Local marketing platform combining print magazines, digital ads, and online business tools
Best Version Media operates a hyperlocal advertising and publishing business built around community magazines paired with digital marketing services. The tech stack is predominantly marketing and sales operations—HubSpot, Salesforce, Google Ads, Meta, DSP—reflecting a sales-driven org where 98% of open roles are in sales, supported by thin design and operations functions. Active pain points around client churn, onboarding friction, and digital revenue growth suggest the company is navigating a shift from print-primary to omnichannel, while rapid hiring velocity (756 roles posted in 30 days) indicates aggressive market expansion.
Best Version Media sells integrated marketing solutions to small and midsize local businesses across North America. The core offering combines print advertising in locally-published community magazines with digital campaigns (display, social, search), online business listings, and review management. The company operates in the United States, Canada, Finland, and Peru. Founded in 2007, Best Version Media has grown to 201–500 employees and maintains headquarters in Brookfield, Wisconsin. The business model is sales-intensive: the organization is structured almost entirely around field and inside sales roles, with minimal supporting functions in design, operations, and finance.
HubSpot, Salesforce, Google Ads, Meta, Monday.com, Freshdesk, Sage Intacct, Google Analytics, and design tools (Figma, Sketch, Adobe XD). The stack is weighted toward sales enablement and marketing operations.
Core projects include selling print and digital advertising, establishing community publications in new markets, growing the book of business, launching multi-channel branding programs, and increasing digital ad revenue alongside traditional print offerings.
