Vicki Long: Visionary Work in Catholic Media

 In the heart of Cincinnati, Ohio, Vicki Long stands out as a pivotal figure in the world of Catholic media. As Business Owner and Publisher for Decided Excellence Catholic Media, Vicki has carved out a unique niche by connecting local businesses with an engaged, affluent Catholic audience through her publications.

Decided Excellence Catholic Media: A Trusted Resource

Decided Excellence Catholic Media is not your typical magazine company. It operates across 22 states, touching over 91 markets from coast to coast. What sets Vicki's magazines apart is their intimate connection with their readership. These aren't publications that merely pass through a home; they are welcomed, cherished, and become part of the household's daily life. They sit on coffee tables, are discussed in family conversations, shared among friends, and are not just read but deeply engaged with.

Vicki's strategy is simple yet effective: she introduces her sponsors' businesses directly into the lives of an audience that not only has the means to engage with these services but also the social capital to expand that engagement within their personal networks. This creates a ripple effect of trust and community support.

A Focus on Community and Quality

The magazines under Vicki's stewardship are more than just media; they are a community hub. They feature local sponsor content alongside community news, creating a symbiotic relationship where everyone benefits. Readers trust the magazine, and by extension, they trust the sponsors featured within its pages. Over time, these sponsors evolve into trusted advisors, a testament to the sustained relationship built through the magazine's pages.

Highlighting Local Success: Laurissa Krishock and I Am Ready

One of Vicki's successful sponsors is Laurissa Krishock, Owner of I Am Ready in Mason Parish Neighbors. Laurissa’s business is dedicated to preparing young drivers for the unexpected on the road, thus potentially saving lives. Through Vicki's magazine, Laurissa has found a platform to reach an audience that values safety, community, and the well-being of their young ones. This sponsorship is a prime example of how Vicki's media outlets are not just about advertising but about fostering a community where businesses like I Am Ready can thrive by genuinely contributing to the welfare of the community.

Impact and Engagement

Surveys have consistently shown that the readership of Decided Excellence Catholic Media is not only large but also highly engaged. The magazines are kept, discussed, and passed around, ensuring that the content (and by extension, the sponsors) remain top-of-mind. This engagement translates into a unique advertising environment where sponsors are not just seen but are part of the community dialogue.

Vicki Long's work goes beyond business; it's about building a network where faith, community, and commerce intersect in a meaningful way. Her approach to media is innovative in how it leverages the trust and loyalty of a specific demographic to create lasting business relationships. Through her publications, Vicki has demonstrated that media can be both a business model and a community builder, ensuring that every page turned is an opportunity for connection, education, and support within the Catholic community.

Vicki Long’s publications not only redefine what Catholic media can be but also show how deeply intertwined community engagement can be with successful business practices. Her magazines are not just read; they are experienced, cherished, and acted upon, showcasing her sponsors and providing trusted advisor solutions for her readership.
