PARTNERSHIP STRATEGY - CUSTOM CHANNEL

Untitled-1-0045.jpg

GreenGale will create a new custom channel - "Just Add Sugar" - for the duration of the program in each advertised market. This channel will act as a holder for all content that is published on our sites that is fun and colorful, across a broad range of categories - pop culture (events, festivals, etc), dining & nightlife, fashion, art, retro, and design. Content can include topics such as (but not limited to):

- Restaurants with Art Pieces You Have to See
- Cotton Candy-Colored Decor to Brighten Up Your Home
- Over-the-Top Dessert Experiences All Sweet Lovers Need to Try
- Favorite Pop-Art from Art Basel
- The Best Colorful Summer Fashion

This "Just Add Sugar" custom channel will  highlighted on the homepage navigation bar in a way that stands out from the other channels.

This page will also be skinned with Sugar Factory ad banners hyperlinked to your website. GreenGale encourages Sugar Factory to periodically update the site skin creative for a fresh and exciting look. In addition, the channel can also be customized to include added promotional elements from Sugar Factory, such as Spotify playlists, reservation widgets to drive bookings, recipes, subscriber signups, or any other add-ons that may be of interest to Sugar Factory (can be discussed upon program negotiation).

Sugar Factory will also receive one sponsored content piece per month (per market) to highlight activities, promotions, or events. This content can be national or local-centric, and will be given prime placement in the homepage rotator for one week when the post goes live (see mockups below). Content will also be pushed via our extensive social media networks.
