In 2007, Strictly Business Omaha (strictlybusinessomaha.com) was launched, expanding upon the successful legacy of Strictly Business Lincoln, which began over 10 years earlier. This September, we proudly celebrate the 17th anniversary of our Omaha edition! Each year, as we mail over 15,000 copies to businesses throughout the Omaha area, we are honored to be your trusted source for local business news and updates.

Our journey has been marked by both triumphs and challenges, all of which have contributed to reaching this significant milestone. As we commemorate our anniversary this month, we are excited to showcase not only the achievements we’ve made but also the many remarkable developments happening both behind the scenes and on the forefront. Every day, our team strives to deliver exceptional advertising and compelling stories to keep you informed and engaged with your local business community.

Strictly Business began in the 1990s, when Shayne and Paige identified a need for a dedicated business publication in the local market. Their vision led to the creation of “Strictly Business – Lincoln’s Business News & Marketing Magazine,” which received an enthusiastic response. The success in Lincoln set the stage for our expansion into Omaha. With the invaluable support of Angela Diaz, who helped forge crucial connections, Strictly Business Omaha was successfully launched.

We extend our deepest gratitude to our clients, whose support each month makes the publication of this magazine possible. It’s truly remarkable to see many of our clients have been with us for over a decade; your continued partnership is deeply appreciated.

We also want to express our heartfelt thanks to all the employees, both past and present, who have been part of the Strictly Business family. Your dedication, hard work, and passion have been the driving force behind our success. Whether you were here at the beginning or joined us along the way, each of you has played a vital role in shaping the company we are today. We are immensely grateful for your contributions and are proud to have had you as part of our journey.

Additionally, we’re proud of the strong online presence we’ve built over the years. Through our website, and social media platforms, we have extended our reach far beyond print, ensuring that our readers have easy access to the latest local business news whenever and wherever they need it. This digital expansion allows us to engage with our community more effectively, keeping you informed in today’s fast-paced world.

As we look back on our past issues and forward to the future, we remain grateful for the trust you place in us to be your local business news source. Thank you to our clients, readers, and everyone involved in bringing this magazine to life each month!
