The Davis Current is a local newsletter that lands in Davis inboxes twice a week. It is small on purpose and read closely, which is the only reason a placement here is worth anything.

Why here
It gets opened
A billboard, a radio spot or a boosted post goes out to everyone and hopes. This goes to people who asked for it, and most of them open it.
It is genuinely local
Every issue is about Davis — what opened, what closed, what is on this weekend. Your placement sits inside that, not beside it.
Three simple placements
No tiers and no minimum buy. Tell us which one fits and we will quote it.

Placements are priced per issue. Most businesses run more than one — a single send is a trial, not a campaign. We price to our real, current audience and never inflate the numbers.
What a placement looks like
You give us the heading, the copy and the link. We set it in the issue's own voice so it reads like the rest of the newsletter rather than an interruption — that is why people read it. A primary sponsor gets an image and the top slot. A featured event gets written up inside the events section where readers are already looking for something to do. A classified is a couple of lines and a link.
We will say no to anything we would not run ourselves, and we will tell you why.
Who runs it
Ryan and Blake Cooper, two brothers from and living in Davis. If you buy a placement you are dealing with a multi-generational-Davis family directly, not an ad network.
