Nonprofit Advantage The Long Beach Post operates as a 501(c)(3) nonprofit with an educational mission, presenting opportunities to partner on grant-funded journalism projects, donor-focused campaigns, and sponsored content programs aligned with public-interest reporting. Their Salesforce-based CRM and digital stack can be leveraged to optimize donor engagement, membership growth, and impact measurement.

Local Market Leader As Long Beach’s largest newsroom, there is strong potential for hyperlocal advertising, sponsored stories, newsletters, and event partnerships that reach a highly engaged community without reliance on paywalls. Propose bundled sponsorships across lbpost.com, newsletters, and related platforms for cross-promotion.

Multimedia Expansion With new hires in audio and video journalism and a tech stack including Adobe Creative Cloud, there is demand for podcast and video series production, distribution, and branded content. Offer production services, distribution partnerships, and analytics-driven sponsorship packages.

Membership Growth The existing membership program shows openness to community-supported journalism; this is a ripe opportunity to offer membership growth services, CRM-driven onboarding, exclusive content experiences, and live events to deepen engagement and diversify revenue.

Community Collaboration Initiatives like the free micro-shuttle program indicate success in community-focused campaigns; propose co-branded campaigns with local businesses and transit-accessible events, grant-funded community programs, and sponsorship assets around transportation and urban development.
