How sponsorship works

Pick a city. Pick a weekday. Own it.

Your business appears in every edition on your day, every week — not a one-off ad buy, a standing presence in a daily reading habit.

1

Pick your city

Six capital-city editions, each written locally for its readers. Founding slots are open in every capital — one sponsor per category in each.

2

Pick your weekday

You own that day each week as the sole sponsor — with category exclusivity, so no competitor of yours ever shares an edition with you.

3

We do the rest

Send us your copy, or we'll write it for you at no charge. You approve everything before it runs, and get a plain-English report every month.

What readers say

The kind of audience that writes back

Verbatim, from our May 2026 reader survey — the readers your message would sit beside.

Only you — I love getting it every morning.

I love the Adelaide focus and the personalised feel of it.

Why a newsletter?

You could boost another post. Or you could own the morning.

Most of our sponsors' alternative isn't another publication — it's Facebook and Google ads. Here's the honest comparison:

Morning Post sponsorshipFacebook & Google ads
Who sees itThe same local over-50s readers, every weekWhoever the algorithm serves it to, fleetingly
What it costsOne flat monthly rateAn auction — the price rises as competitors bid
Your competitorsLocked out — one sponsor per categoryBidding on the same audience, and on your name
The settingInside a daily email readers chose and trustInterrupting a feed built to scroll past
Work requiredNone — we write and design it for youCreative testing, campaign management, agency fees

Keep your search ads for people already looking. Sponsorship does the other half of the job: being the name they recognise — and trust — when they do.
