The Urbanite reaches Brisbane's most culturally engaged audience — the people who go to the ballet, back local business, and follow what's actually happening in this city. Three ways to work with us, below.
Editorial coverage is free — and it's ours to give.If your story earns it, we'll cover it, on our terms, in our voice. That's what keeps our readers trusting what we publish — most good stories end up here, not in the packages below.
Guaranteed placement is paid.If you need certainty — a publish date, a homepage slot, a run of social posts — that's what the packages below buy.
We're a magazine, not a charity — but we won't trade our readers' trust to run it.
