Why advertise on JENIUS?
JENIUS covers the spectacular culinary adventures of a Sydney Gen Y. We are in our forth year of blogging and have since built up a loyal readership of over 20,000 unique visitors per month. Our readers are predominantly young professionals who are passionate about cooking, dining, travel and photography.

Advertising on JENIUS will give you a multitude of advantages:

• It is effective word-of-mouth marketing. Readers recognise that there's a real person behind the the stuff they read and hence place more value on trust.
• It gives you access to a high volume of targeted traffic and even allows you to link back to your website, improving both your link popularity and search engine rankings.
• If you honestly have a shit hot product / brand / service / restaurant, then advertising on this blog will result in a boost of awareness as well as an increase in positive testimonials.
• It is more affordable than advertising on any other channels and isn't expensive to trial. Your ad will also be surrounded by dynamic contextually relevent content.
• We guarantee that a review of your product, service or event will be indexed, archived and deep-linked.
• You'll be working with an ex-advertising executive who has over 5 years of experience in the digital media industry. Jennifer, the food blogger behind JENIUS has extensive experience with brands such as 20th Century Fox, Lipton, Bushells, National Geographic Kids, Kellogg and Vodafone and has worked with the very best at leading agencies Eyeblaster, RMG Connect and Soap Creative. She is an analytics and documentation guru who you'll find to be truly diligent, creative and passionate about translating your needs into an effective ad.

Product reviews
JENIUS loves being surprised with new products, whether it's something edible, a new kitchen gadget, a cook book or something useful like cutlery or tableware. Please email us for our mailing address. While we may accept to receive your product, it is not a guarantee that we will do a written review. To maintain our reader's interest, we will only write about products which are relevent, interesting and preferabably slightly quirky.

We also offer sponsored product reviews. Please keep in mind that we are 100% transparent and will always write honestly, including both the negative and positive aspects. We will also disclose that it was a sponsored (paid) post. However, sponsoring a review does come with its advantages. We guarantee to include all justifiable mandatories (for example, your logo, your tagline or a link to your website) as well as a detailed post including a set of screenshots (if we are reviewing an e-product) or photographs which you can review prior to the post going live. We charge based on a low cost per unique. Email us to discuss your requirements further.

Advertising
Display advertising can be a very powerful marketing mechanism. Your ad will be placed within contextually relevent content that is unique and updated frequently. Our blog is a personal relaxed reading atmosphere which means that your ad will be far more effective than if you were to advertise on any other channels. We take both static and animated image-based banners as well as standard and rich-media flash creative. Most of our banner spaces sit above-the-fold, ensuring eyes are always on you!

We have a range of banner sizes including the featured marquee, which is a massive 960x330 at the top of all pages (this can be bought as a homepage takeover or as a run-of-site), 468x60 banners, 728x90 leaderboards and various 300x250 medium rectangles. We charge based on a low cost per unique. Email us to book your space.

We also have connections to a dynamic group of freelance designers who can help produce your creative. Email us to discuss further.
