2025 'Explore Nearby New York' Multimedia Marketing Initiative

Target New York State Fair Visitors with Advance Media NY Travel & Tourism and NYSTIA

The New York State Fair is iconic and a summer go-to for many consumers from both New York State and neighboring states and provinces. When it comes to content and information about the Fair, Syracuse.com has become and remains the #1 content source for all things State Fair.

In 2024, 1.4 million page views were recorded on the site, reflecting audiences from all 50 states and over a dozen nations. In fact, the New York City Metro was the #1 source of page consumption for New York State Fair information. Imagine seeing dozens of ads from New York State tourism destinations whenever New York State Fair content is being consumed!

Advance Media NY Travel & Tourism and NYSTIA are partnering to offer NYSTIA members an opportunity to take advantage of this incredible audience with ad placement adjacent to /embedded in NYS Fair content.  Participating destinations’ advertising will run in rotation.

What a prime audience to encourage readers to visit now or visit later…On their way to the Fair or on their way home from the Fair… Or invite them to visit later this Fall.

The Fair coverage will start several weeks prior to opening day and will wrap up just after Labor Day, allowing your campaign to run for up to 30 days.

Start date on or after August 6 through September 5. Act now!
