Your Team and Ours

When you advertise with The Ithacan and become a client, your satisfaction is our priority. All clients have the option to get paired with an advertising sales representative and a graphic designer. Both are there to assist you in making sure you are satisfied with your ads. Our representatives are there to provide you with assistance for you when choosing the location of your ad as well as which size may fit your needs. Additionally, our graphic designers are available to either make your ads for you (free of charge), or consult with you when making an ad.
