Wilton Manors, FL – July 2026 – Marketing Bear LLC, a full-service advertising and marketing agency based in Wilton Manors, is proud to partner with Wilton Edge, the community’s new digital publication dedicated to celebrating the people, businesses, nonprofits, and organizations that make Wilton Manors such a special place to live, work, and visit.
From the earliest planning stages through its successful launch on June 2, Marketing Bear played an integral role in bringing the Wilton Edge vision to life. The agency developed the publication’s brand identity, designed its logo and website, helped shape its editorial strategy, and created the marketing framework that continues to guide the publication today.
The partnership extends well beyond launch. Marketing Bear continues to collaborate with Wilton Edge on creative direction, content development, website enhancements, and advertising strategy while helping cultivate relationships with local businesses interested in sharing their stories through the publication.
“Wilton Edge was built around a simple idea: celebrate the community through authentic local storytelling,” said Ed Kitsos, Founder of Marketing Bear. “Our role was to transform that vision into a recognizable brand and create a platform that helps connect residents, businesses, and community organizations in a meaningful way.”
One of Wilton Edge’s most distinctive features is its editorial-first approach to marketing. Rather than placing advertisements alongside content, featured businesses become the content through professionally written articles that introduce readers to the people and stories behind each business. Every feature receives Wilton Edge’s exclusive three-touch exposure through a month-long website feature, inclusion in the weekly email newsletter, and dedicated social media promotion.
The partnership demonstrates Marketing Bear’s ability to take an idea from concept to reality by developing the brand, designing the digital experience, creating the content strategy, and providing ongoing marketing support long after launch. It’s a collaborative approach that reflects the agency’s philosophy of building brands through strategy, storytelling, and meaningful community engagement.
As Wilton Edge continues to grow, Marketing Bear remains committed to supporting the publication’s long-term success while helping local businesses connect with one of South Florida’s most engaged communities.
