Their support of our business through advertising, and just as importantly their genuine support of the artists we represent, has truly made a difference. They take the time to tell stories with care and intention, shining a light on the people and creativity behind local businesses. That kind of thoughtfulness matters. We deeply value our relationship with LKN Magazine and are grateful to be part of a community they so beautifully support. We look forward to many more years together.

Working with Keela and Brooke at LKN Magazine went far beyond our expectations! From the very beginning, they were thoughtful, intentional, and truly invested in showcasing our award-winning designs for the Lake Norman Homebuilders Association: Best of the Lake awards announcement in the best way possible. We, at Pippin Home Designs, won Best in Show and Keela made sure we went on the cover of the magazine! They took the time to study how the awards had been presented in past magazines and made it their mission to elevate the announcement - pushing the creative direction, refining the storytelling, and ensuring the final result felt fresh, inspiring, and worthy of the honor. The level of care and attention they brought to every detail made us feel as though the entire magazine was designed just for us. Thank you so much, Keela and Brooke! Kudos on a job well done!Posted on Heather KlineTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Keela and her team at LKN Magazine have been amazing to work with! Her love of the community, paired with her knowledge of marketing and graphic design, have created a stunning well curated LKN magazine. Our team is thankful for the partnership with LKN Magazine and look forward to continuing to work together.Posted on Susan DolanTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I just started advertising in LKN magazine 2023 and I couldn't be happier. Keela and Barbara have been amazing to work with from the onset. The exposure I have received from my ads has been very positive. I had a client that went into a local restaurant for dinner (that has LKN Magazine in the lobby) people were coming up to him telling him that they saw his gorgeous home in the magazine. He was thrilled! I love a great story and happy clients!Posted on Jennie HessTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We had visitors to Dynamis Estate Wines on Sunday who when asked how they found us, picked up LKN Magazine and said "this magazine that was at our gym." They also joined the wine club at first visit! Thank you, new visitors are finding us thanks to the magazine.Posted on Charlotte ParrisTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I own Bliss by the Lake Boutique and started with LKN Magazine from their first edition. I am amazed at the business that advertising with Keela and her group has brought to our store. The magazine has many interesting articles and great ads. If you are a business owner and are not with LKN Magazine, please talk to Keela. You will be glad you did.Posted on John ChandlerTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We have vacationed at a family house on Lake Norman since 1976. Because it has not been our full-time home, it’s hard to know what businesses are in the area. LKN Magazine has been a revelation! It has been a remarkable way to get to know what is going on in our community. The information is accessible and fun, and the photography, layout, and look are first class. This is a well-run, pro-community, pro-business, positive-tone benefit to all who live and visit the lake. We now patronize many of these businesses and feel like we’re getting to know our neighbors. Really grateful for this magazine! John C.Posted on DavidTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.
