what is mount dora buzz?

Mount Dora Buzz is more than a local news publication. For 20 years, it has been part of the fabric of Mount Dora and North Lake County, building a trusted media brand and a loyal audience that turns to the Buzz to know what is happening in the places where they live, work, shop, dine, and spend their time.
​
That local connection is one of the Buzz's greatest advantages for advertisers. With more than 46,000 Facebook followers, a private Facebook group of more than 48,000 members, and more than 15,500 monthly email subscribers, Mount Dora Buzz provides businesses access to an established local audience rather than asking them to build awareness from the ground up.  Plus, its deep knowledge of the local market, longstanding relationships, and recognizable brand give advertisers an opportunity to be seen in an environment readers already know and trust.

Mount Dora Buzz is not simply a place to place an advertisement. It's a marketing and advertising tool that helps businesses increase awareness, build community familiarity, and signal brand legitimacy through trusted, local exposure.  The result is brand recognition, credibility, and a stronger connection with the customers right in your backyard.  So, let's connect and collaborate today!
