Santa Cruz Vibes Media, LLC

Santa Cruz Vibes is a local media and storytelling company built around one simple idea: when businesses, artists, and nonprofits work together, the whole community thrives. We use a mix of print, digital, podcasts, and in-location screens to share what makes Santa Cruz special—and help the people behind it grow. Our quarterly print magazine reaches over 250,000 annual readers, and our fast-growing digital signage network, SCVM TV, will hit 50+ screens by the end of the year—bringing in more than 7 million impressions annually for local businesses. We also run a popular podcast network, telling long-form stories about the people, issues, and ideas shaping life on the Central Coast. But we’re not just about ads. Vibes dedicates 20% of all platform space to nonprofit organizations, giving local causes a real seat at the table. Our weekly newsletter, produced in collaboration with Event Santa Cruz, blends storytelling with community updates and business spotlights that actually move the needle. From city departments and festivals to neighborhood shops and startups, we work with partners who want more than a marketing campaign—they want to build something that lasts. Whether it's highlighting a new restaurant, producing a podcast about housing, or helping a nonprofit reach new supporters, we focus on impact over impressions. Santa Cruz Vibes is where culture and business meet, and where good stories lead to great results. We’re proud to be part of the Santa Cruz business community and always looking to collaborate with others who believe in local first.
