# Own the Sports Sectionof Your City's News

      

Your brand on the section header, the sidebar, and every game coverage page — a dedicated, season-long sponsorship of the entire Sports section on a HERE city publication.

    
  

  
  
    
      Overview
      

## What Is a Sports Section Sponsorship?

      

A Sports Section Sponsorship is the most prominent brand position available on a HERE City Network local publication. When you sponsor the Sports section, your brand owns the entire experience — from the section header at the top of every sports page to the sidebar that accompanies every article, to the branding that frames every game preview, recap, and athlete feature published by that HERE city site.

      

Sports readers are among the most loyal, high-frequency visitors in local media. They return daily during the season, they share coverage with their networks, and they have deep emotional investment in the content they read. A brand that sponsors their sports section isn't just getting impressions — it's becoming part of the sports experience for an entire city's fan base.

      

This sponsorship is ideal for **car dealerships, insurance agencies, financial institutions, sporting goods retailers, healthcare providers, and any brand that serves a broad local audience** and wants the kind of consistent, premium brand placement that television sponsorships used to provide — but in the local digital environment where today's sports fans actually live.

      

Sports Section Sponsorships are available for specific HERE city publications, and can be combined into multi-city packages for brands that operate across multiple markets. Every game that gets covered, every team that gets featured, every athlete that gets spotlighted carries your brand — for the entire duration of the sponsorship.

### Section Header Branding

          

Your logo and brand appear at the top of the Sports section landing page — the first thing fans see every time they navigate to sports coverage on the HERE city publication.

        
        
          
          

### Sidebar Presence

          

Your brand occupies the sidebar of every sports article published during your sponsorship — maintaining persistent visibility through every game recap, player profile, and score update readers consume.

        
        
          
          

### Game Coverage Pages

          

Every game coverage page — previews, live updates, and recaps — carries your brand. The highest-traffic, most-shared sports content on the site works for your brand every time it's read.
