About us

Minneapolis Picks is Sugar and Spice and Everything Nice.  If we can't say anything nice, we don't say it at all.

Minneapolis Picks is a subscription-driven online publication delivered to subscribers each Friday via email. It’s a fun and sassy vehicle for City Secrets that reaches a highly targeted market.  Minneapolis Picks readers are mostly women, busy and well-educated “influencers” who like to purchase items and use services that enhance the quality of their lives.

Minneapolis Picks' founder, Kathi O'Neil, started her career in Manhattan with Hearst Magazines and The Hearst Corporation.  A native Oregonian, O'Neil and her husband returned to Portland in the early 90s.  There O'Neil started Westover Media, a full-service marketing firm whose partial list of clients includes: Elle, In Style, Lucky, Tom's of Maine, Oprah, Gourmet, The New Yorker, Town and Country, Vogue, Vanity Fair, Conde Nast Traveler, W and Health, to name a few.

Editor in Chief Alisa Sloan directs the content and managing editors in all cities and heads the flagship Portland Picks publication.  Based in Portland, she has been with Westover Media since June of 2005 and brings more than 12 years of experience in publishing, marketing and content management to the team. 

Minneapolis Picks are mostly the unsolicited opinions of the Minneapolis Picks staff.  They are hints, recommendations, and best-kept secrets of shops, restaurants, products, and services.  Minneapolis Picks' parent company, City Picks Group, is a subsidiary of Westover Media, LLC.
