Who We Are
Bringing People Together
Best Version Media has been connecting communities and helping businesses grow since 2007. We started with just six local magazines in the Milwaukee, Wisconsin area before expanding across the U.S. and Canada in 2012. We’re now one of the fastest-growing companies in the industry with tens of thousands of advertisers and millions of monthly readers.
Our vision is to unite the hearts and minds of communities – one person, one home, one business at a time. Every new edition brings us closer to our goal of a better tomorrow. BVM publications avoid controversial topics and exclusively focus on sharing positive, family-friendly stories and information every month. Our innovative lineup of print and digital advertising solutions adds value to local businesses by connecting them to customers and keeping them top-of-mind in the community. We’re committed to bringing people together by building and strengthening relationships in over 1,300 local communities.
We’ve become a leader in the industry by creating world-class entrepreneurial opportunities designed to offer impressive earning potential, flexibility and all the resources needed to build a successful business. BVM Publishers have the exciting opportunity to create their own professional identity by starting a magazine that unites neighbors and supports local businesses. Our supportive teams at Home Office guide our Publishers to success and lighten their workloads so they can focus on fulfilling our mission of bringing people together.
Our Culture
Culture isn’t just a buzzword at BVM. Ours is ignited by three founding principles: professional will, compassionate heart and a fun-loving spirit, all centered on humility. We take pride in our work, lend a hand to those in need, and have fun as we reach new heights together. We value family, teamwork, and an open exchange of ideas as we strive to become the best versions of ourselves.
Our workplace culture has caught the attention of countless organizations, including Glassdoor, Fortune, Great Place to Work, Top Workplaces USA and the Stevie Awards for Great Employers. We’re an innovative team committed to offering exceptional entrepreneurial opportunities and impactful advertising solutions for local businesses.
