About The Steven Wick Company
We are architects of connection in a digital age. At our core, The Steven Wick Company is a modern media ecosystem dedicated to bridging divides—between information and understanding, between businesses and their audiences, and between individuals within a community. Through a powerful combination of award-winning journalism, innovative technology, and immersive experiences, we don’t just report the news; we create the platforms and moments that bring people closer to the content, conversations, and opportunities that shape their world.
Our Network: A Portfolio of Purpose-Driven Brands
As a leading digital media organization, we operate through a strategic family of brands, each with a distinct voice and mission, yet united by a common purpose.
- The Steven Wick Company (National Flagship): The cornerstone of our network, this brand represents our national reach and authority. It is dedicated to in-depth storytelling, investigative journalism, and covering the broad forces that define our times.
- Wick & Company News Media: This subsidiary is the engine of our daily journalism, delivering trusted, timely news and analysis across digital platforms. It is where our commitment to clarity and integrity meets the urgency of the news cycle.
- Link Up Network: This is our community pulse. A dynamic network of local media properties, Link Up goes beyond headlines to capture the stories, cultural events, and local champions that give our neighborhoods their unique character. It’s where national narratives meet local impact.
Our Purpose: To Empower and Enrich
Our mission is twofold: to illuminate and to amplify. We believe an informed community is an empowered one. Therefore, we relentlessly pursue the stories that matter—holding power to account, celebrating human achievement, and giving a platform to diverse voices often left unheard. Simultaneously, we empower local commerce. Through tailored marketing solutions, data-driven insights, and high-impact advertising platforms, we provide businesses, from main street shops to growing enterprises, with the tools to find their audience and secure a unique competitive edge.
Our Vision: The Leading Source of Clarity
We envision a society where trust in media is restored through transparency and value. Our goal is to be the essential, clarifying voice within every community we serve. We achieve this not merely by distributing information, but by investing in deep, lasting relationships—with our subscribers, our advertising partners, our investors, and the civic institutions around us. We measure our success by the tangible value we deliver to each of these stakeholders, creating a virtuous circle of trust and growth.
Creating Meaningful Experiences
We recognize that connection happens beyond the screen. Leveraging cutting-edge technology and creative vision, we extend our brand into the physical world through a national portfolio of world-class events, community promotions, and participatory races. These experiences transform passive audiences into active communities, fostering shared moments that resonate and endure.
Our Foundational Core Values
Our principles are the blueprint for every decision we make and every story we tell:
- Obsess Over Customers: We listen intently to our audiences and partners, dedicating ourselves to not just meeting but anticipating their needs, creating value for all stakeholders in our ecosystem.
- Cultivate Community: We are proactive builders of community. We connect neighbors, celebrate local achievements, and foster a culture of continuous learning and mutual growth, both within our organization and outside it.
- Embrace Diversity: Strength lies in difference. We actively seek out and champion diverse perspectives, backgrounds, and experiences, knowing that inclusivity is the only path to truly achieving our mission for everyone.
- Make an Impact: We are results-oriented catalysts. We take bold, decisive action to drive positive change—whether by championing a local cause, innovating in our industry, or holding a mirror to society to inspire progress.
- Act with Integrity: This is our non-negotiable foundation. We uphold the highest ethical standards of journalism and business: honesty, independence, rigor, and a steadfast freedom from bias.
- Experiment with Purpose: We marry curiosity with execution. In a fast-evolving landscape, we champion intelligent, fast-paced experimentation focused squarely on developing real solutions that address the evolving needs of those we serve.

Through this integrated approach—powered by our values, executed through our brands, and focused on our purpose—The Steven Wick Company creates lasting value.
