What It Means TO Advertise With The St. Louisan

We’re a modern media company set apart by fresh, original content.

We deliver relevant stories with a focus on culture, style, art, eating, entertaining, wellness, real St. Louisans, and their projects and businesses.

Our community sets us apart. We position our contributors as the tastemakers they are and realize that those who work with us and contribute to us are what makes us great.

“Everyone knows how media companies and influencers make money. We sell advertising. We sell merchandise. We employ affiliate links. We sell subscriptions. I think it’s becoming more and more important that media disclose exactly how money is made. The reader is smart and they don’t want to be in the dark.

We’re passionate about being transparent and we make sure the reader knows when content is paid-for. It’s easy for us because we only work with brands we already love and support. The paid-for content on our site is content we’d be writing about whether it was paid-for or not. We’re trememdously thankful for readers who understand that because it allows us to continue to support small business in our region.”
