ABOUT WARD MEDIA
Connecting Businesses, Brands, and Communities — One Story, One Strategy, One Relationship at a Time
We believe the most powerful growth happens when people feel connected. We bring together businesses looking to grow, brands ready to inspire, and communities eager to engage.
Company History
Ward Media began with a passion for community journalism and a commitment to telling the stories that matter. Starting with our weekly newspapers and business journal in North Central Washington, we built a reputation for trusted, local reporting. Soon we expanded our business reporting, launching Kitsap Business to serve the region’s growing professional community. Recognizing the evolving needs of businesses, we added our full-service marketing agency, and Northwest Swag Works, our promotional products division. Today, Ward Media is a diversified media company, combining traditional print, digital marketing, and creative solutions to help businesses grow and communities stay connected.
