The audience you're buying

Not tourists. Not a rented list. Locals who asked to be here

Where your brand shows up

Two places to show up, two different jobs

Thursday morning reaches everyone at once. The website keeps working the rest of the week, including locals who aren't subscribers yet.

The inbox

Thursday, 7 AM

One send, one shot, no competition for attention. Events, restaurant openings, retail and development news, and the stories that keep locals talking. Your placement sits inside content people opted into and finish reading.

The audience

Affluent, settled, and already spending here

The inbox

Newsletter placements

Priced per issue. Multi-week campaigns and event partnerships are worth a conversation.

Most popular

Primary

$500
Per issue

Your logo at the top of the newsletter plus a 150-word placement. Maximum visibility with the most engaged readers on the list.

Secondary

$250
Per issue

Mid-read, 100 words. Deep enough that only engaged readers are still here, early enough to own the moment.

Featured event

$250
Per issue

The only featured event in the issue, placed where engagement peaks. Built for driving attendance.

The site — new for 2026

Web placements

Monthly, not per issue. Your placement runs on roughly 20 new stories a month, for about 13,500 page views. Three-month minimum.

Web sponsor

$250
Per month

A full sponsor card at the end of every story we publish that month. Logo, 40 to 50 words, and a button. Room to actually make your case.

Best value

Presenting sponsor

$450
Per month · exclusive

Both placements: a presented-by line directly under every headline, plus the sponsor card at the end. One presenting sponsor at a time. Twelve slots a year.

Charleston partner

$895
Per month

Presenting sponsor on the site, plus one Primary newsletter placement every month. The full run of both, at a bundled rate.

Why monthlyCharleston news has a short shelf life, so nearly all of our web traffic lands on stories published in the last few weeks. Buying a month means your placement rides the stories while they're actually being read, instead of a single issue that's gone by Friday.
From a sponsor
Jimmy has been phenomenal in supporting my business growth. I really appreciated his proactive approach and guidance in putting together the right strategy to maximize my impact in the newsletter.
