The Buckeye Flame is Ohio’s only LGBTQ+ newsroom — the only source that provides trusted reporting with consistency and integrity for the LGBTQ+ community in Ohio.
In an era when LGBTQ+ people’s very identities are under attack from our state legislature, our readers value being informed and connected to businesses and service providers that are supportive of their rights, needs and circumstances.
By partnering with The Buckeye Flame, you’ll be tapping into an audience of consumers who are eager to support LGBTQ-inclusive companies that value them as customers.
Because we are a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, advertising with us gives you an incredible value while reaching a rabidly loyal audience.
Build Awareness, Reach Local Communities, Drive Conversions
The Buckeye Flame offers advertising opportunities in our weekly email newsletter, on our website and through both sponsored and branded content:
- Newsletter – Our weekly email newsletter, The Spark, lands in the inboxes of over 13,000 subscribers weekly, with an average open rate over 50%. Our newsletter ads take up more screen real estate than traditional web ads, allowing for custom content resulting in better engagement.

- Branded Content – This opportunity enables you to align your brand with in-depth reporting on a topic of deep interest to the Ohio LGBTQ+ community.
- Sponsored Content – Let us help you tell your story! With sponsored content, we’ll work with you to publish original content that invites customers to engage with your brand. Through educational and informational content shared on our website and social media, you will position your business as a trusted resource for Ohio’s LGBTQ+ community.
