North Shore Macaroni Kid is the largest parent-focused online media resource on the North Shore. We focus specifically on families in Beverly, Danvers, Essex, Gloucester, Hamilton, South Hamilton, Manchester-by-the-Sea, Peabody, Rockport, Salem, Topsfield and Wenham.
We send our email newsletter every week to over 9,000 opt-in local parents and we engage daily with nearly 6,000 social media fans (Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram). Our website averages 65,000 web impressions monthly. Our free service connects local parents, grandparents, teachers, and caregivers to activities, events, and businesses in their own community.
There is no other comparable hyper-local digital publication.
Local parents engage frequently and consistently with us and regularly tell us that we are an indispensable resource for them.
