Locally owned Buffalo Spree Publishing produces 31 publications and events, has over 700,000 readers and over 1,400 advertising partners in the Buffalo and Rochester markets, and prints over 2 million pieces every year. BSP has also won over 75 national awards for design and editorial from the North American Mature Publishers Association and the City and Regional Magazine Association, including three General Excellence awards. Every year, BSP supports dozens of nonprofits and charity events through donations and sponsorships; the company has been recognized for its support of the Western New York community by such organizations as the American Institute of Architects, the Amherst Chamber of Commerce, the Burchfield Penney Art Center, Preservation Buffalo Niagara, Buffalo-Niagara Event Professionals, and the New York State Nursery Landscape Association, Inc. Last year, the city of Buffalo honored the company with a special proclamation. BSP’s growing Rochester division (585 Publishing) has expanded its reach and influence to thousands more readers. Since BSP’s move in 2014, hundreds of visitors have toured the company’s spectacular new city-based headquarters in a renovated industrial complex. BSP’s new offices are just as fresh and up-to-date as its publications.
