Role boundary
Patron accounts are intentionally separated from contributor and seller pathways to prevent editorial-commerce conflicts and keep trust boundaries clear.
Patrons can use subscriber/community features plus campaign operations, but cannot become contributors.
Where to start
Advertising options, package specs, and onboarding entry points are maintained on the dedicated advertising page.
Prefer full-service advertising support?
Some advertisers prefer not to operate campaign tools directly. If you want dedicated ad sales support, you can work through a sales agent and keep communication email-first with scheduled calls when needed.
Self-serve patron workflow
Create an account, review ads, approve creative, and track billing directly in-platform.
Full-service with a sales agent
Use the contact form instead of signup. A sales agent will respond by email and schedule phone calls as needed after email contact is established.
