Article-Page Sponsor Ads

Premium Article-Page Sponsor Ads
Founding Sponsors receive priority sponsor placement on selected Marion LIVE articles, guides, Weekend Pulse content, and feature pages.
Social Media Coverage
Founding Sponsors receive social media coverage connected to sponsor content. This may include sponsor recognition posts, Sponsor Spotlight promotion, and sponsor visibility through Marion LIVE’s Facebook audience and content distribution.
Event & Guide Sponsorships
Founding Sponsors receive sponsor opportunities tied to Marion LIVE guides, Weekend Pulse content, seasonal roundups, things-to-do coverage, and event-related opportunities as Marion LIVE develops hosted or partnered events.
Guide & Weekend Placements
Founding Sponsors may be placed in high-interest Marion LIVE content such as Weekend Pulse, food and drink guides, activity roundups, seasonal guides, and things-to-do coverage.
Custom Partnerships
Founding Sponsors may receive custom sponsor opportunities built around specific business goals, seasonal campaigns, community initiatives, audience needs, or Marion LIVE event opportunities.
Sponsor Spotlight Article
Founding Sponsors receive one clearly labeled Sponsor Spotlight Article. This article is written to highlight the sponsor’s business, services, story, offer, community role, or current campaign. Sponsor Spotlight Articles are paid sponsor content and are separate from regular Marion LIVE editorial coverage.
Monthly Custom Digital Ad Creative
Founding Sponsors receive one custom digital ad each month for their own marketing.
This ad is created for the sponsor’s business and can be used outside Marion LIVE. Each ad includes professional design, sales-focused copy, a clear offer or message, a strong call to action, and formatting for common digital uses.
Sponsors can use the ad on Facebook, Instagram, paid social ads, Google/display ads, email campaigns, website banners, landing pages, digital screens, lobby or office screens, event screens, presentations, and other approved digital marketing platforms.
High-Performance Website Design/Build Included
Founding Sponsors receive a high-performance website design/build for their business.
The website package includes:
High-performance website design/build
Basic monthly website maintenance
SEO/GEO structure
Meta titles and descriptions
Schema markup where appropriate
Sales-framework-driven copy
Google Business Profile integration guidance
Hosting, domain registration, platform fees, paid apps, e-commerce, booking systems, and other third-party costs are billed separately when needed.
The Founding Sponsor package is best for businesses that want premium sponsor placement, expanded social coverage, sponsor content, monthly ad creative, and a stronger website built for search, AI visibility, and customer action.

Sponsorship and Editorial Coverage
Marion LIVE maintains a clear separation between editorial coverage and paid sponsorship.
Businesses, venues, restaurants, events, and activities may be covered because they are part of the Greater Marion scene. That coverage does not make them sponsors.
Sponsors are paid advertising partners who receive defined sponsor benefits, including ad placement, social media coverage, sponsor content, custom digital ad creative, and, at the Founding Sponsor level, a high-performance website design/build.
Ask About Sponsorship
Marion LIVE is accepting sponsor inquiries from businesses and organizations interested in reaching active Greater Marion readers through the website, article pages, social media coverage, sponsor content, digital ad creative, and event-related opportunities.
