Scoop.co.nz has just launched Section Sponsorships - the newest way for you to gain exposure for your brand to Scoop’s
high value audience of 500,000 monthly readers. We are offering our top performing ‘Business’, ‘Politics’, and ‘Culture, Education & Health’ Sections at really excellent rates. This sponsorship arrangement will also ensure the survival of Scoop’s vital
independent news service and infrastructure into the future.
This opportunity will give your organisation powerful and persistent exposure to Scoop’s 500,000 monthly readers, which
includes a high proportion of Professional readers and key decision-makers in the New Zealand Business, Politics and the
Culture/Social sector. This is a big opportunity for early entry into a sponsorship relationship with a pioneering and
ethical independent media brand with big ambitions to radically change the media landscape in New Zealand in 2019.
These packages are priced very reasonably, yet offer clients the following extensive value:
• Naming rights to the section on Scoop including prominent logo placement.
• “Business Section brought to you by [Insert your brand]”
• Up to 1 million Premium ads per year (300x250 size)
• Guaranteed exposure on Scoop’s front page (125,000 est. views per month).
• Section audience of up to 200,000 views per month.
• 2 x premium editorial placements per month supporting your brand and mission.
• A ScoopPro essential package featuring InfoPages + Newsagent services (valued at up to $3,000 per year).
By way of comparison with other independent newsrooms offering section sponsorships, with public stats sourced from
SimilarWeb, The Spinoff has almost twice as many monthly visits as Scoop does, and Newsroom has around two thirds as
many monthly visits as Scoop. This offer is a very cost effective proposition to be associated with Scoop and access a
lot of readers at a very affordable rate.
Our Mission
Scoop aims to increase access to digital ‘public interest’ news media and foster media literacy by enhancing the ability
