An advertorial is a sponsored article that blends editorial-style storytelling with your brand’s message. It offers a more engaging and authentic way to connect with readers compared to a standard ad.
HSJ offers two options to suit different advertising needs.
Client-Provided:
You provide your own content (article, story, or promotion), which will undergo editorial review for tone, length, and formatting.
Your advertorial will appear as a full-page placement in the magazine/flipbook, strategically positioned for visibility.
Include an optional clickable link or QR code to drive readers directly to your website or shop.
Disclosure Requirement:
All full-page advertorials must be clearly identified as sponsored content to maintain the integrity of Home Sweet Jamaica and ensure transparency with our readers.

This ensures every advertiser receives the visibility and value promised for their investment.
