Company Profile

Company Description:

Spirited Media is a company committed to finding a new editorial and business model for local journalism, and currently manages Billy Penn in Philadelphia, The Incline in Pittsburgh, and Denverite in Denver.

Our sites are produced and designed for mobile, and are aimed at an under-40 audience. We are all local all the time, and deliver the news via a stream that combines our original stories and curated links to other news of interest to local consumers. First and foremost, we value our readers’ time and their user experience. We circulate our work heavily via social platforms, and create a lively, unique voice for each city we cover.

We are focused on bringing our local audiences together both online and offline, as we hold approximately four to five events per month and derive most of our revenue from events. We also believe that while all cities have real problems, the voices of those trying to solve those problems often go unheard, and we try and cover many of those efforts.
