About

Since starting its flagship publication, CityScene Magazine, in 1999, CityScene Media Group has been dedicated to producing high-quality publications with compelling content. Through our partnerships with clients across the Columbus area, we have grown to publish six community magazines, including Dublin Life, Healthy New Albany, Pickerington, Tri-Village, Westerville and Discover Grove City. In addition to forging lasting partnerships with these communities, we also regularly work with area arts organizations, Chambers of Commerce and leading event organizers to produce event guides, chamber directories, visitors’ guides and other professional publications.

Most recently, we are proud to be the publications partner to the BIA of Central Ohio. CMG publishes the Parade of Homes Official Tour Guide, FOUNDATIONS, the Annual Buyers Guide and Consumer Resource and the quarterly Building Insider Magazine the association’s member-to-member publication.
