David G. Miller

As co-owner of the OurWeekly group of newspapers in Los Angeles since its inception in 2004, David Miller has developed successful sales strategies and marketing plans for the popular weekly periodical.

In addition to the flagship Los Angeles newspaper, there is now an Antelope Valley edition of the weekly and two magazines. He serves as publisher of the company’s two magazines—Healthier You Magazine, a bi-monthly high glossy healthcare magazine dedicated to the African American community and Careers and Education, a 5 1/2 by 8 1/2 informational publication.

In 2011, the company boldly defied the economic doldrums the country and the county was experiencing to launch the West Coast Expo, a three-day event that focused on business, technology, and green sustainability. It also featured segments on healthy living via food and other products.

As co-founder of OurWeekly, David has more than 35 years of sales experience including 18 years in management with print media outlets such as the Los Angeles Daily News, Wave Community Newspapers, LA Weekly, Los Angeles Times and the Los Angeles Examiner.

He is recognized for his success in growing company sales, profits and product turnarounds. His strategic approach to building a business is reflected in his work as Chief Operating Officer of OurWeekly and publisher of Healthier You Magazine, where his focus on sales and marketing quickly delivered impressive bottom-line results.

His turnaround capability is highlighted by his accomplishments as Director of Advertising of the Wave Community Newspapers, where he led a distressed company to record profitability through brand revitalization, sales operations, sales packaging, sales marketing and general advertising. David also had a significant impact on profitability and growth at OurWeekly. His early focus on brand building and performance excellence has quickly brought the newspaper to prominence in the greater Los Angeles community and beyond.

David’s exceptional track record of business improvement is based on his philosophy of total enterprise engagement in change. He is known for his ability to quickly identify and diagnose sales and growth impediments that go far beyond marketing; to refine sales organizational structure, sales channels, market position as well as general advertising.

David received his MS in Journalism/Mass Communication from Iowa State University, 1986, and his BA in humanities from Voorhees College, 1984, where he graduated Magna Cum Laude.
