Advertise on Layers
We are looking for a handful of advertisers who make things designers actually want. Here is the audience, and how it works.
Layers is read by designers, in the place they go to look at design work. An ad here is a card in the layout, sold by us — not a slot resold by an ad network, and not a pop-up.
Who reads it
Product and interface designers, mostly, with a long tail of illustrators, type people and design engineers. They are here to look at work, which means they arrived voluntarily and are paying attention. Those are the two things a display network cannot sell you.
What an ad is
- An image, a headline and a link. No scripts and no iframes.
- Reviewed by hand before it runs. We are picky on purpose — a page carrying four ads is worth nothing to the fifth advertiser.
- Counted openly. Impressions and clicks are on your own ads page, from the same numbers we see.
Interested?
The Advertise page has the detail and the form. We would rather hear from ten companies that fit than a hundred that do not.
