Local market focus Target advertisers seeking hyper-local reach in Stowe, Morrisville, Lamoille and Chittenden County. Emphasize opportunities across five weekly newspapers, local guides, and community websites to engage residents and visitors with tailored hyper-local campaigns.

Digital monetization Highlight potential for programmatic and display advertising through existing tech stack (DoubleClick for Publishers, BLOX Digital, Cloudflare) and targeted digital sponsorships on the group’s websites to boost online revenue and cross-sell print-to-digital packages.

Legacy audience Leverage long-tenured readership and trusted local journalism (40-year presence of key staff transitioning) to offer premium branded content, anniversary sponsorships, and community event sponsorships that align with readers’ values.

Event & GUIDE Promote sponsored events, Stowe Guide & Magazine features, and seasonal guides to local businesses. Sell content marketing, directory listings, and advertiser spotlights in both print and digital formats to diversify revenue streams.

Growth potential Position as a lean, regional publisher with a scalable model similar to peers but smaller in staff. Propose bundled packages combining print presence with targeted digital placements to attract SMB advertisers seeking efficient local reach.
