TOTI Media, Inc. is a private hyperlocal community media company headquartered in Fort Myers, Florida, serving the Southwest Florida region including Lee County communities such as Cape Coral, Fort Myers, Bonita Springs, Estero, Sanibel, and Captiva. The company operates a multi-channel local media platform anchored by toti.com, a community portal that combines an event calendar (34,104+ events), a local business directory (1,970+ listings), and editorial content across lifestyle verticals (Life+Leisure, Shop+Dine, Health+Beauty, Local Living, Travel). Alongside the digital hub, TOTI Media publishes five regional lifestyle magazines — RSW Living, Times of the Islands, Bonita & Estero, Cape Coral Living, and Gulf & Main — distributed through subscriptions, hotels, restaurants, and local businesses.

The company's underlying technology is provided by the Locable Publisher Network, which supplies the content management system, event calendar, business directory, and multi-publication publishing infrastructure for toti.com. TOTI Media also operates pr.toti.com as a dedicated sponsored content / native advertising platform. The company does not disclose any proprietary technology development, AI/ML capabilities, APIs, or in-house engineering beyond platform configuration and editorial operations.

TOTI Media's revenue is generated through six streams: print magazine advertising, digital advertising on toti.com, magazine subscription revenue, business directory listings, sponsored/native content via pr.toti.com, and event promotion services. Pricing is not publicly disclosed; advertising rates and subscription fees are quote-based and obtained through rate request submissions. The customer base is a long-tail mix of local SMBs, hospitality advertisers (e.g., Sanibel Harbour Marriott), automotive (Volkswagen of Fort Myers), retail (Norman Love Confections), healthcare (Lee Health), and community nonprofits (ECHO, Cape Coral Animal Shelter), with the City of Cape Coral serving as a GTM partner for event promotion.
