A personal approach
Discuss your goals, placements, and campaign details directly with the person running IONTB.
Room to find your fit
No long-term commitment, with a monthly check-in to discuss performance and renewal.
Be seen alongside local reporting
IONTB welcomes local businesses looking to connect with Tampa Bay readers. Website ads appear within articles and can link directly to your website or Facebook page.
Ask about current audience figures and availability when planning your campaign. Traffic changes with the news cycle, and actual ad impressions depend on the placement and rotation selected.
WEBSITE ADVERTISING
Four places to tell your story
Choose a placement at the top of an article, after paragraph two or four, or at the end of the article, subject to availability.
Shared and dedicated rotation options are available. Each placement rotates among no more than four advertisers.
Suggested artwork: approximately 700 × 200 pixels. Some flexibility is available; confirm dimensions before preparing your ad.
