The Platform
The platform that makes local media shoppable
LocalMedia.store brings together thousands of local publishers across every format — and gives advertisers and publishers the tools to work together at scale.
Explore LocalMedia.storeThe gap we're closing
Local media is fragmented by nature. Thousands of independent publishers across every format — newspapers, newsletters, podcasts, radio, digital sites, events. Each serving different communities, with different audiences, different rates, different capabilities.
For advertisers, the coordination complexity has been overwhelming. Reaching local audiences through actual local media meant dozens of separate relationships, contracts, specs, and reports.
For publishers, the sales infrastructure required to reach national demand has been out of reach.
LocalMedia.store is the layer that makes local media accessible — for both sides.
The Marketplace
LocalMedia.store

LocalMedia.store is the central entry point for advertisers seeking to reach local audiences through trusted media partners. Discover publishers by geography, format, audience, or category. Plan campaigns across multiple outlets and channels. Generate proposals in minutes instead of weeks. Execute through one relationship — one contract, one report, complexity handled.
- Every format: websites, newsletters, podcasts, radio, print, events
- Every market: all 50 states, 7,000+ outlets mapped
- AI-powered campaign planning and proposals
- One contract, one report — complexity handled
Storefronts
Professional sales tools for every publisher
Every publisher in the network can have their own storefront — a professional digital presence showcasing their audience, inventory, and rates.
Storefronts work in two ways: within the marketplace, advertisers browsing LocalMedia.store discover your profile and include you in campaigns. As a standalone destination, you promote your storefront URL directly — giving local advertisers a way to find and work with you.
Built-in tools handle the work that used to require dedicated sales staff: answering advertiser questions, generating proposals, capturing leads.

Publishers selling together
Some budgets require scale that no single local publisher can offer. A national retailer running a regional campaign. A brand launching across multiple markets. An agency planning a multi-format buy.
Hubs solve this. A hub brings together publishers in a market or category — creating a collective that advertisers can access through a single buying interface. One proposal covers thirty publishers. One contract. One report.
Regional Hubs
Publishers organized by geography. An advertiser wanting to reach Chicago can buy across 35+ local outlets in one transaction.
Vertical Hubs
Publishers organized by category. Parenting media. Alternative newsweeklies. City magazines. Buy across the category nationally.
One connected ecosystem
The marketplace, storefronts, and hubs aren't separate products — they're integrated components of one platform.
An advertiser might discover a publisher through the marketplace, explore their storefront for detail, realize a hub gives them access to similar publishers across the region — and plan a campaign that spans all of it.
A publisher might participate in a hub for collective campaigns, maintain their own storefront for direct local sales, and receive demand from the marketplace — all through one dashboard, with revenue flowing from multiple sources.
The platform is the connective layer.
