Advertise in Futurist Letters

Connect with the people who understand your vision.

Futurist Letters is boldly embracing tomorrow with a self-serve advertising platform. Prospective sponsors can now book an entire month of ads in an instant, supporting the arts and reaching an elite audience at the same time.

Audience

Futurist readers are smart, discerning, and educated. They are the tastemakers for their communities, arts and tech focused, majority 20s-40s in age and two-thirds male. They are highly open to new things and they want your product! Only you truly know your brand, so if you think Futurist is a good fit then go ahead and use our ad portal to make yourself known. There are two types to choose from.

Journal Sole Sponsorship

Journal sponsorships will give you three clickable banners in every article that comes out in the journal for an entire month. These ads will remain up in perpetuity, even after your month runs out. We expect 50k-100k organic impressions over the course of each month, depending on traffic.

You will upload your banners to the portal during checkout. These will be hand-placed in each article and thus not susceptible to ad blockers. They will be embedded in the manner below.

We suspect that graphic, high-contrast, mostly-grayscale ads will feel more thoughtful and thus drive more traffic for you, but we leave it to your discretion. If you want us to make banners for you, email us about it:

Show Sole Sponsorship

Show sponsorship will grant you an exclusive verbal sponsor message read by the host at the beginning and end of every The Futurist Letters Show episode for a whole month. All you need to do is paste or write your script copy in the portal during checkout.

Prospective impressions are unclear while the show is in development. We will know more once it airs and we are well into our first season, later this year.

Portal

We think it's cool that the portal can be anonymous and permissionless. We have the right to reject anything particularly heinous, but for the most part we want you to go wild. Sell your novel, your rival publication, your lifestyle brand, your token, your energy drinks. It’s your month!

To book a month, select a sponsorship type and then click the 1st of that month in the booking calendar. You will notice we have a Dutch auction system that reduces the price of unsold ad inventory before it expires.

Best of all, by buying ads you’re supporting our mission of buying publication rights from up-and-coming artists and essayists. If you don’t have anything to sell, but still want to see us succeed, please consider becoming a paying subscriber of the journal instead.
