Our readers not only have powerful spending habits, they will be the next generation to buys cars, clothing, accessories, furniture, vacations, sporting goods, food/beverage and more. Scruff Magazine will have an influential readership: they are all in college students and lead very aspirational lives.

CREATING A BRANDED EXPERIENCE

Let’s face it. It’s great when everyone is at an event and your product or banner is front and center. But after the event has faded and everyone has gone home, we continue to keep a dialogue with our audience as we publish event photos of our activities and contest winners. 

We maintain coverage in the social networking scene by keeping up appearances in FaceBook and MySpace as well as keeping our site up-to-date with all of our event coverage and content from the magazine as well.

Scruff Events

EVENTS, APPAREL, FILMS
Scruff entertainment will produce numerous events on and around the campus so students can get comfortable with our brand. We can extend that branded experience with our own Spring Break trips to Mammoth Mountain, Tahoe and Lake Shasta. We will also offer our own line or thought provoking apparel available through our website. Plus, we will support student films by putting together a student film competition with one of the major Hollywood studios. It’s going to be a fun year, hop on.

SPONSORSHIP OPPORTUNITIES

ADVERTISING
We love ads. But we encourage our advertising partners to help us create a more emersive brand experience than just running an ad in our magazine. We host numerous events and produce music compilations, students films, fashion shows, art festivals, sporting events and more. Your sponsorship of these events will allow you to get closer to your target market.


SPONSORED ARTICLE
Yeah, we admit it... if you want us to feature your products in an article we would be more than happy to oblige. We support like-minded products: fashion, beverage, lifestyle, sports, travel and products that appeal to our core demographic. We also love sponsors for our events who also give us lots of swag/product to distribute at our events. Check out the chart on advertising and sponsorship to see where your product might fit it.


SPONSORED EVENTS
We host and sponsor numerous events throughout the school year, including art and fashion shows, concerts, snowboarding trips and sporting competitions. Sponsorship allows us to put on a quality event and showcase our participants in proper “Scruff” mode.



SPONSORED GIVEAWAY
We give away everything from skateboards, condoms, apparel, snowboard trips and vehicles. Your contribution to these giveaways will allow our Scruff constituents to experience your products face-to-face, creating an army of brand advocates who will love and honor thy product.


BUSINESS/PRODUCT PROFILE
Raise the profile of your business by submitting a profile for inclusion on our magazine/website. Simply call one of our producers and we’ll review your company or product in our next issue.


EVENTS - CALENDAR LISTING
Listing your event on our calendar is absolutely free! All you need to do is contact us with the details on your event.


LOCALS spoken here!
One of our core philosophies is the importance of community. To this end we are offering any local business extremely favorable rates to appear in the magazine and sponsor our events. A very limited number of opportunities are available so please don’t wait.

Who the hell is Scruff?

Okay, okay, we’re just a bunch of college kids. But we have a passion for telling stories and making things happen on and around our campus. We want to add value and memories to the college experience and let’s face it... we want to be famous. Our staff consists of writers, photographers, videographers, journalists, interviewers, party producers, event coordinators and stage personalities. 

Hey, someone’s gotta grab the mic and introduce Snoop!
