The Ultimate Guide to the South

Our driving force is to be the “Ultimate Guide to the South.”  So we’re constantly seeking out original, entertaining, and engaging content of all types that helps our fast-growing audience discover things that help them live their best lives here in the South.

We publish content in six primary categories:

Content is developed by a growing network of contributors all over the South, and published from our HQ in Franklin, TN just outside of Nashville.

Audience Overview

It’s early in the revival of the Y’all media brand, whose prior life was as a printed magazine.  Building on the base of social media and email connections remaining from the old printed magazine days, we breathed new life into Y’all as a digital lifestyle publication.

At this fast-growing early stage, trying to keep audience data up-to-date here on this page would be impractical.  But we’re always happy to share it with you upon request; just hit us up at [email protected] and we’ll send you the full media kit with the latest audience overview.

Here is an overview of our core audience target:

Advertising & Sponsorship Opportunities

This page contains an overview of various ways you can get involved as an advertiser and/or sponsor of Y’all.com.  We commonly customize these based on the unique needs and budget of each customer; our goal is to build long-term relationships with brands of all sizes.

We help build your business by connecting you with consumers who appreciate your Southern heritage, and desire to do business with brands like yours.

Our Unique Approach

Our unique approach to advertising partnerships on Y’all.com is based on the powerful combination of (1) content about you, (2) pushed to our audience via social media and email, and (3) display ads that make a specific offer of engagement once consumers have encountered the content and become aware of you.

We have found this approach generates and average of 6-8x greater total engagement than old-school programmatic buying.

In short, we create a friendly, trusted context for consumers — a place where they are accustomed to discovering new trends, news, travel ideas, restaurant recommendations, tips for living their best lives — and immerse your brand in that same context, so consumers feel comfortable engaging your brand here.
