Advertising and sponsorship
Put your business behind local sports.
Keystone Clutch Sports covers Western Pennsylvania high school sports, starting with Lawrence County and reaching across Beaver and Butler counties and the rest of the WPIAL. We also follow the college and pro teams local fans care about, including the University of Pittsburgh (Pitt) Panthers, Penn State, Duquesne, the PSAC and the Steelers. Local businesses and organizations can support that coverage and show up alongside it, always clearly labeled and always separate from our reporting.
Editorial independence
Sponsors never decide or preview our coverage. Our editors choose what we cover, who we feature and how we report it, whether or not a business sponsors us.
Ways to sponsor
Game Night sponsorship
Support our Friday night coverage: the game-night pages fans check for matchups, kickoff times and final scores. Your business is identified as a sponsor on those pages with a clearly labeled ad, kept apart from the game information. The sponsorship doesn’t change which games we cover or how we cover them.
“Presented by” the Friday prediction poll and Tonight hub
Put your name on two game-night features: the Friday fan prediction poll and the Tonight in Local Sports hub. Each can carry a one-line “Presented by” credit for your business. The credit never appears inside scores, start times or broadcast links.
School Page sponsorship
Back the school and team pages where families and fans follow a program’s schedule, results and stories. Sponsor ads appear in labeled ad spaces on the page. They never use the school’s logo or name in a way that suggests the school endorses you, unless the school has given permission.
Clutch Performer sponsorship
Support the feature that recognizes standout performances by local athletes. Your business is identified as a supporter of the feature. Our editors still choose every Clutch Performer, and sponsors have no say in who’s picked or what we write.
Rates: Rates and options are shared on inquiry. Tell us what you have in mind and we’ll reply by email.
How sponsorship works
- Editorial independence: Sponsors never decide or preview our coverage.
- Clear labels: Every ad is labeled “Advertisement.” Any paid content is labeled “Sponsored” and kept separate from our news coverage.
- No pop-ups, autoplay or ads over video, rosters, schedules or standings.
- School and team logos: Sponsor ads can’t use school or team logos without the school’s permission.
- No promises we can’t keep: Sponsorship supports our coverage. We don’t promise or guarantee results, reach or exposure.
