How We got started

Best Version Media started in 2007 with the vision of Dave Durand (CEO), Pete Ericksen (COO) and Paul Lubinski (CPO). The trio developed a small handful of magazines in the Milwaukee area for the next five years before the Company expanded across the U.S. in 2012.  Because it works. Today BVM is one of the fastest growing privately held media companies in North America - serving residents, homeowners associations, villages and local businesses across the U.S. and Canada  Best Version Media distributed more than 430 million magazines to residents in 2021. Due to tremendous insight into what readers want, BVM has been able to expand to international territories while continuing to grow across the US currently reaching Home Owners in over 1000 Cities and Every Province in Canada.  Each area is hyper-local.
