Dear Riverview Jazz Festival Sponsor,
Congratulations on your continued support of the Jersey City Jazz Festival — one of Hudson County's most celebrated cultural events, drawing thousands of attendees to the Exchange Place Waterfront each year. Your investment in the arts makes a real difference in our community.
We are reaching out on behalf of Urban Times News NJ Online, Hudson County's independent community news source, to invite you to extend your brand's visibility beyond the festival grounds — and into the homes and screens of engaged local residents year-round.
As a Jazz Festival sponsor, you already understand the value of community presence. Urban Times News NJ Online offers you a powerful complement:
- Print Newspaper Advertising — Reach readers across Jersey City, Bayonne, Hoboken, and Kearny with full-page, half-page, and quarter-page display ads in our community print editions.
- Digital Banner Advertising — Featured placements on our website and in our newsletter, delivered directly to thousands of Hudson County subscribers.
- Event Spotlight Coverage — Dedicated editorial features highlighting your business, your sponsorships, and your community impact, written and published by our editorial team.
- Jazz Festival Preview Edition — Premium ad placement in our special Jazz Week edition, reaching readers specifically engaged with the event and its sponsors.
Our readers are your customers — local families, business owners, civic leaders, and arts supporters who live and work in the same neighborhoods your brand is committed to. Advertising with Urban Times News NJ is not just a marketing investment; it is a statement that your organization stands with the community.
We would love to schedule a brief conversation to customize an advertising package that fits your goals and budget. Whether you are looking for a one-time placement or a full-season partnership, we have options starting at very accessible price points for local sponsors.
Please reach out at your earliest convenience. We look forward to the opportunity to support your brand the same way you support our community's arts and culture.
With warm regards,
The Editorial & Advertising Team
