Reach one of the most dedicated strategy-gaming audiences on the web. CivFanatics has been the home of the Civilization community since 1999 — a highly engaged audience of 4X and turn-based strategy players who buy, mod, and obsess over strategy games. If you make a strategy game, this is your audience.
These sponsorships run on the main CivFanatics site (civfanatics.com) — our news, game guides, and reference hub — appearing in the sidebar across the site. (Advertising on our forums at forums.civfanatics.com is a separate option — see below.)
What you get
- A dedicated sidebar “Partner” spot on the main site — shown high in the sidebar across our news posts, articles, and game hub pages on civfanatics.com.
- A relevant, uncluttered placement — only a small number of hand-picked partners, never a wall of programmatic banners.
- A clearly labelled, brand-safe unit that our readers trust because we vet every advertiser.
Where your ad appears
Your ad runs in the right-hand sidebar across every page of civfanatics.com. The Featured spot sits at the very top of the sidebar — the first thing readers see — with the two Standard spots just below it.
