Jeanne Savel

Account Executive

I’ve been working with TheHomeMag since March of 2020. It has been a fulfilling experience working together with small to mid-size businesses, and getting them connected to new leads, that they ultimately convert to NEW customers. My volunteerism and leadership experience with numerous military support organizations (AUSA, ESGR, Gateway C-VEB, VetNet, STL Veteran Support Network & the Elks Lodge #9) provided me with the know-how to work with a diverse customer base. I enjoy providing support to growing businesses and look forward to sharing the success of my clients, as they promote their products and expertise with their impressive Ads. I enjoy hikes / walks, swimming, dance, reading, and spending time with my family and friends, when I’m not working with clients.

Chris Zinn

Publisher

Chris has been the Publisher of TheHomeMag since 2007 when his parents Dain and Karen bought the Kansas City franchise. Chris’ background in marketing agencies and client service allowed him to step right into the role of both working with prospective advertisers on their campaigns and running the business. When the business was sold in 2015 the new ownership group asked that he stay on in his role because of the relationships he had built. In that same year Chris convinced ownership to invest in the launch of the St. Louis market. In June of 2015 TheHomeMag St. Louis delivered it’s first issue. Chris’ role has always been focused on how to improve the client experience and ensuring that TheHomeMag was being delivered to the right audience.

Chris’ passion for TheHomeMag and the success of it’s clients have always driven his efforts. In November of 2019 Chris along with a partner acquired TheHomeMag Kansas City and St. Louis bringing the business back into the family. While his playing and coaching days are over, when he’s not working you can usually catch him either driving to watch his boys play or on a patio rooting for his favorite professional and college teams.
