Reach South Florida where it reads
Gold Coast Wave is the health, wealth and lifestyle publication for Palm Beach, Broward and Miami-Dade. Your brand runs inside the site itself, beside the local stories readers came for.
A publication that is only local
Gold Coast Wave launched in October 2026. We will publish audience figures here once we have a full month measured, and we will never round them up.

Built into the page, not bolted on
Every placement is served by goldcoastwave.com itself. Your creative loads with the page and sits inside the reading experience. Here is how the positions look on the page.
Two artwork sizes cover every position. Placements rotate, so one buy appears across many pages instead of being fixed to one.
Pick your presence
One square
A 1:1 card inside the article grids readers browse, the sponsor rows and the side rail.
- Homepage, category and archive grids
- Desktop and mobile, one creative
- Real impression and click counts
A banner and a square
The banner runs in every wide position and the square in every square one, so you appear in both.
- Under the lead story, inside articles, above the footer
- Wide and square positions in one campaign
- Real impression and click counts
Your story, told properly
A full feature written with you, in the same format as our editorial and always labeled as sponsored. It keeps its own URL and stays in the archive after the campaign ends.
- Written with our team, approved by you
- Clearly labeled, which readers trust
- A permanent home in the archive

Before you buy
How quickly can a campaign start?
Usually within a few business days. Once your creative is approved it goes straight into the live rotation. Sponsored articles take a little longer since we write them with you.
What reporting do I get?
Real numbers from our own ad system: actual impressions served and actual clicks recorded on goldcoastwave.com. No third-party trackers and no modeled estimates.
Can you make the ad for me?
Yes. Send your logo and the essentials and we will design the placement with you. You approve everything before it runs.
Is sponsored content labeled?
Always. Every ad carries a Sponsored label and every sponsored article says so plainly, which is why readers trust what they see here.
What can't be advertised?
Anything misleading. We review every campaign before it runs and do not accept claims a business cannot stand behind.
