EmpowerLocal — Local Media, Made Shoppable
Local media,
made shoppable.
EmpowerLocal connects advertisers with America's trusted local media — through one platform that handles the complexity.
Local media is powerful — but it's been nearly impossible to buy.
For advertisers — thousands of local communities, no standard way to plan or buy across them.
For publishers — no infrastructure to access national demand without giving up control.
For the industry — a massive trust advantage that no one's been able to unlock at scale.
We built the infrastructure that changes this.
The Local Media Store connects you to 1,000+ trusted local outlets across 200+ markets — print, digital, audio, and experiential — through one simple platform.

What people are saying
EmpowerLocal makes ads on our website incredibly easy. We placed the code once and have been watching the ad revenue roll in every month. It does not get much easier than that. The team is a joy to work with and always quick to answer my million questions. It has been a great partnership from day one.
EmpowerLocal opens up a new world of possibilities for advertisers. As a believer in the power of grassroots marketing, I'm excited to embrace new ways to engage local communities.
Our best revenue initiative, by far, was adding EmpowerLocal. It was also the easiest. The great service made us feel comfortable from day one. And the revenue keeps rolling in.
Life is local.
Trust is built at the local level — by the journalists, editors, and publishers who show up for their communities every day.
We're here to make sure that work survives and thrives, while giving brands premium access to local audiences.
