How it works
- Pick an open spot above and send the short form — your business name and website are all we need to start.
- We confirm it's a real local business and a reasonable fit for readers.
- "Sponsored by [Your Business]" appears on that section for the week, linking to your site.
Sponsorship never decides what we list or write — sponsors support the Brief, they don't steer it. Questions first? Just ask.
