Sponsor placements · Brand partnerships

Three placements. One dual-team wire.

BrickbatDesk is a Chicago-only, dual-team newsroom covering the Bulls and White Sox on one wire. The Newsletter Presented-by slot, the Watch Spot, and the per-game recap placement put your brand inline with the recap surface the readers actually open — the dispatch email they read every morning and the recap page they click into every night. No fabricated subscriber counts — what you buy is placement shape and dispatch cadence, described honestly.

Three packages

The same three placements. Pick the one your flight fits.

Every package places you on the wire’s recap surface. The Newsletter Presented-by slot anchors the front; the Watch Spot closes it out; the recap placement rides the per-game recap page. Pricing is bespoke — the desk replies with a current quote against your flight dates.

PACKAGE 1

Newsletter masthead · nightly anchor

Newsletter Presented-by slot

Branded block under the masthead of every nightly recap dispatch — the first thing the reader sees after the header.

Newsletter slot — preview

Today’s presenter

SponsoredPresented by Acme Sports Co.

Acme Sports Co. — pre-game tape + recaps, every night.

Placement

Branded "Presented by" block threaded above the recap section of every nightly recap dispatch email.

Cadence

Every dispatch the desk ships — the same nightly window as the recap digest, anchored under the masthead.

What you provide

A name, a tagline (one short clause), and a destination URL. The desk wires those into the dispatch shell.

What the desk produces

The recap wire renders itself around your block — you sit inline with the recap content for every dispatch in your flight.

PACKAGE 2

Recap callout · nightly closing slot

Watch Spot

Sponsor callout at the tail of every nightly recap dispatch — the last thing the reader sees before clicking through.

Tonight's Watch Spot — preview

Sponsor callout

SponsoredTonight's Watch Spot

Watching the Sox tonight? Brickbat readers get 15% off with code WIRESOX2026.

Placement

Sponsor callout block at the very tail of every nightly recap dispatch — the closing slot before the footer.

Cadence

Every dispatch the desk ships during your flight window — same nightly window as the recap digest.

What you provide

A short headline, a single promotional line, and a destination URL — the callout reads like a sponsor note, not a banner.

What the desk produces

The recap digest renders itself with your callout as the natural sign-off — readers see it after the recap body, not above it.

PACKAGE 3

Per-game recap · single labeled placement

Recap placement

A single labeled sponsor block at the top of the per-game recap page on /recap — the surface the reader lands on after the recap wire.

Placement

A single labeled sponsor block at the top of the per-game recap page on /recap — the surface a reader hits when they click into tonight's recap.

Cadence

One block per recap page during your flight — buy one game, one series, or one homestand; the block rides that exact recap page.

What you provide

A name, a single promotional line, and a destination URL — the block lives above the recap-by-recap body, not interrupting it.

What the desk produces

The recap page renders itself around your block — the recap body sits below; the block is the opener the reader sees first.
