Who is looking: Penn State students, young professionals, and the 100,000-plus visitors who fill the town on game weekends, all actively deciding where to go tonight. This is high-intent traffic. People open Nittany Nights to make a plan, not to scroll past an ad.

No contract, cancel anytime. Paid monthly through Stripe. Every venue in town is already listed at no cost. Sponsorship simply buys prominence and a guaranteed position.

Presenter Placement

What a Presenter looks like

A Presenter gets two spots every night, both circled here in the app: a "Brought to you by" credit in the day header, and a branded strip in the middle of the listings, right where people scroll.

A presenter placement in the Nittany Nights app, with the day-header credit and the mid-list sponsor strip marked
1Day-header credit. "Brought to you by you" beside the date, every single day.
2Sponsor strip. Your logo, tagline, and a tap-through button, set mid-list among the venues.
  • Your logo and tagline, set between venue cards where every scroll passes.
  • A one-line pitch for your services or offer.
  • A tap-through button (Book, Order, Shop) straight to your site.
  • Marked "Sponsored," so it reads as a local partner, not an ad.
  • $50 a month. The most affordable way for a non-venue business to reach the going-out crowd.
  • Both placements refresh nightly with the day, so your brand rides along with fresh content.

Example shown: The Whiskey Barber Salon, a past presenter.
