Want More Than an Ad? Tell Your Story.
Starting at $250
Sometimes the best way to introduce people to your organization isn't an advertisement. It's a good story.
Positively Pittsburgh can help you tell it.
Give Pittsburghers a reason to get to know you.
We'll talk with you about your business, organization, people, history or community involvement and turn that conversation into a professionally written sponsored feature.
Includes:
-
Planning and interview
-
Article development and writing
-
One published sponsored article
-
A direct link to your website
-
One round of factual corrections
The article remains on the site long after publication.
And because Positively Pittsburgh content can continue attracting search traffic for years, your story has the opportunity to keep reaching new readers well beyond its publication date.
STORIES KEEP WORKING
Some Positively Pittsburgh articles continue receiving thousands of views years after they were first published.
That gives a story sponsorship something an ordinary short-term ad doesn't have: the opportunity to keep introducing your organization to new readers month after month.

A Good Fit Matters
We personally review every sponsorship.
Sponsored articles and podcast features are clearly identified, and the subject must fit the Positively Pittsburgh mission.
We also continue to feature interesting people, local history, cultural organizations, nonprofits and worthwhile community stories independently of sponsorship.
Having a good Pittsburgh story does not require payment.
We are also happy to work with nonprofits and community organizations at reduced rates — and occasionally at no charge — when a story is an especially strong fit for our mission.
Let's Find the Right Option for You
You don't need a big advertising budget to get started.
