Spectrum Communications Media Group is the parent company of the ParentGuide®, Parentguide.com, Tampa Bay Baby and Parent Expo. Since 1997, the award-winning and highly-respected ParentGuide magazine has been the top local media resource for families throughout the Tampa Bay area. Parents love ParentGuide for its local connection to parenting issues, special events, contests and area companies who have products and services of interest to families. ParentGuide also produces its companion website ParentGuide.com and regular e-newsletters to share updates with online subscribers.
The publishers are local small business owners who founded the magazine because they desired to make a positive difference in building healthy and happy families. However, ParentGuide is much more than a great magazine. The owners and staff at ParentGuide are family people just like their readers and continually look for ways to enhance their relationship with their community. ParentGuide builds partnerships that bring expert speakers, family-friendly events, educational opportunities, discounts and great contests to the families of Tampa Bay. ParentGuide is also proud to sponsor local organizations and events that share in the value of building strong, happy, healthy and sustainable families. |
