Landing Page Take Over:

Sponsoring a section of a local news website is one of the most powerful branding tools available to advertisers in digital media. Unlike run-of-site (ROS) ads, section sponsorship positions an advertiser as the official brand partner of a targeted content area—such as Sports, Weather, Events, or Community News. This creates consistent brand association and visibility, especially for businesses looking to align with specific reader interests.

At the center of most section sponsorship packages is the 970×250 banner ad, a large-format display unit positioned at the top of the sponsored section. Its size and location create a visual anchor for the page, ensuring the advertiser is seen immediately by every visitor. This space offers more than impressions—it offers ownership.

This placement is best suited for brand-driven advertisers—such as financial institutions, healthcare systems, educational institutions, or major local retailers—looking to build credibility, not necessarily drive immediate action. The banner helps establish the advertiser as a trusted, familiar presence in a content-rich environment.

Sponsored Newsletters:

  • Leverage our email audience by selling a newsletter sponsor. There are 2 – 300 x 250.  It would also be possible to take the first position and turn it into a local feature, like local business spotlight.

Interactive Polls and Quizzes:

  • Embedded polls, surveys, or quizzes tied to trending topics or relevant themes.  It works because it encourages reader engagement and provides data for advertisers.  Use Audience to create a monthly feature to sell to advertisers.

Podcast Sponsorships:

  • Do your news sites have Podcast?  Everything is sponsorable.  Feature you sponsor with presence on the Podcasting page, with a short entry ad or an ad inserted in the middle of the Podcast.
