Not sure where to start?
You know you want to reach SWFL. You're not sure whether that looks like an issue sponsorship, event coverage, a directory listing, or something we haven't built yet. That's fine — start here.
Pick the format that fits
Three starting points.
Every SWFL Spotlight partnership starts with one of these three. We'll help you pick on the call.
◎
Issue sponsorship
Best for: brand stories, launches, recurring campaigns. One editorial feature per Thursday issue, written with you.
📍
Directory placement
Best for: restaurants, shops, service businesses. A permanent page in our Plate & Place directory.
🎥
Custom campaign
Best for: anchor partners & seasonal pushes. A multi-issue package with custom video, events, and editorial.

Good to know
Before you book.
What's the minimum spend?
Single-issue sponsorship starts at $650. Directory placement starts at $180/year. There’s no minimum beyond those.
Do you do display ads?
No banner ads. All partnerships are editorial and/or directory-based. It’s why readers actually read us.
How long does a campaign take to launch?
Typically 3–4 weeks from signed proposal to live. Faster if you already have assets; slower if we’re building a custom video package.
