Current Edition — November 2026 · Thanksgiving Special Edition
Advertising Media Kit
Louisville’s Lifestyle, Legacy and Real Estate Magazine
Keys and Kentucky Bourbon is a digital magazine for people who love this city — its homes, its bourbon, its tables, its traditions, and the businesses that keep Louisville moving. This media kit introduces the placements available to advertisers in our inaugural editions.
The Publication
Every edition moves through the departments our readers come back for — Real Estate Watch, Bourbon and Business, Culture and Community, Dining and Lifestyle, Lifestyle Spotlight, Racing and Events, and Louisville Greats. Your business appears inside that reading experience, beside the stories Louisville is already opening.
Readers following Louisville neighborhoods, market movement, and the path from dreaming about a home to holding the keys.
Distilleries, founders, and the craft and business of Kentucky bourbon — the spirit that carries Louisville’s name around the world.
Restaurants, lounges, Churchill Downs, and the events calendar that fills Louisville weekends for residents and visitors alike.
Local entrepreneurs, neighborhood institutions, and the Louisville greats whose work still shapes the city today.
Advertising Opportunities
Every placement is priced per edition on our published rate card below, so you can choose the position that fits your business — and we will match it to the right edition and department.
A full editorial-style profile of your business inside the department where it belongs — your story, your people, and what sets you apart, presented with the same care as our editorial features.
Display placements woven into the reading flow of the magazine’s departments, plus a position on the Business Card Showcase — our signature page of Louisville businesses, presented in gold on black.
A story your business sponsors — an opening, an anniversary, a craft worth explaining — produced to magazine standard and clearly identified as sponsored wherever it appears. Our readers’ trust is the product; we protect it openly.
The positions readers see first — cover-adjacent and contents-page placements — and recurring monthly advertising that keeps your business present edition after edition as the magazine grows.
