Testimonials

CAM JACKSON

What a great group of people to work with. We have done business together in and around Calgary for 9 years. I target my advertising campaigns with Great News Media every month in their community newsletter magazines. The response is always very strong – sometimes too much so. If you want to control your budget, and create huge awareness of your business at the community level, do in their community magazines. People continue to respond to my ads and they trust my business. Thanks Great News Media!

Great News Media has worked well for us at Riverwalk. Especially the insert in the community newsletters. The publications allow us to directly target market our demographic. This has had a direct impact on qualified people asking to tour our show suite. The team at Great News media is excellent to work with and helpful!

We have been blessed with advertising with Great News Media for a number of years. It's been an amazing experience both due to the great staff that we have been privileged to work with and from the company perspective the ROI has more than justified it. We look forward to continuing this relationship for years to come.

We love these community magazines that we recieve monthly. It is our way of being involved in the community, events, news stories, and relevant partners. These are very well written, designed and crafted. We chose our vendors from here and then turned around to advertise with great new media ourselves! We were pleasantly surprised with how many unique options they have both digitally and with print to advertise your business. If you are looking to advertise within a community then look no further! We would highly recommend them!
