2 Strategic Features A strategic feature is an opportunity to utilise Fairfax journalists to create a tailored, editorially relevant environment which you can benefit from by advertising within. Wholly underwritten reports: As the client the cost to you pays for our writers to produce editorial regarding a certain theme/topic/subject. The cost to you covers hard costs as well ie paper and production. Standard ratio of 60% editorial and 40% advertising. You can utilise all advertising space at no extra charge. Partially underwritten reports: As the client you bound to pay a negotiated sum. Thereafter you may hand over a list of your partners/sponsors/supporters/suppliers, which we contact and try to sell advertising space to on your behalf. Any advertisement space taken will reduce your monetary commitment to us. Fairfax are not responsible for selling any set level of advertising.
