Who We Help
At St. Johns Magazine, we shine a spotlight on the tastemakers, trailblazers, and community champions who make northern St. Johns extraordinary. Our readers are locals who crave inspiration, connection, and a beautifully curated look at life in our vibrant corner of Florida. Our advertisers are forward-thinking local businesses eager to meet them where they are — in print, online, and at the heart of community life.

​Crafting the Connection
We don’t just place ads; we create stories. Through compelling editorial, and strategic distribution, we connect businesses with the very people who want what they offer. Every feature, every photograph, every page is designed to elevate our clients while engaging readers with content that feels fresh, modern, and relevant.

How We are Different
St. Johns Magazine isn’t a throwaway mailer or a noisy digital scroll. It’s a  publication crafted with the intimacy of a local journal. We blend national-level polish with hometown heart — meaning your brand is always seen in the most flattering light.

Stories that speak for themselves
For over a decade, St. Johns Magazine has been the trusted voice of northern St. Johns, with advertisers who return year after year and readers who tell us they love us. Our blend of editorial storytelling and targeted reach has built reputations, launched businesses, and forged connections that last well beyond the page.

How You Can Work With Us
It begins with a conversation — about your story, your goals, and the audience you most want to reach. From there, we tailor a plan that may include traditional advertising, as well as sponsored content that will be seen both in print and online at www.stjohnsmag.com. 

Partnering with St. Johns Magazine isn’t just about reserving space — it’s about stepping into a community, with your brand woven into the narrative of life in St. Johns.


A Passion for Publishing
​

PictureDebbie Gaylord, Publisher, St. Johns Magazine

​Hi, I’m Debbie—the publisher, storyteller, artist and soul behind St. Johns Magazine. What began in 2012 as a simple dream to connect our rapidly growing neighborhoods has become a love letter to the community I call home. Each glossy page is crafted to celebrate the people, places, and small businesses that give northern St. Johns its charm. Publishing isn’t just my profession—it’s my passion, my creative outlet, and my way of weaving connections that last.
​
My journey here wasn’t linear—more a patchwork quilt of teaching, politics, reporting, and raising four children (including triplets!). Along the way, I discovered that storytelling is my constant: the thread that ties curiosity, creativity, and community together. From my first foray into publishing to launching St. Johns Magazine, my mission has never wavered—to create something tangible, beautiful, and useful. Today, every issue feels like a conversation over coffee with a friend: thoughtful, stylish, and infused with the spirit of St. Johns.
