1) Weekly News: The Collective
The weekly Codrops Collective features the latest news and resources from the web design & development community. It has become a very popular reading list for many. It gets sent out as newsletter and published on our site. Previous advertisers include Squarespace, Hired, FullStory, ClubHouse and many more.
In the newsletter, your item will be placed right after the site of the week and in the on-site publication in the top row of our Collective issue (labeled “From Our Sponsor”).
Assets:
- Image (600px width and maximal 400px height)
- Title (max. 60 characters)
- Description (max 260 characters)

As an alternative to the main sponsorship, we offer a very accessible option for community-relevant projects and startups. With a short sentence in the email introduction we spread the word about your work or project to our frontend audience.
Get in touch if you’d like to sponsor the next Collective or spread the word about your startup!
