A premium physical surface for brands that want to live inside culture, not chase it through another disposable feed placement.

Own the most collectible exterior surface of the paper.
Dedicated full-page ad environment inside the paper's advertising showcase.

One advertiser per category for Issue #1. Useful for crypto, fintech, cannabis, wellness, and alcohol.
Multi-issue commitment with launch priority, reporting, and renewal rights.
Editorial boundary: sponsorship buys placement, scarcity, and reporting. It does not buy editorial coverage or editorial control.
National brands get premium display inventory. Local LA brands get smaller, affordable units designed for restaurants, gyms, wellness studios, boutiques, events, and neighborhood services.
Maximum impact for a launch, category statement, or high-conviction brand campaign.
Premium presence with room for story, offer, proof, and QR code.
Efficient direct response inside a physical editorial environment.

For larger brands, Issue #1 supports the core display menu shown here: full-page, half-page, quarter-page, banner, and sidebar-style placements. Local and classified units are priced separately below.
Example mockup for premium display inventory. Final creative can be advertiser-supplied or adapted to the paper's print specs.
The ChatGPT mockup is the right core menu for display ads. For the first issue, we should offer these formats plus local/classified units so smaller LA advertisers have a real entry point.

Strong display unit with enough room for a brand story, product proof, QR code, and offer.
The main workhorse placement. Good for local restaurants, gyms, med spas, streetwear, events, and regional brands.

Text-first local listing for events, hiring, pop-ups, real estate, rooms, services, community notices, and small businesses.
