ADVERTISING IN FAILURE

FAILURE: IT'S AN OPTION

Maybe you haven't considered it. But for those dedicated to innovation, it's more than an option, it's an unavoidable necessity.

WHAT KIND OF PERSON READS FAILURE?

PEOPLE WHO "do."
PEOPLE WHO "try."

Failure is for smart, ambitious, adventuresome men and women between the ages of 20 and 50 who enjoy investigating life and all its absurdities—the lessons learned, the battles lost and all the interesting stuff along the way.

If you have a message for the world, you want to reach the men and women who blaze the trail, not the ones who wear it into a rut.

We're heading into virgin territory and we're taking the leaders with us, the ones who turn a trickle into the mainstream. We figure that's who you are targeting as well.

THE PSYCHOGRAPHIC:

  • Educated
  • Ambitious
  • Adventuresome
  • Self-starters
  • Affluent or affluent-minded
FAILURE MAGAZINE IS FOR THE TRAILBLAZER . . .

. . . And so is our advertising.

What if you, your company or your product could have the flexibility and ease of print advertising combined with the interactivity of the Internet?

CONTESTS, GIVEAWAYS, BANNERS

At Failure magazine we do this and more. If you have an ad that has worked for you elsewhere, we'll be happy to run it. Or, we'll be happy to work with you to create customized opportunities that effectively and efficiently get your message across to our audience.

So whether you are new to Internet advertising or want to try a new groundbreaking approach, Failure can help.
