Advertise with Lightbeforethetunnel
Lightbeforethetunnel reaches adults who are dealing with something real: a career change, a burned-out year, a breakup, a setback they’re still sorting out. They read slowly and they’re wary of hype. Advertising here has to respect that.
Who reads the site
Our readers are mostly working adults, parents, caregivers and students in the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom and Australia, with a local base around Conway, Myrtle Beach and the Grand Strand in South Carolina. We’re a young publication, so we don’t quote traffic figures we can’t stand behind. Ask us for current numbers and we’ll share what our analytics actually show.
Formats
- Leaderboard (728×90): under the menu and between article sections.
- Square (300×250): in sidebars and within article text, never above the headline.
- Skyscraper (160×600): in the sidebar on larger screens.
- Sponsored articles: clearly labeled as sponsored at the top of the page, written to the same standards as our editorial work.
What we don’t accept
No ads that promise guaranteed outcomes, cures or overnight change. No predatory lending, no products that discourage people from following prescribed treatment, and nothing that exploits someone at their lowest point. We review every campaign before it runs.
Editorial independence
Advertisers don’t choose our topics, review our articles before publication or influence what we recommend. Display ads are served separately from editorial content. Sponsored pieces are always labeled, so readers can tell the difference at a glance.
