Become a Partner

We are a family-owned franchise, and the simplest way to describe what we do is sophisticated word-of-mouth.


We own and operate the STROLL programs in Ballantyne Country Club and Firethorne, and we work closely with other premier neighborhoods throughout the Charlotte area, including Quail Hollow, SouthPark, Myers Park, Dilworth, Lake Norman, and more—creating opportunities to grow into additional communities over time.


In addition, we help partners connect with new movers through our BeLocal program, reaching residents as they relocate to Ballantyne, Waxhaw, and Indian Land.


Our program is intentionally niche and hyper-focused. We limit partnerships, curate our relationships, and work closely with each partner to ensure authentic visibility, trust, and long-term value within the community. Thank you for your thoughtful consideration of our program.

  • Testimonial 2

    Not only is the magazine a fount of information about activities and social events, but it also connects us to the surrounding neighborhood and its many restaurants and businesses. Having gone through years of trying to keep residents informed through self-publishing our own newsletters with limited success, we now have a quality, informative and helpful neighborhood magazine that does it for us so much better than we ever could ourselves.

    Their publication speaks directly to the demographic we target. It has been a great match and the addition of their digital efforts has only further strengthened our confidence. We would certainly recommend making the publication in your area and element of your marketing efforts!
