First of all, if you want to advertise to my audience, next to my thoughts, in 2026, I’m eternally grateful for you. These are the types of announcements best suited for this newsletter:
Job openings
Conference submissions or dates
Book launches
AICP, AIA, CNU, and other professional license trainings and meetings
Mapping software
Survey Software
However
Personal ads
Music and Theater Performances
Gallery Openings
Calls for Roommates
And other things will be accepted. Not accepted under any circumstance — MLM marketing and apps that are almost 100% AI. Also if your company has a history of discrimination of any kind, you will be rejected automatically and I'm happy to share with you why the ad was rejected if this is the reason its rejected.
These are text-based only and will run in my announcements section, under my own announcements and affiliate links.
Additionally, I also put a disclaimer that people should thoroughly vet these opportunities, and I reserve the right to reject advertisements and refund money if your advertisement doesn’t fit. Ads must be submitted by Saturday at 4 am Eastern time to be included in the following Sunday’s newsletter.
Now the rates:
One Week— $50
Two Weeks — $125
Three Weeks Bundle — $175
Five Weeks — $275
If you’re ready to submit, submit your ad of no more than 250 words and a link, and email it to what you are advertising.
Refunds, if necessary, will be issued no more than 5 business days from rejection.
Questions, email theblackurbanist@gmail.com. Note that ads submitted to this email will not be considered for running. I can and will accept ads only if you need said ad to be invoiced. Ads must come cut to 250 words or less or they will not be approved.
