Why Sponsored Content?

This is an attractive option for advertisers looking to communicate their expertise in greater detail than a traditional print or digital advertisement. By telling your brand’s story in the form of an article, you will stand out from traditional advertising with these added benefits:
  • Establish your brand as a thought leader in the industry
  • Share your brand's expertise
  • Provide in-depth content in an engaging way to the Athletic Business audience
  • Capitalize on an increasingly popular form of advertising

Quality Sponsored Content starts with the audience in mind first, not your sales pitch. Effective content educates and informs the reader while only subtly (if at all) referencing your brand. Some companies decide to hire freelance journalists to write sponsored content, ensuring the article is of sound journalistic quality.

What Our Clients Are Saying

"After engaging with AB, the qualified leads have grown considerably such that we are looking at increasing our sales staff to handle the volume and the numbers on the back end support that growth.  We are reaching the educational institutions and non-profit organizations at a higher rate and the impact can be traced back to the landing pages links clicked from the digital or print advertising through AB ."
