One Brand Week. Your voice all year.

Short answer: We come to you once per year, capture your story, and publish a complete “here’s who we are + how to take action” feature that stays findable.

Here’s what happens:

• One on‑site session (up to 60 minutes) at your location

• Published within 7 days:

  • 24+ enhanced photos (gallery‑ready)

  • 1 edited 60‑second highlight video

  • A published interview/story on HastingsNow

  • A search‑friendly Brand Profile (links, map, FAQs — the “can people actually find me?” page)

• Best pieces can be reused across HastingsNow formats (when appropriate) to keep your Brand Week doing work beyond the initial publish

Why owners like this: it’s not “one post.” It’s a durable, local, search‑friendly asset you can point people to all year.

Short answer: A Soundbite is a ≤30‑second voice update you record from your phone with one clear call‑to‑action button.

How it works:

• Unlimited Soundbites (record or upload)

• Each Soundbite includes one CTA you control: Call / Book / Donate / Learn more

• You can edit the title, transcript, image, and CTA anytime

• Your Soundbites appear on the Soundbites feed and on your Brand Profile

What to say (so you don’t repeat yourself):

• “What’s new this week?”

• “One helpful tip” (seasonal, practical, local)

• “One offer — with clear terms”

• “One community note” (supporting a team, event, fundraiser)

• “Weekend plan” (what you’re doing + how locals join)

Short answer: No — you don’t need to post daily.

A simple cadence that works for most partners:

• 2–5 Soundbites per week (that’s the sweet spot for staying present without becoming a full‑time content creator)

• Batch it: record 3 Soundbites in 5 minutes when you have energy, then post them across the week

• If you’re seasonal: post more during peaks, lighter during slow weeks — it’s flexible

(You’re already saying “2–5 per week” elsewhere — this just makes it feel like a relief, not a chore.)

Short answer: You’ll get simple signals that connect directly to action.

Light outcomes reporting includes:

• Listens/plays

• CTA clicks (the ones that matter: call, book, donate, learn more)

• Top-performing updates over time (so you can repeat what actually works)

This is a fit if you want: consistent local visibility without living on social media.

Common great fits:

• Restaurants, retail, auto, home services, fitness, clinics, real estate

• Nonprofits, sports teams, arts/music groups (sponsored spots available)

This is probably not a fit if:

• You want anonymous, mass‑market leads from outside the area

• You want “set it and forget it” marketing with zero updates ever

• You want visibility by outspending everyone else (that’s not the point here)

Short answer: You claim your spot, schedule your Brand Week, then you’re live — with an easy weekly rhythm.

Step‑by‑step:

1. Claim your Founding 52 spot (checkout takes a minute)

2. Schedule your Brand Week (first come, first served)

3. We do the on‑site session (up to 60 minutes)

4. We publish within 7 days

5. You post Soundbites anytime (we’ll provide prompts so it stays easy)

If you want a human walkthrough first: book a quick call (10 minutes) — we’ll answer questions and help you decide.

• Partner content is clearly labeled when appropriate

• Visibility rotates so no one brand dominates

• Editorial formats (like LOCAL 10) stay utility‑first — Soundbites can be featured when they’re timely/helpful, with fair rotation

• Your public policies live here: Trust & Safety and Provenance

• Can I sponsor a nonprofit/team? Yes — you can assign your spot to an organization.

• Will you post my Soundbite to social? Sometimes — when it’s timely and useful; no spam.

• What about regulated claims? Plain‑language, non‑misleading messaging; edits may be requested.

• What happens at renewal? Renews at the standard annual rate after Year 1 (see checkout).
