Sponsorship

Two rectangles.
That's everything we sell.

Board Room carries exactly two sponsor placements: the strip under the weekly digest masthead, and the slot on the quarterly Impact Report cover. There is no third. There are no interior ads, no sidebar ads, no sponsored matches — and there never will be.

The scarcity is the point. A board of directors is the most concentrated room of decision-makers in your county, and the fastest way to make that room worthless is to sell it twice.

The audience is the board

Not the membership list. The directors — the people who run the largest employers, banks, hospitals, and firms in the community, reading on a Friday morning because it's about them.

A presenter, not a co-author

"Presented by" and a logo. The report is the chamber's, in the chamber's voice. A sponsor who looks like the author of the board's own numbers devalues both.

One sponsor at a time

No rotation, no bidding war, no second logo beside you. One logo on the digest, one on the cover. Exclusive for the run.

The first rectangle


The digest masthead strip.

Every Friday, Board Room emails the whole board what happened this week — the asks that need answering, the intros that got made. It's the one thing a director opens even when they're not logging in. The sponsor strip sits directly beneath the chamber's masthead rule, above the news.

  • Weekly, to every board member on the roster
  • Logo lockup on the masthead rule — the first thing under the chamber's name
  • "This week's digest is presented by" — one line, one logo
  • Built like a letter: plain type, no tracking pixels, readable even with images turned off
  • Sold by the quarter, alongside the report cover or on its own

Unsold — what only your staff sees

Only your staff ever see the unsold version. Board members never see an empty ad slot — an unsold digest simply has no strip.

The second rectangle


The Impact Report cover.

Once a quarter, Board Room produces the report the chair presents to the board — four fixed numbers on what the board actually did for local businesses. It gets printed. It gets emailed. It gets put on a screen at the annual meeting, by the chair, in front of the room.

One logo rides on the cover of that document. It's the single most valuable rectangle ChamberBee makes, precisely because it's the only one.

  • Quarterly — cover only, one sponsor
  • Logo box max 120×32 — a presenter, not a co-author
  • "This quarter's report is presented by" — the only sponsor copy on the document
  • Interior pages carry no advertising of any kind
  • Travels wherever the chair takes it — screen, print, inbox, board packet

Unsold — what only your staff sees

⬡  Sponsor slot available — your logo in front of every board member, all quarter.  Sell it →

Same rule as the digest: only your staff ever see the open slot. A quarter with no sponsor simply prints a cover with no slot.

Until a quarter has real numbers, the cover shows a dash — the numbers are never invented. The four stats are fixed — intros, asks fulfilled, deals, sign-in rate — so quarters stay comparable and nobody gets to pick a flattering one.

The rules, in writing

What a sponsor gets, and what a sponsor never gets.

You get

A logo and "presented by" on one or both units, exclusive for the run. A named audience: this chamber's board of directors. And association with the one document the chair actually presents.

You never get

Board member names, emails, or any personal data. Influence over the numbers, the matches, or the copy. Interior pages. Or a second sponsor beside you.

Why the wall is this high: the sponsorship is worth something only as long as the board trusts the document. The moment a director wonders whether a match was bought, the whole product is dead — and so is the rectangle. Sponsors are buying the trust; we're not going to spend it.

Sponsoring, or selling?

If you want your logo on a board's digest, or you're a chamber wondering what these two rectangles are worth in your market — same inbox, either way.
