The Face of Business in West Virginia

West Virginia Executive magazine has a proud tradition of being a cheerleader for the Mountain State. Through eye-catching photography and in-depth editorial, we shed a positive light on our state’s success stories as a way of encouraging our leaders—both present and upcoming.

In 15 years, the magazine has experienced phases of change, from layout design to ownership, but one thing has always remained the same: the integrity of our product.

With four issues a year, we print an average of 25,000 copies per issue that are distributed to the decision makers in West Virginia: CEOs/CFOs/COOs, business owners, politicians and educators. Our magazine can be found in more than 900 physicians’ waiting rooms and hospitals and in the guest rooms of The Greenbrier, Oglebay Resort, Waterfront Place Hotel, Stonewall Resort, Snowshoe Mountain Resort, Glade Springs Resort, Charleston Marriott, and Charleston’s Embassy Suites.

Our magazines go to members of WVHTC Foundation, IOGA, WVONGA, the West Virginia Coal Association and the directors of statewide organizations like the WV Manufacturers Association, WV Development Office and WV Department of Environmental Protection. Our mail list also contains 375 elected officials, education associations, colleges and universities, K-12 facilities, corporate centers, banks, law offices and national corporate offices.

Our advertisers find themselves in front of the niche market they require to grow their businesses, and twice a year WVE provides the opportunity to network with members of that market in person through launch parties and the Young Guns reception.

We’re proud of how far WVE has come in the 15 years, and we are looking forward to where the future will take us and our great State of West Virginia.
