Partnership / Sponsors

At Alabama Small Towns and Downtowns we strive to tell the unique stories of Alabama, but some times we need a little help from friends

EDITORIAL PARTNERSHIPS / SPONSORED CONTENT

Seeking Alabama Business Partners who support the mission of Alabama Small Towns and Downtowns in telling the unique stories about our smallest towns, Alabama makers, landmarks, natural wonders, and sometimes even the weird.
Sponsored Content: This is a unique opportunity for a brand to reach its intended audience in a less conventional way. In each issue there are opportunities for the "right business" to sponsor a story that represents more than one area of the state like “An Alabama Soda Shop Hop” or “Float Your Boat Through Alabama.” These stories have targeted audiences (ice cream lovers for example) that could benefit specific businesses in a greater way than tradtional display advertising. As a WEDO Media partner, the organization sponsoring the content would get exposure in the story if relevant and in social media and our website.
