Align Your Brand with Stories That Drive Action

The Bay Area relies on trusted media outlets like The San Francisco Chronicle and SFGATE to learn more about the world around them, stay up to date with their communities, and make important decisions about their lives – like which events to attend, where to send their kids to school, and which new restaurants to try.

That is why our advertisers come to us time and time again. We align brands with the stories the Bay Area cares most about. We help our communities connect with businesses they want to support. And as a brand, when people can feel the passion of your story, that is the memory that will be recalled every time they think about your business.

Safeway Open

Customer Story

"They created the digital story for us and developed an ad targeting strategy that delivers strong engagement among all of our demographics. These types of product additions have expanded the attendance of the tournament beyond the die-hard male golf enthusiast and ensure greater ticket sales each year."

The Hearst Bay Area Team Has Been Excellent to Work With!

"We launched our first campaign with them this year which included a podcast sponsorship, targeted display advertising, and paid social posts.


The overall goal of the campaign was to build brand awareness for a client who has new distribution in the Northern California area, and we have been very impressed with the results thus far.

Throughout the planning and implementation process, the team has been extremely professional, responsive, and transparent.

Thank you for surpassing our expectations!"
