FAQ
Good to know.
How do I run ads on Roster?
Send us a note above. We'll reply with the formats and dates that fit your goals. Native ads will be self-serve soon, with checkout, so you can pick dates, upload your pictures, and go live on your own.
What do I get back?
Native ads come with impressions and clicks, by placement and day, as a CSV. We keep only daily totals and nothing about individual visitors. Newsletter and blog placements are reported by us when the campaign ends.
What does it cost?
It depends on the format and how long it runs. Tell us what you're after and we'll send options. We plan to publish set prices for native ads when checkout launches.
Who advertises on Roster?
Anyone who wants to reach designers and the people who hire them: design tools, fonts and assets, courses and communities, agencies, and hiring teams.
What are the rules?
Ads need to be relevant and honest to a design audience, and they're always labeled “Sponsored.” Sponsored links are marked for search engines. We may decline or remove anything that's misleading or doesn't fit the community.
