Noteworthy FAQs

 Noteworthy is an editorial-style profile designed to highlight the people, businesses, and organizations making an impact in our communities. While each feature is tailored to the participant, the goal remains the same: to tell your story in a credible, engaging format that resonates with readers and provides content you can continue to use long after publication.

Noteworthy is featured throughout the year, with each issue highlighting a specific professional category:

• January/February: Education
• March/April: House & Home
• May/June: Doctors & Medical  Professionals
• July/August: Attorneys & Law Firms
• September/October: Dentists & Orthodontists
• November/December: Wealth Management  & Financial Service

Noteworthy combines the best of both. It is a paid placement presented in an editorial-style format. The content focuses on your story, expertise, and community impact while maintaining the professional look and feel of our magazines.

Most participants engage with Noteworthy as part of a broader marketing partnership with Hinsdale Magazine Group, where the feature serves as earned media. For businesses seeking a one-time opportunity, Noteworthy may also be purchased as a standalone feature.

You have two options. You may provide a draft from your team, or our editorial staff can create the piece based on responses to a brief questionnaire.

Yes. A proof will be provided for review and approval prior to publication. 

Each Noteworthy feature is designed by the HMG following our editorial guidelines and will include our Noteworthy badge. The overall layout is influenced by the photography provided. Some features may incorporate a full-bleed image or a partial-page image. Our creative team will develop a layout that best showcases your story and brand.

• A high-resolution photo
• A high-resolution logo file (vector, EPS, AI, or high-quality PNG preferred)
• Preferred contact information (phone, website, address, social media handles,etc.

Each Noteworthy can be designed around either an individual professional or a team. Many organizations choose a team photo to highlight their practice or firm, while others prefer to feature a specific professional and their unique expertise. If multiple professionals would like individual recognition, separate Noteworthy features may be purchased, with each receiving its own dedicated story and profile.

We encourage participants to provide a high-resolution image. For select multi-market advertisers and long-term marketing partners, professional photography will be included as part of the program. Standalone Noteworthy participants may request professional photography by one of our photographers for an additional fee, subject to availability.

If Hinsdale Magazine Group coordinates professional photography for your feature, you may use those images for your own marketing and promotional purposes following publication.

We encourage participants to use their feature as marketing collateral. Many clients share it on social media, feature it on their websites, include it in their newsletters, display it in their offices, and use it in their business development efforts. Your Noteworthy feature often continues working long after the magazine is delivered.
