Welcome to Locable
Locable is revolutionizing local media by creating a network of incredibly relevant local sites. We partner with established legacy publishers and new independents alike to bring local communities and communities of interest together while helping local businesses be a part of the conversation.
Locable started as a research project at the University of Washington, where we thought an ad and content network could be built around the nation’s community magazines. As the hyperlocal space started to mature and we began speaking with publishers, advertisers, and agencies we realized what an important role these magazines played in their community. Community is important, personal, and intimate and it’s impossible to build an engaging community website without a strong local presence. This is why we choose to partner with local publishers instead of going at it alone. We saw an opportunity to truly serve hyperlocal communities all over the country by helping existing publishers evolve from a good local publishing business to a great local media business.
Who is Locable?
The desire to connect with people around us made main street a great and integral part of America’s growth. We serve that same motivation only online. We’re passionate about working with great local publishers, local businesses, and community-minded people to make a different and create “the Main Street for the 21st century.”
Local relevance combined with national reach provides a key competitive advantage and only with the help of local publishers can we accomplish both.
We’re a true partner. Your success is our success and we’ll never stop trying to make things better.
