Advertising
The Harvard Crimson is the nation’s oldest continuously published daily college newspaper and the only daily publication of Cambridge, Massachusetts. We work with advertisers ranging from national companies to local businesses, from student recruiters to advertising agencies.
​
The media and advertising industry is a constantly changing landscape, and our business team is focused on innovative advertising solutions to stay ahead of the curve and deliver results to our clients.
Social media posts offer the most precise targeting of specific demographic groups within the Harvard community and beyond. Our sponsored social media posts can include posts to both Facebook and Instagram.
Our readers on social media share, comment, and tag other users in posts that they find engaging. Over 80,000 Facebook subscribers see posts from The Crimson’s page on their personal newsfeeds. The Crimson’s newsroom selects choice content to be posted every hour of the day, every day of the week.
With most of our undergraduates navigating to thecrimson.com through social media, sponsored posts are also one of the best ways to attract student pre-professional talent.
