Advertise with The Sundial, San Antonio College’s student newsroom

The Sundial is San Antonio College’s student-run newspaper and multimedia publication.

Current audience measurements have not been supplied.

Proposed package, terms to be confirmed with The Sundial: your brand in The Sundial’s native SNO ad positions (desktop header 728 x 90, tablet header, mobile header and desktop sidebar 300 x 250), each linked to the destination you choose. Forrest Good PLLC produces the animated GIF with a static PNG/JPG fallback in your brand, sized to the confirmed slots, with copy, alternative text and a placement manifest. Sundial students place and rotate the ads in the SNO software they already use; no custom code or extra subscription. The house creative on this sheet is a representative sample of that production standard.
