Ways to Advertise

• Place your organization’s banner ad on IM. This allows you to have your ad seen by all visitors of IM during the time of the selected package.
• Advertise your organization by sponsoring a Featured Collection of IM Articles. This allows you to have your name associated with a special topic area (e.g., AI, digital curation) for the duration of the campaign. For example, Acme organization sponsoring the AI collection (at least 10 articles) with the Gold package will have their banner and name advertised as “Special Collection on AI Sponsored by Acme” or “Acme Presents a Special Collection on AI”. This allows the organization to have their name more strongly and publicly associated with that area.
