Our History

We’ve been rooted in Minneapolis since 1972, creating content for brands since 1978. One of the first publishing companies in the industry to expand into this realm, we’ve always been risk-takers, ready to identify new opportunities and take bold steps forward. Over the last four decades, we’ve developed more than 225 print and digital titles and platforms, in every imaginable space. Part of our work includes two magazines of our own: Mpls.St.Paul and Twin Cities Business—they’ve become established, industry-leading publications that now define and represent the city.

Having an ingrained expertise in storytelling, we know what triggers engagement, captures audiences and sells product. Today, we’re a modern brand with a rich legacy, integrating all we’ve learned in the past with bright new ideas, confidently paving the way through contemporary digital spaces.
