SVPN Team
SVPN Magazine is a dedicated monthly printed publication to celebrating lifestyle, property, arts, entertainment, and dining that defines life and culture in the historic resort area of Sun Valley, Idaho. With a tourist season during summer and winter months, a thriving second-home owner community, and substantial year-round residents, SVPN speaks uniquely to each segment of its population. Our monthly issues offer expansive stories with full spreads, stunning photography, and more editorial pages than any other local magazine, resulting in a reading experience that one can get lost in. Over its 10 years in existence, SVPN has grown into THE go-to resource for everything Sun Valley, resulting in the magazine’s share of the market rising to 75%—meaning commercially we are delivering for our advertisers and our readers.
In addition to keeping our finger on the pulse of our readership, SVPN has developed key partnerships with a variety of organizations, including the coveted Sun Valley Restaurant Association Guide. In addition, SVPN’s growing brand presence has resulted in exclusive media sponsorships of the Sun Valley Film Festival, the Sun Valley Tour de Force, the Sun Valley Music Festival, the Sun Valley Wellness Festival, and the Sun Valley Museum of Art’s Wine Auction.
