Downtown Winston-Salem Guide - 2009
AKA Entertainment & Media, in collaboration with the Downtown Winston-Salem Partnership is
publishing the first "Downtown Winston-Salem Guide", which will implement a collective strategic
marketing plan to aggregate all of downtown's commercial districts into one full-color guide for
downtown workers, residents and visitors. The project will be underwritten entirely by advertising
dollars. Distribution is scheduled for December 2008.
Unlike the citywide guide distributed primarily to out of town visitors, our downtown-centric guide is
more effective in reaching downtown workers and city residents who are most likely to become repeat
customers. We strategically distribute them in the best locations to reach those people. The result is
that all downtown businesses benefit, not just eating establishments.
Please take a moment and review our online information to determine whether or not an advertising
presence in the 2009 Winston-Salem Downtown Guide would be a good investment for you.You are
also welcome to call Scott Ballard at 919 606-3104 for an in-person meeting about the guide.
