Peak Partners:  Sponsorship / Advertising Opportunities

Close to two million people live in the KZNT AM 1460 coverage area, and 20+ million visit the Pikes Peak region each year.  And yet, only 18 local businesses and organizations will become our Peak Partners.  We invite you to be one of them!

Please read this page and our entire website thoroughly to determine if you are a good fit for our exclusive “Peak Partner” program.  We’re seeking area businesses and organizations that truly value how this type of journalistic accountability can transform our region and beyond.  We also want partners who are proud to be affiliated with The Peak because we share your same family- and community-focused values.

The Peak offers three levels of Partnership/Sponsorship/Advertising opportunities for local businesses and organizations that wish to both support our work and be promoted through our broadcast/podcast and related marketing efforts. 

Whether you become a Silver, Gold, or Platinum-level Partner, you will be a crucial member of our team that is responsible for providing the Pikes Peak region with accountability through exceptional journalism.  Thank you for your support!

(Please Note:  Sponsors have NO editorial control over our ultimate decision-making as a news organization regarding what stories we report on nor how we report on them.)

Silver Sponsorship

Limited # of Partnerships Offered:  10

Provided in each 1-hour Episode:  In every episode, four days a week and on weekends (in “best of” episodes in phase 2), each Silver partner receives one 30-second commercial in both our radio broadcast and video livestream to promote their business or organization.  Production of these two basic commercials is included, and up to two new ads may be produced each calendar quarter at our expense.

Provided each Week:  Each week you will receive one 10 – 15 second, live on-air shout-out from the show host, directly thanking and endorsing your business, and encouraging listeners to patronize you.

Monthly VIP Event:  You receive one ticket each month to our VIP event with high-level networking with the other sponsors of The Peak, and an awesome guest speaker. 

Included Marketing and Promotion:  Your logo will be included on some of our print/electronic promotion (as space permits) and in a prominent place on our website as a Silver Sponsor.  You also have the right to use “Official Sponsor of The Peak” and our logo in your marketing materials.

Gold Sponsorship

Limited # of Partnerships Offered:  4

Provided in each 1-hour Episode:  In every episode, four days a week and on weekends (in “best of” episodes in phase 2), each Gold partner receives 60 seconds of commercial time in both the radio broadcast and video livestream to promote their business or organization.  Production of up to two basic commercials is included, and up to two new commercials may be produced each quarter at our expense.

Provided each Week:  Recurring each week you’ll have your own “real estate”, so to speak, with a regular weekly show segment that you specifically support.  You will be promoted as the sponsor at the top and bottom of this segment, and will have input (but not editorial control) as to what we feature in that segment.  There are additional bonuses connected to your weekly segment (see below).  Plus in another program each week you will receive one 10 – 15 second, live on-air “shout-out” from the show host, directly thanking and endorsing your business, and encouraging listeners to patronize you. 

Provided each Month:  Once each month on the weekly segment that you specifically sponsor, we will bring you (or a representative) on the program to talk about whatever you want.  From what’s new in your organization and the goods and/or services you provide our community, to something that’s really burning in your heart and soul to speak out about, it’s basically up to you. 

Monthly VIP Event:  You receive two tickets each month to our VIP event with high-level networking with the other sponsors of The Peak, and an awesome guest speaker. 

Included Marketing and Promotion:  Your logo will be included on most of our print/electronic promotions (as space permits) and in a prominent place on our website as a Gold Sponsor.  Also, one message a calendar quarter to our email and text list and our social media will feature your organization or the topic/organization of your choice.  You also have the right to use “Official Sponsor of The Peak” and our logo in your marketing materials.

Platinum Sponsorship

Limited # of Partnerships Offered:  4

Provided in each 1-hour Episode:  In every episode, four days a week and on weekends (in “best of” episodes in phase 2), each Platinum partner receives 60 seconds of commercial time (either one :60-second ad, or two :30-second ads) in both the radio broadcast and video livestream to promote their business or organization.  Production of up to four basic commercials is included, and up to four new basic commercials may be produced each new quarter at our expense.

Provided each Week:  Our Monday – Thursday episodes will each be officially sponsored by one of our four Platinum partners, who will receive mentions and thank yous throughout that program.  You and your brand will “own” that specific day each week, and there are additional bonuses connected to your weekly episode sponsorship (see below).  In addition, each week you will have 10 – 15 second, live on-air “shout-outs” on three different episodes (that are not the weekly episode that you officially sponsor) from the show host directly thanking and endorsing your business, and encouraging listeners to patronize you.

Provided each Month:  Once each month on the weekly program that you fully sponsor, an interview segment will be designated to talk about whatever you want.  From what’s new with your organization and the goods and/or services you provide our community, to something that’s really burning in your heart and soul to speak out about, it’s basically up to you.  This can be conducted in an interview or monologue format.

Exclusive Podcast Ads:  Platinum partners will each have one :30-second commercial on the daily episodes of our full-length audio and video Podcasts, which will not contain any other ads.  In general, if Podcasts run commercials at all, they typically have only one per break, and so per industry standard your ad will play solo on Podcasts during one of our four episode breaks.

Monthly VIP Event:  You receive four tickets to our monthly VIP event with high-level networking with the other sponsors of The Peak, and an awesome guest speaker.  But wait, there’s more:  Exclusively as a Platinum sponsor, you also receive an invitation each month for you and your guests to attend our pre-event VIP reception with that evening’s speaker.

Included Marketing and Promotion:  Included with all of the above, Platinum sponsors receive mentions in approximately one out of four of The Peak’s promotional broadcast and streaming commercials.  As well, your logo will be on almost all of our print/electronic promotions and featured with prominent placement on our website.  Also, one message a month to our email and text list and our social media will feature your organization or the topic/organization of your choice.  You also have the right to use “Official Sponsor of The Peak” and our logo in your marketing materials.

A Seat on Our Advisory Board:  YOU have a seat on our Advisory Board to help guide the short- and long-term success of our operations, including suggesting what topics you believe are important for us to cover.*  We think this might be the best reason of all for being a Platinum sponsor!

* Please note:  As a member of the Advisory Board, you have NO editorial control over our ultimate decision-making as a news organization regarding what stories we report on nor how we report on them.  We simply believe that you, as a significant funder of our hometown news organization, should get to suggest what stories are important to you.  You will receive a “Producer” credit on the reports that you help inspire, and we’ll make it a priority to feature those segments (when appropriate) on the weekly episode that you sponsor each week.

From the moment that Chaim started talking to us about The Peak, we were committed to seeing this crucially important news program get on the air.  Personally, and as a local business, we’re honored to be partnering with the awesome team that’s producing this daily show for the Pikes Peak community.

We encourage others to get involved as sponsors (like us), or as citizen journalists, or as guests to share about how they’re making a positive impact in our region.

It’s especially important at this time in our nation’s history for local business owners to engage civically, and supporting The Peak is the perfect opportunity to do just that!
