Bottom line, Editors’ Picks is where you discover the Okanagan. 

Each week we encourage and motivate our audience to get out, discover, and experience the amazing brands, businesses, and events going on in our neighbourhoods because we’re all about that Okanagan lifestyle—you know, the one that celebrates the local food and beverage scene, meaningful conversations, attractions for us to experience, unique entertainment opportunities, renowned hospitality, beauty and wellness products, the latest fashion, and more. Essentially if it’s relevant to the Okanagan, it’s on our platform. 

And we do this because we’re locals! We’re real people who love this valley as much as you do.

We live, work, and dream in this area, so we have a firm understanding of what makes the Okanagan so incredible. Our team also has the pulse on what’s culturally relevant: everything from local entrepreneurship, innovative ideas and marketing, to conversations about real struggles and success stories. That’s what you’ll find with Editors’ Picks Okanagan.

If you’re curious about the actual individuals behind our platform, we’re a division of Grant Communications, a boutique Marketing & PR agency. Our founder, Natalie Grant, has a passion for marketing but also for publishing and magazines. 

“I love the magazine world,” Natalie says, “and I love experiencing and promoting local culture and business.” 

Editors’ Picks Okanagan is just our way of doing that! 

“While the magazine world is naturally drawn to fashion and trends and things that look aesthetically appetizing, we’re more curious about getting to know the brands and the people behind it,” Natalie explains.  

“Everything is a visual thing these days, but we want to support the humans behind it all. That’s our niche.”

If you’re a business or local entrepreneur, we want to work with YOU. The person behind the product. Our goal is to highlight the real individuals as well as the road and tools you used to get your business to where it is today.

While we’re a new platform, we’ve already seen tremendous growth over the last two years. We’re so incredibly grateful to get to support our fellow community members with thoughtful editorials, social media content, and a weekly round-up to help share exciting news and the hottest deals. 

And we get it—times are tough right now. We feel the current economic struggles as much as your next-door-neighbour because we might just be the person living beside you. So while we have to remain competitive with our rates, we’re hardworking individuals who remain fair to our advertisers.

You can learn more about us on our website, and stay up-to-date on the what’s what when you sign up for our newsletter. Also, feel free to reach out and request our media kit! We guarantee you’ll be impressed with our latest stats and our commitment to working with you.
