Each series is usually related to a special event or hot news item, which is featured in the newspaper for several weeks and links are sent by the e-Blast to registered users as a debut.

The AFRO’s Digital Board Network (DBN) is our new digital out-of-home opportunity (DOOH). DOOH advertising includes any paid media displayed publicly on screens outside the home. Unlike traditional advertising, DOOH supports dynamic creativity and features advanced technical capabilities like targeting, measurement, geofencing marketing, and programmatic activation. THE AFRO DBN is powerful because it reaches a targeted local market currently in these ten locations in Zone 1 Owings Mills/Randallstown with more areas to come:

  • Chizel It Fitness
  • Wylie Funeral Home
  • Elite Import Auto
  • The Purple Flip
  • Hue Cafe & Apothecary
  • Don Tigre Mexican Restaurant
  • Barberbred
  • Pikes Diner & Crabs
  • Max &Co. Salon Hair Loss Center

Advertising with the Afro-American Newspapers is the most effective way to reach the greater Washington and Baltimore African-American market.

Each week, more African Americans turn to the AFRO over any other media as a source of Black news. With a variety of print and online media offerings, the AFRO provides several ways to engage this target market.
