MKE Lifestyle welcomes Stephanie Bennett as new Publisher

Waukesha, WI – Stephanie Bennett, MBA, has been named Publisher of MKE Lifestyle magazine, a division of Conley Media. Previously, Bennett was a Senior Account Executive for OnMilwaukee.com, where she led new business development for digital advertising sales and community events.

“I see a great opportunity to be successful in growing the readership and revenue for MKE Lifestyle,” said Bennett. “My vision is to expand the magazine’s footprint in the community through consistent exposure with content that improves the lives of our readers, from their health to their homes, and to have this content be readily available on multiple media channels, both in print and digital, including social media.”

Bennett has extensive experience in advertising brand identity, multi-channel marketing management and contract negotiation. She holds a bachelor’s degree in Mass Communication from UW-Milwaukee and a master’s degree in Business Administration from Alverno College. Bennett is also an adjunct instructor at Carthage College in Kenosha, where she teaches an undergraduate Introduction to Business course.

She had previously worked at MKE Lifestyle, once called M Magazine, as an account executive from 2013-15. Since that time, she had earned her master’s degree and had taken on leadership roles in marketing. She was excited to return to the magazine as publisher. “We have a great staff and culture, which was also part of my decision to put my name in the hat,” said Bennett.

Said Rhonda R. Smith, President and CEO of Conley Media: “We are so impressed with the progress of Stephanie’s professional development in her career in media. It has become clear for the magazine industry that the publisher’s position requires extensive understanding and experience in both digital and print mediums.
