Over the last 18 months, Rise Collaborative has released three issues and nearly 30,000 copies of No Boundaries, our print publication that covers the people, neighborhoods, challenges and successes often left uncovered by traditional media sources in an around Buffalo. In the name of cultivating empathy through story telling, we’re upgrading to a new magazine format as the publication continues to grow. 

We wanted to add a stronger visual component to the stories we’re sharing, and a matte finish, perfect bound, 72 page magazine will allow us to better incorporate photography and illustration from local artists with more vibrance and clarity than ever before. 

We’re adding more pages in order to tell stories in more visually creative ways, and to welcome additional sponsors at a lower price. 

Our target audience is your target audience. No Boundaries is FREE and delivered to every neighborhood in the city, and the first and second ring suburbs. Our readers prefer to eat, drink, and shop local, and in a print magazine, your advertisements have their undivided attention.

Learn about how our ad prices have been lowered, and perks have been extended. 

We’re accepting advertising creative until the end of June 2018. Contact our team at hey@risecollaborative.com with questions or orders.
