RoadKing Social Media

Road King magazine is read by more than 240,000 long-haul truck drivers, who pick up the magazine to receive health tips to truck maintenance to driver profiles. With a minimal promotion budget, Parthenon was able to boost social reach, start conversations and grow Road King’s target fan base.

“Parthenon does amazing work.

Road King’s ability to stay both relevant and appealing to its readership has been recognized in multiple venues by its peers in the trucking industry. Working with Parthenon is seamless, and the way they work feels as though the entire Parthenon staff is right down the hall in the next set of offices rather than a separate vendor relationship.”
