Targeting consumers in the right place at the right time in their purchasing process is challenging for many organizations, especially as consumers now use a variety of channels and devices for research and planning purposes. As we find ourselves in an “experience economy,” it is now more important than ever to break through the noise and provide customers with the opportunity to engage with your brand.

Throughout the year, the Times Union helps connect businesses of all sizes and types with spend-ready consumers and influential business executives to drive sales and grow market share. We offer turnkey programs leveraging our influential audience and the power of our editorial content to generate awareness and leads for our partners.

It’s through our signature publications, special sections, industry events and strategic local partnerships that we are able to bring connections to life. From engaging spotlights on local businesses during the holiday shopping season like ShopLocal to highly targeted sections for a Senior Living audience to our quarterly coverage of all things business through Upstate Business, our special content features are some of the most eagerly anticipated work we do at the Times Union.

These special content features occur throughout the year and are a way for brands to align themselves with a particular audience, message, or story in an impactful and memorable way. Developing a comprehensive branding program to drive results with a suite of traditional and digital solutions is key to reach consumers in unique, novel and authentic ways.

While there are many facets of print advertising, specialty sections and publications tap into the interests of specific audiences and demographics. Providing valuable and interesting content via tangible, eye-catching marketing collateral is a fantastic opportunity for a multitude of organizations.

The Times Union’s Saratoga Green publication is one such special section that is now in full swing for the 2022 summer season! Check out specific details below.
