(Crystal A. Proxmire, Oct. 2, 2019)
Oakland County, MI- As the Nov. 5, 2019 Election Day draws near, there are a few updates about the work we’re doing here at Oakland County Times.
1 -The video process is going well this year. There are about 30 more videos to edit and our goal is to have them up by Oct. 15. As we get closer to the end and know how much time we’ll have, we will reach out to those who weren’t able to make it in for filming yet.
2 -Candidates who wish to buy an ad can let us know by 5pm on Oct. 5. We are only offering the $95 for ten placements basic ad package unless you live in SE Oakland County where you also have a 20 placement option with the premium banner for $150. Ads will go on posts for your city, so not only is it a great way to reach voters, it helps give your city more coverage. If interested, message editor@oc115.com.
3 -Candidates for 2020 are welcomed and encouraged to consider buying a one year ad package to help solidify name recognition in the places you’d like to reach. Buying now also means you get 2019 pricing.
4 – We are not yet filming 2020 candidate videos because we are still looking for a sponsor. Please feel free to recommend this opportunity.
5 – We are looking for a sponsor for this project. Funding would enable us to get more videos done and produce them faster. The sponsor’s ad will be on every video and election related story. The cost is $4,500.
