About Tom Britt:

Tom Britt founded Towne Post Network in 2003 when its first publication was still called the Geist Community Newsletter. Back then, they mailed the newsletter to over 2,500 residents around Geist Reservoir. But after combining digital and print effectively, the community newsletter grew in reach and popularity by highlighting local restaurants, people, and events. Today, the Towne Post Network has 18 franchised locations in central and northern Indiana and the Louisville, Kentucky area, with a total monthly distribution of over 260,000 magazines.

Now, the Towne Post Network, Inc. is a franchise system headquartered in Fishers, Indiana. Each hyper-local publication is independently owned and operates under the Towne Post franchise system. By streamlining the production, printing, and mailing for each community magazine, franchisees enjoy tremendous cost savings, translating to a cost-effective advertising medium for small businesses. Their franchise offering allows the Champions of Communities to monetize their passion for spotlighting the great news happening on a local level.
