The Summit Daily names new advertising director

The Summit Daily News welcomes Meg Boyer as advertising director. She brings with her several years’ experience in news media, in both the advertising and editorial sides.

Prior to joining the Summit Daily, Boyer served as vice president of sales and marketing at the Idaho Statesman in Boise. She has also served as advertising director at the Steamboat Pilot & Today, where she launched her career as a copy editor and page designer before becoming creative services manager.



“After living in Steamboat and loving that resort market, I knew I wanted to be close to outdoor recreation, friends and family,” Boyer said. “It seemed like a perfect fit professionally and personally.”

She has her bachelor’s degree in journalism from the University of Nebraska-Lincoln and has also gotten involved in each of the communities where she has lived, serving with numerous boards and mentor programs.



She’s married to Brent Boyer, who is working as digital deployment manager for Swift Communications, the Summit Daily’s parent company. They have two daughters, ages four and one.

“It all fell into place,” Meg Boyer said, “We’re excited to be here.”
