A growing audience of local parents served through two distinctly local publications: Macaroni KID Hershey & Harrisburg and Macaroni KID Carlisle & West Shore.

Use this directory to find the category that most closely matches your goals. Each overview below leads to a dedicated page with specific opportunities, deliverables, pricing and availability.
You do not need to decode the entire media kit alone. Tell me what you offer, who you hope to reach and what you want to accomplish, and I will help point you in the right direction. Email Rachael.
These premium, carefully limited relationships are designed for organizations seeking sustained visibility, meaningful community integration and a clearly defined leadership position within the Macaroni KID ecosystem.
Put your organization behind a major Macaroni KID resource, publication feature or family experience through a high-impact sponsorship built around shared goals.
Become the official Corner Partner within an approved industry and help provide dependable, useful information families can return to throughout the year.
Protection applies to the specific official designation, Corner and deliverables included in the agreement. It does not create publication-wide industry exclusivity. Other businesses within the same industry may still advertise, promote events, participate in premium campaigns or appear through inventory controlled by Macaroni KID’s regional or national teams.
These renewable options are designed for businesses and organizations that want families to see, recognize and remember them throughout the year rather than during one short promotional burst.
Combine consistent visibility with opportunities for useful content, local collaboration and ongoing connection with Macaroni KID families.
Choose individual or bundled placements across the channels families use to discover local resources, plan their weeks and decide what to do next.
Most ongoing partnerships and advertising options can be built for Hershey & Harrisburg, Carlisle & West Shore or both publications. Availability and pricing depend on the selected audience, inventory and package.
Build visibility around one event, season, family decision or important business moment. Each campaign has a clear purpose and timeline, with options available for Hershey & Harrisburg, Carlisle & West Shore or both publications.
Move beyond an ordinary calendar listing with guaranteed newsletter, website, social and storytelling opportunities designed to help local families discover your event.
Place your business inside long-lasting resources that families use when they are actively comparing programs, planning experiences and deciding where to spend their time and money.
Connect with families during the seasons when they are making timely plans, searching for solutions and looking for memorable ways to celebrate together.
Join larger Macaroni KID-created experiences that combine digital promotion, community participation, family engagement and memorable real-world moments.
Give an important business moment enough room to become a story. Milestone campaigns combine coordinated promotion with useful context that helps families understand what is new and why it matters.
That is completely fine. We can combine compatible elements or build a custom campaign around your audience, timeline and goals. Start a conversation with Rachael.
Not every relationship begins with a traditional advertisement. These selective collaborations are built around firsthand experiences, clearly defined exchanges and genuinely useful stories for local families.
Invite Macaroni KID to experience your attraction, destination, restaurant, service, class or event firsthand, creating the foundation for authentic storytelling and original content.
Tickets, accommodations, services, products or experiences may sometimes be exchanged for specifically agreed-upon promotional deliverables when the collaboration provides mutual value.
Local experts, organizations and community voices may contribute interviews, educational resources, guest content, timely information and stories that help families feel more informed and connected.
Hosted, barter, sponsored and other material relationships are disclosed appropriately. Macaroni KID retains editorial control so published information remains accurate, authentic and useful to families.
A marketing budget is not required to share genuinely useful local information. We offer several no-cost ways for businesses, organizations and community members to submit opportunities for editorial consideration.
Free submissions are reviewed according to local relevance, usefulness, editorial fit, available space and production capacity. Submission does not guarantee publication, newsletter inclusion, social promotion, placement, timing or attendance.
Explore Free Ways to PartnerDoing important work for local families, but marketing dollars are understandably scarce? Through the Village Builder Program, Macaroni KID donates in-kind marketing packages to selected nonprofit organizations, charitable initiatives and community programs.
Village Builder grants help meaningful organizations reach the families who need them without requiring funding to be diverted from their missions.
Donated packages are customized according to the organization’s needs, geographic reach, timing and available inventory. Support may include articles, newsletter visibility, social promotion, event promotion or other appropriate marketing services.
Village Builder support consists of donated marketing services, not cash funding, and does not guarantee attendance, fundraising results, registrations, clicks or outside media coverage.
