MEET WHALEBONE.
Born and raised in the East End of Long Island, Whalebone
is a new breed of culture and lifestyle brand, stemming from
the local heritage and culture that we want to celebrate and
highlight. Whalebone was designed to connect with a younger
and extremely influential audience who, with their shorter
attention spans and higher expectations, must be talked
to in a different way. Whalebonew understands this modern
audience and delivers a submerssive experience that blurs
the lines between digital, social, experiential, print and events.
Were inviting you to join us. Welcome to Whalebone.

OPPORTUNITY
There is a change happening in the media landscape. Its actually
been happening for some time, however no media brand has been
able to fully capture this change in an engaging and impactful way.
Gone are the days of traditional marketing in a sense of heres my
product, whats the marketing mix? New generations have been
conditioned by technology to have a short attention span, be educated,
knowledgeable, and have been able to get what they want, when they
want it since they could walk. They prefer to be spoken to, engaged
with, and to get involved in the story of a brand. That is why we apply
a dedicated submerssive media approach. We have proven that our
audience is craving an innovative, millennial-focused media outlet
that embraces the pride and lifestyle of coastal communities, while
delivering content in a way that is pleasing to both the eye and soul.
The new rules [of marketing] will only raise the bar for
bad advertisers to make things that people will actually
care about and want to engage with. Its bad news for
garbage ads and good news for good creative.
- Goodby Silverstein & Partners Head of Brand Strategy
The same way we say that plants are indigenous to their
region, content must be native to its environment. Trying
to shoehorn bad ads into a journal is like trying to grow a
palm tree in the Arctic.

MAGAZINE
An intuitive approach to modern
media consumption habits. Its a
printed magazine designed to speak
like friends, look like art, and read
like social media.
SOCIAL MEDIA
Adoption. Engagement. Reach.
EXPERIENTIAL/EVENTS
Whalebone does more than throw one hell of a party.
DIGITAL
WAYS TO ADVERTISE:
Whalebonemag.com
WHALEBONEMAG.COM
Whalebones intuitive approach to digital media is a based around the simple fact that our audience doesnt go on the
Interwebs, they live there. Whalebonemag.com is a must-read resource for daily curated content, as well as sponsored articles,
gear guides, surf and fishing reports, and the most comprehensive and unique digital media approach offered in our area.
Whalebones intuitive approach to digital media is a based around the simple fact that the traditional approach to
digital advertising is antiquated. Ad servers and banner ads do not work. Across all ad formats and placements Ad CTR is
0.06%. So, this is less than 1 click per 1000 impressions. Often these ads are obtrusive and eject a user from their desired
experience. Thats not very good. We produce highly engaging custom content that matches the goals of our clients and
stays consistent with the style/design the viewer is interested in.
We create custom submerssive ads that live across web, eNewsletter and social. This is done through a simple process
involving our team and the brand and most importantly, it works.
MILLENNIALS AND MOBILE
Millennials are the supreme mobile users, spending 15 hours per week on their phones
31 percent say they do most of their online browsing on their phone, rather than a computer or other device
The value of native advertising worldwide is expected to almost double over the next three years, rising
from$30.9bn in 2015 to $59.35bn in 2018.
Over half of all mobile searches lead to a purchase.
Mobile native advertising performed as much as 10 times better compared to mobile display advertising at similar
frequency, and we are pretty confident its the future.
51,046 unique visitors to whalebonemag.com since launch on May 1, 2015
31.5% open rate on weekly eNewsletter (8.4% click thru rate) - 2K+ subscribers
MAGAZINE
With six issues released March through November, Whalebone Magazine is the
most unique and engaging approach to a print publication thats out there. (Oh,
and its freakin free!)
Millennials are part of the first generation that has been able to fast-forward
through commercials; and they apply that mindset to most advertising they are
presented with. At Whalebone, we understand that no one buys a magazine
for the ads, rather for the experience behind the brand and the content that
comes with that experience. Our groundbreaking approach to creating a fully
submerssive print reading experience for our audience, has led the movement for
creating an environment for our readers where they engage with brands rather
than just skipping right over them. 54% of our readers actually prefer a brand
after seeing them in Whalebone.

PRINT SPECS
PLEASE NOTE: THIS IS NOT AN AVERAGE MAGAZINE, THIS IS WHALEBONE.
our print ad space is done differently than other publications. To integrate your brand as
naturally as possible, we often create custom space around our editorial content that is equal to or greater than
the space listed below for our advertisers. This space may sometimes be in a slightly non-traditional shape, but
will get our advertisers noticed much more than a traditional print ad.
Important: We may use the proposed ad that you provide as is, but it is more likely that we will create a custom ad that fits
the space you purchase as well as the aesthetic tone of our publication. This is why Whalebone ads are more effective than
other publications; we make sure the ads are something our readers will enjoy and engage with, not something they will
automatically skip. Should you not have a print ad available, Whalebone will create one for you, no extra charge.
