05 / GOOD QUESTIONS
A FEW THINGS
WORTH KNOWING.
Can I advertise in both publications?
Yes, you can discuss a combined partnership through Brief Media. The right mix depends on your service area, goals and available placements.
What does a partnership cost?
Rates depend on the publication, format, frequency and scope. Start a conversation below to request current options and availability.
What audience information can I review?
Ask for current publication-level audience and engagement information as part of your proposal. Newsletter subscribers and social followers are different measures, not a single count of unique people.
Do I need finished copy and images?
Bring what you have, or tell us what you need. Copy, imagery and any production support can be discussed when defining the partnership.
How quickly can we get started?
Share your preferred timing in your inquiry. Dates and production needs will be confirmed before a placement is booked.
Can I suggest a business for editorial coverage?
Of course. Label it as an editorial suggestion in your note. An advertising inquiry is not a promise of editorial coverage.
