In 1998, a creative entrepreneur running a small graphic design studio approached her fiancé, in his first year of law school and working a part-time clerking job, with an idea to start a magazine. The pair partnered up with a long-time friend, vetted the concept and started the business – each investing $150 to get their new company off the ground. With their $450, creativity, grit, good timing and a measure of luck, the trio soon proved the concept viable, and a new local lifestyle magazine was born.
Over the next decade, their flagship publication amassed a following of loyal readers and prominent advertisers, by delivering the ideal blend of lifestyle, entertainment and human interest stories the community craved. AVENTURA magazine was a hit, earning several awards including Charlie Awards for design excellence and writing excellence from the Florida Magazine Association.
