60,000 per week. The Flypaper is supported by a website flypaperblog.com

which reaches a worldwide audience of over 53,000 unique visitors per week.

All this within a year's time. Since its inception the Flypaper magazine

has made a huge impact on the community and abroad. From interviewing

celebrities on video to covering national events, the magazine has found

its place with the young urbanite between the ages of 18-40, who stays

informed yet, seeks entertainment. The Flypaper represents the transition

from traditional media to the increasingly popular online media. It also

serves as a great advertising vehicle for medium to large businesses

looking to reach that specific demographic.

The Flypaper has been recognized by some of the most popular entertainment

websites and has been featured in other publications as one of the fastest

growing online magazines in the Midwest.

As Publisher/ Editor-in-chief of the online magazine I managed content for

the weekly issues and daily website. I write articles that represent the

style of our readers including writing for national publications such as

Monarch and Ozone magazines. I identified trends and topics that are

relevant to The Flypaper Magazine audience. I assigned articles and

projects to designated staff writers, videographers, designers,

magazine and work to stay current with the trends in each department.

PROVEN LEADER! I work closely with the management, designers, editors, and

and creative work. I am the face of the magazine and work hard to maintain
