Down East is proud to sponsor events across Maine supporting a variety of non-profits, the arts, and key industries for the Pine Tree State. The majority of sponsorships are in-kind contributions from Down East providing media support to help promote events. The value of the media deliverables is equal to the sponsor level.
The media options include, and are not limited to, print, digital, social, and email. All media deliverables are a marketing mix best suited for the event. Please download our media kit to review our audience assets at downeast.com/advertise/
