Social Magazines Recognized in Inc. Magazines’s Power Partner Awards
The world’s most trusted business media, Inc. Magazine, recognizes Social Magazines as a leading marketing and advertising B2B partner empowering business growth in their annual 2023 Power Partner Awards.
The 2nd Annual Power Partner Awards, honoring B2B organizations across the globe that have proven track records supporting entrepreneurs and helping startups grow was published in the November 2023 issue of Inc. Magazine and Social Magazines made the list.
The Power Partner Awards recognizes 389 firms in marketing and advertising, health and wellness, financial services, legal, logistics, and productivity, as well as other areas of business. In the Marketing and Advertising category, Social Magazines was one out of just nine companies featured.
Scott Omelianuk, editor-in-chief of Inc. Business Media says “Trusted B2B partners provide guidance and expertise that founders rely on at various steps of their organization’s journey. Partners that possess a demonstrated ability to deliver quality support are at the core of entrepreneurship and help bring big ideas to life.”
When the Social Magazines Franchise launched in 2014, Publishers Heather and Andrew Vreeland already had six years under their belt in the publishing business running their original concept, Occasions Magazine, since 2008. “From the beginning of our journey as entrepreneurs ourselves, Inc. Magazine has been a source of aspiration and education we constantly looked to. To be recognized now after 15 years in the business is an incredible milestone for us.” shares the Vreelands. “Since we do most of the ‘featuring’ around here as a magazine, it feels even more special to experience that recognition ourselves.”
When businesses apply for consideration, Inc.’s team of editors researches and gathers information from client surveys on a pointed set of questions about performance, especially asking “What is it about this company's products or services that makes you choose it over those of its competitors?” The cumulative research and responses are used to assess which companies they can confidently say are devoted to providing entrepreneurs with the tools and resources they need to start, run, and grow their business.
Indeed Social Magazines is committed to doing just that by increasing awareness of community brands, in a way that reaches everyone with lasting influence.
“You could call us Print Evangelists,” continues Heather, “no business can have an omnipresent marketing strategy – one where they are everywhere their customer is – without print.”
We make sure it’s the very best print.
Social Magazines is relentless in their pursuit to be ‘print done right’ focusing on high volume, verified circulation. The Vreelands say “It’s the only way to do print in 2023 and combat years of declining reputation for an industry that literally invented the business of advertising.”
Leading with community-driven content that drives local interest, Social Magazines delivers measurable ROI for advertisers. “What the last 15 years has shown us is people like to be in-the-know without interruptions, time limits, or algorithms controlling the message.”
“You could call us Print Evangelists because no business can have an omnipresent marketing funnel – one where they are everywhere their customer is – without print. ”
