Three placements across our news site, our weekday newsletter and our morning podcast, sold directly to businesses serving Saint-Laurent and the north island.
Weekly Site Banner
A single banner placement runs on article pages of our news site for seven days, sized for both desktop and mobile readers. It suits local service businesses, restaurants and one-off events that want visibility while a specific story or event window is live. The placement rotates across our current article pages rather than sitting on one fixed page, so it is seen by whoever is reading local coverage that week.
We adapt artwork you supply to fit our banner dimensions at no extra cost, and if something about the campaign needs to change partway through — a new phone number, an updated offer — we can swap the artwork once mid-week without charging again. At the end of the seven days you receive a short summary of impressions and clicks so you can see how the placement performed.
- · Runs seven consecutive days on live article pages
- · Desktop and mobile sizing supplied by us
- · One mid-week artwork swap included
- · Impression and click summary at the end of the run

Six spots, two weeks
Morning Briefing Podcast Package
Six pre-recorded 30-second spots air across two weeks of our weekday morning news briefing podcast. Each spot is produced with light background music and a short script, which you review and approve before recording. It is a format regional businesses along the Marcel-Laurin corridor and across the borough have used to reach commuters listening on their way to work.
We help write the script if you do not already have one, record it with our own voice talent so the tone matches the rest of the episode, and send you a per-episode listen report once the run finishes. Nothing airs without your sign-off on the final script.
- · Six 30-second spots across two weeks
- · Scriptwriting assistance included
- · Professional voice recording, in-house
- · Per-episode listen report
Full Console Campaign
The Full Console Campaign combines all three formats into a single five-week run: banner placements on the site, three sponsor features inside our newsletter, and four host reads on the podcast, balanced across the five weeks according to your timing and goals. It is built for organisations planning a considered seasonal presence — a fall opening, a season of programming, a longer promotional window — rather than a single short push.
The campaign opens with a planning session where we map out which weeks carry which format, continues with a short weekly check-in so nothing runs without your knowledge, and ends with a closing summary covering performance across the banner, the newsletter features and the podcast reads together.
- · Five weeks combining banner, newsletter and podcast formats
- · Three newsletter sponsor features
- · Four podcast host reads
- · Planning session, weekly check-ins and a closing summary

Where this reaches
Our coverage area is Saint-Laurent and the north island: Ville Saint-Laurent, Bois-Franc, Cartierville, Ahuntsic and the Marcel-Laurin corridor. A placement is useful if some or all of your customers come from that area, whether you run a shop on a Saint-Laurent commercial street, a service business working the Marcel-Laurin corridor, or an event drawing people from Bois-Franc and Cartierville.
These placements are not a fit for national brands looking for province-wide reach, or for anyone outside advertising and editorial media categories. Everything here is local, borough-level advertising, sold plainly.
Local service businesses
Restaurants, clinics, retailers and tradespeople working within the coverage area.
Event organisers
One-off events, markets and community programming that want a short, timed push.
Organisations planning ahead
Groups with a season or a longer campaign window who want the combined format.
What the price covers
Each price above covers the placement exactly as described: the format, the run length and the production support listed. Basic artwork resizing, scriptwriting help and the performance summary are part of the price, not add-ons. A final confirmation is sent once we have your materials and agreed dates, so you know exactly what you are paying for before the placement begins.
