Media Partnership Opportunities

With our exclusive media partnerships on SSID publications, we offer brands unique opportunities to integrate their creative into our publications and to reach a targeted demographic of more than 5000 Vancouver-based culturally active subscribers in three segments.

Our partners' messages are graphically integrated into each of the daily dividers and linked to their sites or interstitial pages. Included are also opportunities for branded giveaways and exclusive website media buys.

The SSID sites (www.socialempire.com, www.urbanmixer.com, www.executive-zone.com) are an excellent method of targeting Vancouver's most active demographic. Each day, thousands of unique visitors visit our websites looking for the lastest information on what's happening in the city be it for social reasons or for business.

The SSID (Social Empire, Urban Mixer, Executive Zone) audiences represent a growing, targeted group of active readers: 70% of our subscribers are between the ages of 28 and 39; they go out more than 2 times per week; and they consult our regular missives more than 3 times every week.

SSID also holds several monthly networking/social events in Vancouver, BC, Canada with valuable exposure opportunities for companies looking to showcase their products/services to saavy and socially active consumers.
