You get sponsor space in a monthly Bay Area magazine on the web—room for photos, an offer, and a link to your site. Paid units are always labeled; reporting stays separate so your name sits next to trusted work, not inside it.

What’s in it for you

You reach more people—and your ad works harder

  • The issue lives on kfn.one in English and Spanish, reaches 20,000+ monthly users, and we push it each month on Instagram, Facebook, LinkedIn, YouTube, and X (see the icons above)—more ways for new customers to bump into you.
  • You get space for a strong visual, a clear line, and one obvious next step. People spend real time in the reader, so your message lands better than a tiny banner they scroll past.
  • Each issue is a real web page with readable copy—not a locked PDF—so Google can match searches to your story.
  • We shape your placement with clear copy and links so you show up better in Google and give AI tools like ChatGPT real text to use—your business in the limelight, not buried in an image nobody can search.

You look like a real local story

  • You can sit near the Business of the Month lane—the same kind of spotlight we gave Berk’s Beans in Concord—so you feel part of the magazine, not a flyer stapled to it.
  • Your sponsor unit is clearly labeled, which protects readers and protects you from looking like “fake news.”
  • You get room to say who you are, why you started, and what you offer—not just a logo in a corner.

You reach people who decide things

  • Readers here follow schools, city policy, climate, and neighborhood business—the stuff that drives where households spend.
  • You are in front of other owners, managers, teachers, and civic folks who read for substance, not a one-line skim.
  • The issue is monthly, so the same audience can see you again—good for name recognition when they are ready to buy.

Quick gut check: is this for you?

  • Tech / SaaS You want Bay Area clicks, demos, and signups—and you are fine telling a short “why us” story, not only a logo.
  • Professional services You need trust—law, finance, health, trades, and the like. A fuller write-up next to serious reporting helps people pick you over a stranger on a list.
  • Values-driven brands You care about community, climate, or local schools—this audience already cares about those topics.
  • Startups & new shops You want maximum reach in one push—on the site, on social, and when people share the issue.
  • B2B services You sell to other businesses—you want readers who compare options calmly instead of impulse-tapping the cheapest ad.
