History
Cover Story Media®, Inc. is a North Carolina corporation registered in Winston-Salem, NC. The company was originally founded in 2005 as a web development business (Contract Web Development, Inc.) but the expansion into search marketing in 2007 prompted the launch of a series of company-owned and operated community websites. These sites started to amass traffic, and by 2009 the growth of the online publishing business had well surpassed the web development portion. The explosive growth continued, and in 2012 the web development branch of the business was phased out to allow for full focus on online publishing.
In 2013 the business expanded further by acquiring a P&C insurance license in all 50 states plus DC. As a licensed insurance agency, we are capable of covering and promoting insurance products and relaying the facts in layman’s terms for an incredibly confusing industry.
In 2015 we sold our first brand, ASecureLife.com. We had grown the website into a powerhouse authority in the home, personal, and online security space.
Over the years, the company has grown and evolved into what it is today: a successful online publishing company that features exclusive, original content. As we move full speed ahead into this technology age, it is increasingly important to keep up with the ever evolving media industry and it is our goal at Cover Story Media®, Inc. to stay ahead of these trends while continuing to provide quality content for our readers and maintaining a genuine, unbiased approach.
