Three easy steps for advertising in One Day:

1 Review the ad sizes, prices, and issue below.

2 Reserve ad space in One Day by e-mailing Alicia Quillen for ad size availability. Once size and issues are confirmed, please send a check or credit card form to Alicia Quillen by the space reservation deadline listed below. We cannot process your request without a check or credit card payment. You can fax forms to: 212-279-2668. Please e-mail Alicia to let her know prior to faxing.

3 Be sure to provide your agency / designer with the Ad Spec Sheet, which contains all of the design requirements and submission instructions for your ad. The designer must follow the Ad Spec Sheet when creating the ad.

Important Deadline Policy
Since the magazine is produced on a tight deadline, please make every effort to ensure that you meet the materials deadline for the issue requested. If for any reason you are unable to meet the deadline, please contact Alicia Quillen immediately to discuss an extension (not to extend beyond five business days past deadline). If we do not receive your ad within five business days, we reserve the right to cancel your space in the magazine without a refund.

Note: To maintain the high quality of the magazine, we prefer that all ads be professionally designed. If you need a recommendation for a designer, please contact Kristin Walsh. One Day reserves the right to reject ads on the basis of content and/or quality. In addition, per correct branding please instruct your designer to capitalize the “F” in “Teach For America” if the organization is mentioned within the ad.

Thank you, and we look forward to working with you!
