Attention Prospective Advertisers!!!
Help promote the excellent work of the Northern Section in supporting local planners while advertising your firm or event.
Employment ads are to be submitted here.
The Northern Section offers three types of ads- Calling Cards, Jobs, and Feature Ads. Ads can be published in three venues- the Northern News Newsletter, the Website, and the eNews, as described below.
ADVERTISING VENUES
The Northern News is a widely read newsletter covering topics relevant to the planning profession throughout the Northern Section. The newsletter is published as ten issues annually, with eight single-month issues and two double-month issues. The newsletter is a great way to reach approximately 8,500 readers per issue.
The recently redesigned website is a great resource for section materials including the current newsletter and back issues, Bay Area consultants and jobs, the section awards program, and section events. The website has several thousand visits per month.
The eNews is a bimonthly email distributed to Northern Section members that provides calendar events and alerts members that the newsletter has been published. With a distribution of over 2,500 recipients, the eNews is a highly visible way to advertise in a timely manner.
