role,” said Yawn. “I’m fascinated by the complex factors that shape corporate investment decisions and the communities whose vision and determination make those investments possible. I look forward to sharing their stories with our readers while finding new ways to engage our audience and deepen their connection with Site Selection.”
“Savannah brings a rare combination of editorial expertise, marketing experience and understanding of economic development,” said Charles FitzGibbon, chief operations officer for Conway Data and vice president of sales for Site Selection. “As we continue to expand the ways Site Selection serves its readers and partners, she’ll play an important role in developing new editorial platforms and connecting our content with the audiences who value it.”
In addition to Yawn and Bruns, Site Selection’s multi-generational editorial staff, with nearly 100 years of collective journalism experience, also includes Conway Data Executive Vice President and recent American Society of Business Publication Editors national award nominee Ron Starner; Managing Editor Kelly Barraza and Senior Editor Alexis Elmore.
