Ocean Home Magazine

What Ocean Home Magazine does

Ocean Home Magazine is a bi-monthly, print and digital luxury coastal lifestyle publication founded in 2006 and operated as a title under RMS Media Group Inc., a privately held Massachusetts corporation founded by Rick Sedler in 2002. The magazine covers coastal architecture, interior design, landscape design, real estate, travel, and outdoor living, and reaches subscribers in the United States, the Caribbean, Mexico, Hawaii, the United Kingdom, New Zealand, and Canada. Its technology stack is a conventional publishing platform: a WordPress-based website at oceanhomemag.com, SimpleCirc for print subscription lifecycle management, Zinio for cross-device digital distribution, and an rmsmgstore.com e-commerce storefront for single-issue and back-issue sales. There is a single mobile-app surface via the Zinio apps rather than a proprietary mobile product.

The business model is a hybrid of consumer subscriptions and B2B advertising. Revenue is generated from print and digital subscriptions (annual billing cadence, pricing not publicly disclosed), display and editorial advertising placements sold to luxury brands in categories including architecture, interior design, real estate, and travel, and one-time single-issue sales. The audience is affluent coastal homeowners and luxury-lifestyle enthusiasts; the customer base for advertising is luxury coastal-lifestyle brands. The company inaugurated the Ocean Home Awards in 2025, an annual recognition program for coastal residential design, which is positioned as both an editorial and commercial extension of the core publication.

The organization is small (11–50 employees), founder-led (CEO Rick Sedler), and has no disclosed external funding, M&A activity, partnerships, or restructuring events. Operations are anchored to a headquarters at 21 Middle Street, Newburyport, Massachusetts (also referenced as Andover, MA at the parent level), with contact paths for subscriptions, customer service, advertising, and general inquiries.
