Example one column ad

In news or feature articles

The one column shape won't bust your budget but still has enough space to make a call to action. If you have several messages, it works well to place 2 or 3 of these on consecutive right hand pages.

Example two column ad

More space for your message

The two column shape can be placed within the news section or feature articles within the magazine. Full pages are available if you need even more space. This shape works well for companies with a wide logo and ads that need more space for graphics.
