DID YOU KNOW?

UC Tampa Magazine serves South Tampa and five other major downtown centric areas within Tampa’s city limits. We’re also 100% locally owned and independently produced, unlike other magazines, such as South Tampa Magazine, which is produced by a joint venture that includes Virginia-based Media General (NYSE: MEG)*—the same corporate giant behind The Tampa Tribune.

So the next time you look to invest your hard-earned ad budget, we hope you’ll think “UC Tampa” first, knowing that as we promote your local business, your ad dollars aren’t headed to Virginia or the bank accounts of stockholders.

For rates and more information on how to advertise in UC Tampa, call (813) 389-8116 or email ads@UCTampa.com.

*South Tampa Magazine is produced by Rain Publishing Group—a joint venture between Media General and Fourthdoor Creative Group. UC Tampa Magazine proudly has no affiliation with either.
