Small team, scalable Hillsdale Daily News operates with a lean team (2-10 employees), indicating a potential need for outsourced or cost-effective advertising, marketing automation, and vendor partnerships that deliver high impact with minimal internal resources.

Local reach leverage As a localized newspaper in Hillsdale, MI with revenue in the $1M-$10M range, there is opportunity to offer targeted local advertising packages, community engagement campaigns, and sponsorships that amplify visibility within the Hillsdale region.

Tech stack synergy Current tech usage includes Amazon Advertising, Taboola, The Trade Desk, Simpli.fi, email and CRM tools (Mailchimp, Amazon SES, Microsoft 365, DocuSign), suggesting opportunities for integrated ad tech solutions, cross-channel campaigns, and streamlined digital marketing workflows.

Content + audio expansion Recent launches of Hillsdale Strong, plus multiple podcasts from Hillsdale College, indicate a growing content and audio strategy. This creates cross-promo, sponsorship, and monetization opportunities for ad slots, branded podcasts, and subscriber growth campaigns.

Strategic partnerships With ties to local institutions (Hillsdale College, Hillsdale Hospital, libraries, school boards) and a history of community engagement, there is potential to pitch partnership programs, community campaigns, and targeted sponsorships that align with civic and educational initiatives.
