A Little About Us
Crafting Connections and Celebrating Southern Charm
Welcome to MidSouth Media Group - a symbol of innovation, tradition, and community spirit. We stand tall as a beacon of the South, weaving the rich tapestry of Southern small businesses with our tapestry of events and experiences. From humble beginnings in 1999, our story is one of growth, focus, and unyielding commitment to the charm and culture of the South.
Our Journey Through Time
It all began in the late '90s when a simple but visionary idea took root. We started off as a small entity but rapidly ascended to prominence as a renowned multi-media corporation. The year 1999 marked the launch of our very first home and garden trade show, setting the stage for our growth narrative.
In the year 2000, our wings spread wider as MIDSOUTH magazine started gracing regional establishments with its presence, cultivating an influential voice throughout the South. Not long after, in 2002, we ventured into the world of broadcasting with a regional television show that shared our namesake and vision.
The flourishing affinity for both print and screen propelled us forward until 2005, a pivotal moment in our history. With insight and agility, we pivoted our focus, divesting from the publishing division to pour our passion into what had become our true hallmark - trade show management.
Our Commitment to Southern Businesses and Shoppers
MidSouth Media Group doesn't just organize trade shows; we craft vibrant marketplaces, bustling with the heartbeats of thousands of shoppers and the soul of Southern small businesses. Annually, our Market Show Events become the nexus for 7,000 to 15,000 attendees -- a testament to our mission and magnetism.
We're not just about numbers; we're about nurturing a community. Every event we host is meticulously designed to be a celebration of fashion, food, and above all, fun. Our curation of gifts ranges from artisanal foods to bespoke home decor, ensuring that each visitor leaves with not just a purchase, but a memory, a piece of the South to cherish.
Our Mission: Connecting, Celebrating, and Supporting Southern Small Businesses.
This isn't merely a statement; it's the essence of our identity. It guides our every decision, reminding us that at the core of every event, every show, every gathering, is the opportunity to strengthen connections, celebrate achievements, and bolster the vibrant ecosystem of Southern small businesses.
At MidSouth Media Group, we are proud custodians of Southern heritage. Join us on this splendid voyage as we continue to build bridges between businesses and consumers, and wrap the warm, inviting blanket of Southern hospitality around every experience we offer.
