Today Media

What Today Media does

Today Media is a privately held, multiplatform regional publishing company headquartered in Wilmington, Delaware, operating lifestyle magazines, business publications, digital platforms, events, and custom publishing services across a four-state East Coast footprint covering Delaware, Pennsylvania, New York, and Maryland. Its core titles include Delaware Today, Main Line Today, Westchester Magazine, Hudson Valley Magazine, Bethesda Magazine (now under the MoCo360 Media brand), the Delaware Business Times, and 914 Inc., with sub-brands such as Westchester Home and Weddings Today. The company is owned by Martinelli Holdings LLC and operates with 101–250 employees distributed across regional offices in Wilmington, Paoli, Rye, Fishkill, and Bethesda.

The underlying technology is a conventional multiplatform publishing stack: content management systems for print and digital production, email marketing and newsletter platforms, programmatic and geo-fenced digital ad-serving tools, connected TV and video ad inventory, and an in-house Creative Studio for custom branded publications. There is no evidence of proprietary AI/ML, data-platform, or software-as-a-service products; the offering is media and advertising services rather than technology licensing.

Revenue is generated almost entirely through advertising across four streams: print advertising in regional magazines, digital advertising (display, geo-fencing, CTV, video, native, email), event sponsorship and production, and custom publishing for institutional clients such as CVBs, Chambers of Commerce, and Healthcare Systems. Go-to-market is sales-led via Multi-Media Account Executives distributed across regional offices. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed; the company advertises integrated, multi-channel packages rather than standardized rate cards. Customer evidence points to a long tail of SMB, mid-market, and occasional enterprise advertisers (e.g., Pepe Auto Group, Artisans' Bank, Kreston Wine and Spirits, Hilyard's Business Solutions) with no disclosed anchor contracts.

Direct peers

• Metrocorp Publishing: Metrocorp operates regional city magazines such as Philadelphia Magazine, Boston Magazine, and Atlanta Magazine.

• Hour Media: Hour Media publishes a portfolio of regional city and lifestyle magazines (Hour Detroit, Cincinnati Magazine, Seattle Magazine, Nashville Lifestyles). Closely comparable: multiple regional lifestyle titles, print-plus-digital advertising model, custom publishing, and events.

Broad incumbents
