Why advertise with the Important Media Network?

As global leaders in sustainability and health reporting, the Important Media Network is referenced and syndicated by some of the world’s biggest mainstream media brands, including the New York Times and the Guardian, as well as news services like Google News and Reuters.

 

We know we’re having an impact, because we have subscribers from Exxon, Monsanto, Chevron and Koch Industries- presumably, because they want to be on top of the latest sustainability news so they can try to undermine it as rapidly as possible. But, hey- sorry fellas, while we love our subscribers, we never have- and never will!- let some Earth-plundering, tax-dodging, middle-class gouging ruthless profiteers like your companies advertise on our sites. It’s part of how we earn the trust and love of our readers.

There’s a good reason that the Important Media Network has millions of monthly readers that are highly educated and high earners, as well as a substantial social media presence.

Sponsorship Pricing


Pricing on sponsorship of a particular site depends on 3 factors: traffic/readership, demographics, and length of sponsorship. Generally, higher traffic means more expensive, but if the readership is made up primarily of a business/industry audience, that may trump overall traffic numbers somewhat.

We manage the campaign for everything above. We produce the content (articles and webinars) and coordinate placements of all branding. You are invited to submit more content if you’d like up to 3 more articles per month, and we may publish if editorial calendars allow.

Annual sponsors receive 15% off the regular monthly prices listed below.

Non-profit and educational institutions get 15% off all packages.

There’s a 3 month minimum on all sponsorship packages.
