Let us help get your story out there
Hello music makers, music lovers, and music enjoyers of all styles. We're a small online magazine that started back in 2017, right in the prairies of Canada. We're trying to stay afloat while providing fun, entertaining music content. To keep our content going, we've got to keep the lights on and the site running.
Sponsored content gives artists, bands, businesses, organizations and other creators an opportunity to share their story with the Switching Styles audience through paid promotional content. Switching Styles provides sponsored content (paid-for content from external organizations), sponsored links (hyperlinks within blogs paid for by external organizations), product placement (specific product ads throughout the site), and visual banner ads across the site. Depending on the package you choose, Switching Styles can create the content for you or publish content supplied by you.
All sponsored content is promotional in nature and is separate from Switching Styles' independent editorial coverage. Curious how we keep our content transparent? check out our sponsored content policy.
