We are currently seeking advertising for our Michaelmas edition, which will appear in October 2008 and be picked up by the thousands of new students arriving in Cambridge. The Berry will once again have a prominent position at the Freshers’ Fair, attended by new and old students alike, where we will be distributing 2000 copies of the new newspaper and recruiting new writers and members of our production team. Not only that, but October is prime recruitment time, and many companies choose to use The Berry to secure the best and brightest graduates from among our readership.
2008 brings the launch of our brand-new website, and we hope with its user-friendly design and opportunities for reader-generated involvement it will prove extremely popular. Currently the site will contain all the articles which have appeared in the paper since January 2008, as well as a downloadable PDF of the current edition. By advertising on the website you will benefit from the online strategy we plan to use to promote The Berry, and any adverts in the paper will of course be preserved online in the PDF edition for a wide range of visitors to download and view.
Since 2006 we have held launch parties to celebrate the release of each new edition at Ta Bouche, a trendy Cambridge bar, to which we invite all our contributors, members of our production team, and anyone else who is either interested in being involved or simply enjoys reading The Berry. Turnout has been high at all these events, and we look forward to continuing this success. While we have previously held all these events independently, we would be interested in exploring the opportunities for sponsorship of such an event.
The Berry is always keen to attract new advertisers, and rates for advertising in the print edition range from £90 to £600. We also offer special offers for the purchase of advertising for a full year.
Please contact our Treasurer, Matej Macak for further information and a copy of our Advertising Guide.
