Sponsored Content is an attractive option for advertisers looking to communicate their industry 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 benefits.

​Sponsored Content solutions from Athletic Business Include:

Print Sponsored Content:

• The advertiser submits all copy and high-res (300 dpi) images or graphics
• ​The advertiser can select a one- or two-page layout for their content.
  • One-page = about 500 words
  • Two-page = about 1,000 words
  • Additional pages can be accommodated on a case-by-case basis.
• Athletic Business will design the piece to match our style and formatting and send to client for approval.
• Athletic Business works with the customer, but ultimately controls where in the magazine your content appears.
