Flagship Publishing

Flagship Publishing is a privately-held media company that specializes in regional magazine brands and print and digital media products. Its paid-circulation magazine titles include Nebraska Life Magazine, Colorado Life Magazine, Utah Life Magazine and Maui Nō Ka ʻOi Magazine. The company's roots date to 1997 with the founding of Nebraska Life, which grew to become that state's primary general-interest magazine. Following success of that title, in 2012 the owners and staff launched Colorado Life, the main statewide magazine of Colorado travel, photography, nature, food and culture. Flagship's media products connect consumers with the places they love through beautiful photography, fine storytelling, curated advertisements and a fine selection of products. The company's "flagship" titles include statewide magazines, Nebraska Life and Colorado Life. Under each title are a series of books, calendars, websites, travel guides and websites. Flagship's titles and staff regularly win awards for excellence in writing and photography. Flagship employs a staff of 15 plus hundreds of freelance photographers and writers. The majority of staff works at one of two offices: Norfolk, Nebraska, in a renovated circa 1912 downtown storefront with red brick walls, oak floors, skylights and gold painted tin ceilings; or Estes Park, Colorado, in a modern building with views of the Continental Divide and Rocky Mountain National Park, Longs Peak, Lake Estes and seasonal herds of elk grazing nearby. Both offices utilize an open floor plan that encourages collaboration, discussion and a friendly, sharing culture. Flagship's media products grow in audience and revenue year over year. Over time, its flagship titles become beloved household names in the markets they serve. Its subscriber renewal rates and newsstand sell-through rates far surpass industry averages of national magazines.
