In each sample case presented here, you'll be able to view these partners' magazine-style stories in either a digital flip book format—which works great on a laptop—or in our responsive format, which works well anywhere, but is designed specifically for mobile devices.

Of course, the key to our initiative is in the every-door, every taxpayer approach to distribution. We use an old school technology—the U.S. Post Office—to make sure your our partners' 24-page physical magazines, and the important stories within them, reach every household and commercial address up to 4X per year. And, by the way, this program is certainly adaptable to less frequent distribution than quarterly. We offer a semi-annual and even an annual option. The key, however, remains the method of content distribution — physical magazines placed directly in every district household. There is a very good reason for this approach. Simply put, there is no better way to reach every taxpayer with local school messaging than to drop it in their mailbox. Electronic and digital distribution will only reach a small percentage of your entire tax-base, those who are directly attached by a student to your district.

​

Remember, only 1-in-5 households has a school age child, which means two important things: 1.) 80% of your tax base is beyond your school's digital reach. 2.) Failure to adequately tell your story to your entire community means someone else will tell their version of that story. And THAT version is not always the one you'd tell. The unifying power of your positive aggregate school story is a very powerful thing. Our partners have, to a person, all told us that it has been the best thing they've ever done for community engagement. Adult subjects we've featured will frequently tell us how much the magazine has come to mean to them. Put simply, community communications done with this depth and at this level is a game-changer.

Listen to a few podcasts as well and get a feel for how these leaders are using a multi-pronged media approach to engage the totality of their communities. Probably our most effective podcast partner is Shannon Anderson at Momence. He has utilized the medium to 'hero' his education team, connect more deeply with community volunteers, and share more about the role played by his partners at the local career center as well as his ROE leadership. These episodes are 100% handled by Journey12, from interviewing your guests to producing the shows, to hosting the episodes. And they also appear on Apple Podcasts, iHeart Radio, and Spotify, as well as your custom branded landing page, as you will see in Shannon's case.
