The Towne Post Network is a family-owned franchise system of hyper-local magazines with supporting websites, mobile app, social media, and video production. Currently, we publish 14 Central Indiana magazines and three Kentucky magazines.

The idea for Towne Post was born from Founder and CEO Tom Britt’s unwavering passion and pioneering attitude towards publishing and printed media. As early as 1990, Britt was lauded for his innovative approach to streamlining the processes of publication and digital media, before establishing his own ‘dot com’ start-up that acted as a TV guide for the world of online streaming.

Despite his international acclaim as a trailblazer in the future of digital media, Britt remained resolute in his belief in the power of print media too. In 2003, he decided to merge the two into a local portal concept in his hometown of Indianapolis, launching his first website, atGeist.com, for the Geist Reservoir community. After gaining some traction, Tom set about creating an adjoining magazine that he distributed to 2,800 residents in his community, using the name of the website as its title to demonstrate that this was not just a magazine, but an entire media concept with an inclusive online community. The rest, as they say, is history.

Today, Towne Post franchisees share local news about new restaurants, community events, star citizens and more in a platform that integrates traditional and modern media seamlessly. In addition to its key features such as visible, real-time financials, Towne Post has recently expanded its capabilities to include the US’s first online media kit that enables advertisers to purchase all mediums online without a sales representative for a ‘contactless’ sales experience, and a real-time analytics function that provides the most accurate and efficient indicators of a publication’s reach in the history of publishing.
