Strictly Business Lincoln was founded in 1993. In September of 2007, Strictly Business Omaha was launched. The two magazines follow the same format, have the same goals, and involve much of the same staff. Strictly Business is a direct-mailed news and marketing magazine. The publication contains vital Lincoln business information and is mailed into the hands of nearly every CEO, business owner, and key executive in the city. With a 2-3 month shelf life, your ad, article, and press release get seen for a much longer period of time than other advertising mediums. Over 10,000 copies of Strictly Business Lincoln are mailed in the Lincoln area each month and over 15,000 copies of Strictly Business Omaha are mailed to Omaha and surrounding areas each month. With a large pass-along readership, it is estimated that an average of five businesspeople read each copy of Strictly Business.

As a news source, Strictly Business magazine supplies the area with relevant and current business information.  If you want to keep up with Lincoln and Omaha’s business community, you need to read Strictly Business. Personnel changes or additions, information on new businesses, columns written by prominent area business people, profiles on important people in our community, and features on subjects relevant to current business today are just some of the areas covered in Strictly Business. We also offer the unique opportunity for advertisers to take part in our articles and special features. When an article is featured that pertains to specific advertisers, they get the chance to help write the story and to advertise around that story.

As an advertising tool, Strictly Business is unique by giving you precise targeting and a guaranteed total business market coverage. This method has been proven very successful for advertisers. The magazine is also an excellent tool to increase your visibility in the Lincoln area, whether you are trying to gain more clients or not.

Meet the Staff!

Paige Zutavern
President/Founder

Paige Zutavern has been involved with Strictly Business since its inception. Paige’s duties include ad sales in both the Lincoln and Omaha market, community involvement, administrative duties, and general overseeing of both operations.

Paige comes from a ranching background in the Sandhills of Nebraska. She attended the University of Nebraska at both Kearney and Lincoln and, after graduating, began working for Gallup. Being involved with Gallup was a wonderful experience and she feels she owes so much of her business success to what she learned from working there for over three years. However, it soon became clear to both her and her husband that they were meant to own their own business and they eventually decided to take the plunge and start Strictly Business from scratch. It was tough going in the early days and many people told them they would fail. They ignored the negativity, though, and that has obviously paid off! Paige has worked hard to make Strictly Business (Lincoln) a success, paving the way for Angela Lee in Omaha. Though there is still lots of hard work involved in creating this new publication, Paige’s experience and success in Lincoln have definitely made the road a bit smoother.

Paige is married to her high school sweetheart, Shayne Zutavern, and they have two boys, Schyler and Zane. They reside in Lincoln. To contact Paige, email paige@strictlybusinessomaha.com.

Kacey Russell
Director of Operations

Strictly Business would like to welcome Kacey Russell to the team as the newest Director of Operations. Kacey’s role will include a wide variety of responsibilities, including client correspondence, account management, event planning and networking. She has had several years of experience in a few different fields, including social media, marketing, event planning and talent acquisition.

Kacey and her husband, Owen, grew up right here in Lincoln and call it home. Kacey and Owen have a nine-month-old little boy named Brighton who loves to show off his spunky personality. When Kacey is not in the office, you can find her either curled up with a book or on the hunt for a new breakfast cafe to try. Breakfast is by far her favorite meal, and right now her go to breakfast food is either French toast or a breakfast burrito. She is always taking recommendations for new places to try.

“I am so excited to join the Strictly Business team and am looking forward to working with and building relationships with all our clients,” shared Kacey.
