Owners Sell Queen of the Castle Magazine

Owners Chris Herzog and Sarah Stokes have announced that after two and a half years, they have sold Queen of the Castle Magazine to a new management group.

“We’re so excited to be able to make the announcement public. The transition is successfully complete. We bought Queen of the Castle Magazine in 2013 to allow us the freedom to make new decisions for our family after decades in television news. After growing the magazine to seven times its size, it was time to devote more of my energy to our booming advertising agency,” said former owner Sarah Stokes.

Queen of the Castle Magazine was recently acquired by former realtor and local businesswoman Kathleen Walton. The day-to-day operations will remain the same, and all employees have chosen to continue working for the magazine.

“We’re so happy to be able to pass the magazine on to very capable hands. This sale will allow us the opportunity to spend more time focused on our existing agency clients while also giving us the chance to pursue some new, exciting and innovative ideas. This is a dream come true,” said former owner Chris Herzog.

Stokes+HERZOG was founded in 2014 by former television news anchors Sarah Stokes and Chris Herzog. The agency handles all aspects of advertising, public relations, marketing, video production and website development for companies and organizations both locally and regionally.

“I will always be Queen’s biggest fan. But I’m so excited for the future and to see where the magazine goes now!” Stokes added.
