Who We Are

Voice Media Group is a diversified media and technology company that specializes in serving advertisers, business owners and readers across the country as the digital heir to one of America’s most successful media organizations.

The Denver-based company’s digital agency advertising business, V Digital Services (VDS), has seen double-digit growth since its inception in 2013 and now has twelve regional offices in the United States along with a growing presence in international markets. The full-service team at VDS includes a wide array of specialists, all based in the U.S. and all devoted to helping businesses succeed in the mobile-digital space.

VDS’s digital expertise dovetails with VMG’s iconic media properties, which today include Phoenix New Times, Denver Westword, the Dallas Observer, and Miami New Times. VMG’s decades-long history of journalistic excellence and signature events have allowed it to maintain a strong national footprint while making targeted reductions in its print newspaper portfolio.

As part of a corporate realignment that began when a new ownership group took control of the company in 2012, VMG has successfully sold several newspaper properties, including the Village Voice in New York City, SF Weekly in San Francisco and Seattle Weekly. This strategic repositioning has allowed VMG to flow additional resources into V Digital Services while continuing to focus on select pillar publications. In addition to serving hundreds of local business owners, VMG and VDS now provide web and digital services to newspapers and web sites across the country and sell national advertising for 53 partner sites and publications with weekly print distribution of 3 million and 95 million page views per month.

With certified experts trained in everything from organic SEO and programmatic advertising to web development, pay-per-click advertising and social media management, VDS excels at forging relationships with advertising partners and making cutting-edge digital strategies affordable for clients across a range of industries.

Mission

We’re a client-based company on a mission: combining data with personal touch to help customers grow their business. We don’t sell people products and services they don’t need. Instead, we use client-centered selling to craft a customer journey unmatched in the digital space.
Most of all, we’re a trusted pipeline to millions of active readers and customers in some of America’s most vibrant markets.

At VMG, we’re about embracing change to power progress.
