Chris Peabody, Sales Representative

Chris Peabody joined the Beacon Communications family in March of 2023. There are two things that this energetic sales representative is passionate about: the people of Johnston and the opportunity she has to represent them as business owners in our ever-evolving state.

If you want to know what is happening in your community, then just ask this enthusiastic supporter of small businesses and the newest sales representative at this longstanding publishing company. Chris just lights up when talking about her experiences working with, advocating for, and shopping at the local businesses throughout Johnston. As a lifelong Rhode Islander, she has a deep respect and appreciation for the businesses of the city, but also for the residents who patronize them. It is now her privilege to give them a visible presence in this mainstay, local newspaper.

Chris Peabody takes her work at the SunRise seriously, even as she lives a full and active life. An avid gardener, golfer, Patriots fan, Rhode Island Special Olympics volunteer, wife and mother, Chris is always out meeting people, exploring the diverse neighborhoods of the West Bay, and cheering on the people and places that make Rhode Island so unique.

Chris came to the Johnston SunRise following a long career in customer relations in the news media and marketing industry. She is full of ideas, and personality ~ and is eager to get to know small business owners from every corner of these towns and cities. As she says: “I want to help businesses succeed!”

If you are a business owner in Johnston, a great place to start is to look at local newspapers such as the SunRise. The SunRise has a broad readership and an online presence. This widely circulated paper tells the stories of the town’s residents and of the many services they provide and products they sell. The SunRise is the heartbeat of our community, acting like the “town crier” of days past but with photographs and updated stories of the day-to-day lives of its inhabitants.

Chris can help you get the word out about your business ~ no matter what your line of work or business is. There is an advertisement space and budget just for you! When you are ready to advertise in one of these papers, she will walk you through every step of the process, laying out every available option from the smallest one column, 2” ad to a full-page ad ~ and everything in between (including this business spotlight page!)
