Short pitch

We are running a modest, 5-minute survey to help us better define our audience to help convince advertisers that you all are alright and they should spend some of their marketing budget on Brand New. Everyone that fills the survey will receive a discount code good for $24 of Brand New Conference videos AND, optional, a chance to win 1 of 5 free tickets to the Brand New Conference.

Longer, more heartfelt pitch

As we double-down on our commitment to Brand New — given its humbling growth and enthusiastic readership — we are looking to reinvigorate its ability to fund itself on a more reliable basis. While some of our efforts on the blog are remunerated through the Brand New Conference, the blog is still a daily effort that demands 3 to 4 hours each day and it sure would be nice for that time and energy to more directly translate into income (to put food on the table and resources on the blog). If you are a long-time reader you may have noticed a decline in advertising from outside sources — we used to have a queue of 5 advertisers a month for 2 – 3 years running — and what’s baffling is that this past year is the strongest our monthly readership has been, averaging 1.8 million pageviews a month. So… We are running a modest, 5-minute survey to help us better define our audience to help convince advertisers that you all are alright and they should spend some of their marketing budget on Brand New. Everyone that fills the survey will receive a discount code good for $24 of Brand New Conference videos AND, optional, a chance to win 1 of 5 free tickets to the Brand New Conference.
