Chicago Life Magazine
Faced with changing readership preferences and rising printing costs, Chicago Life Magazine needed a better way to reach online readers.
Chicago Life Digital Magazine and Online Presence

With an upscale audience of more than 200,000 in the Chicago region, reader audience preferences changed, audience demographics began to shift, and printing costs continued to rise. It soon became clear that the magazine needed to provide readers with a way to enjoy its publication online. Without the need for a full-time marketing team member, Chicago Life looked to Message Marketing to provide as-needed digital marketing support to help its company thrive in an ever-changing market.
