Where Community Comes First
About Scene Magazine
Scene Magazine served the people who live and work in the Battle Creek / Marshall area of Southwest Michigan. Scene Magazine was published as a state-of-the-art, targeted marketing vehicle with a positive point of view. Scene was published twelve times per year. Scene was distributed free through our advertisers, area professional offices, and key points of interest in the Battle Creek, Springfield, Urbandale, and Marshall area.
Scene’s high quality production valued fabulous cover designs, and in-depth coverage of one broadly significant topic per issue, which made it a must-read for adults who care about this community.
You would likely find a copy proudly displayed in lobbies, in waiting rooms, and on coffee tables, all over town. Scene was also hand delivered, for free distribution to the general public, to over 100 locations throughout our market area. Scene understood the power of being completely local in focus. Scene Magazine earned the trust of our readers; that trust extended to our advertisers.
Scene Magazine served as a positive voice as we shared all that our community had to offer. We sought to recognize the positive impact of area leaders including individuals, organizations, and businesses. Each issue of Scene Magazine had a reason to become someone’s favorite.
