01 AUDIENCE
Zero waste
Every reader is a founder of color, an impact investor, or an ecosystem leader. The exact audience of small-business and community-impact programs, in one room.
On October 1, Boston Impact Initiative brings together the leaders of the ~60 companies in its portfolio, founders of color from across Eastern Massachusetts, for a full-day Leadership Summit, followed by a reception with 90 more guests from the region's impact investing community. In that room: entrepreneurs, fund managers, foundations, banks, and the people who decide where Boston's community capital goes next.
The Catalyst is the official publication of the day. A real newspaper, produced by El Planeta and printed on premium stock, with a designed directory of every portfolio leader, BII's vision and strategy, and the working agenda of the Summit. Facilitators send participants to specific pages during sessions. It gets used all day, and it goes home, not in the bin.
We are opening a small number of sponsorship placements in the edition. No logo walls, no banner clutter: at most three brands in the entire publication, or one, if you take it all.
Every reader is a founder of color, an impact investor, or an ecosystem leader. The exact audience of small-business and community-impact programs, in one room.
A designed newspaper on premium paper, used in every session and taken home. Your brand stays on the founder's desk, long after the day.
Three brands maximum in the entire edition. Take the presenting spot and yours is the only one.
Partner tiers include a full-page story about your work with local entrepreneurs, written and designed by El Planeta's editorial team.
Partner and Presenting tiers include a full editorial page about your organization's work with local entrepreneurs: a program, a partnership, a founder you backed. El Planeta's team interviews, writes, and designs it in the visual language of the edition, so it reads like journalism, because it is. You approve it before print.
It is the difference between being seen in the room and being read in the room.
"How [your brand] helped a Chelsea founder triple her team", as a designed feature page, with your name on the byline block and your story in every reader's hands.
