Partnerships
Partner with Connect Business
Align your organization with Southern Minnesota’s business authority.
Connect Business serves the leaders shaping Greater Mankato and the nine-county region: owners, executives, board members, investors, and decision-makers influencing how this region grows.
Why Partner with Connect Business?
Attention is fragmented. Credibility matters. Regional leadership is built over time. Connect Business keeps your brand close to the people who are actually making decisions in Southern Minnesota.
- Business owners and operators
- Healthcare and manufacturing leaders
- Financial decision-makers
- Economic development professionals
- Public and private sector executives
- Regional investors and civic leaders
When you partner with Connect Business, your brand is embedded in the regional business conversation, not placed beside it.
Partnership Opportunities
Newsletter Sponsorship
Own high-visibility placement in the bi-weekly Connect newsletter and stay in front of a business-first audience on a recurring basis.
Category Alignment
Support coverage adjacent to the industries and topics that best match your organization and the audience you want to reach.
Podcast and Interview Support
Align with long-form conversations, executive storytelling, and regional thought leadership through podcast sponsorship and related content opportunities.
Roundtables and Strategic Features
Participate in high-trust business conversations and clearly labeled strategic content programs built for sustained visibility rather than one-off impressions.
Partnerships are structured, limited, and category-exclusive where appropriate. The goal is sustained alignment with organizations that are serious about the future of Southern Minnesota.
Editorial Independence
We do not guarantee clicks.
We do not sell influence over editorial coverage.
We do not flood the platform with rotating banners that weaken the reader experience.
Our partners support the platform. They do not dictate coverage.
