What we allow, what we don’t, how we review, and how billing works.
Content Guidelines
Atlanta Koreatown is read by families. Creatives that don’t fit the magazine’s tone or our community standards are rejected on review — we’ll help you revise, or refund any prepayment for that placement.
Allowed
- Korean restaurants, cafes, bakeries
- Korean and Asian groceries / specialty retail
- Local services: clinics, dental, optometry, chiropractic, law, accounting, real estate
- Recruiting / staffing and employers hiring locally
- Educational services: Korean-language schools, tutoring, music / art classes
- Cultural events: concerts, festivals, gallery exhibitions, churches (events only, not proselytizing creatives)
- Community-relevant brands: Korean media, beauty, fashion, electronics
Not Allowed (creative will be rejected)
- Alcohol — beer, wine, soju, makgeolli, cocktails, drinking culture, ABV mentions, "drink pairings"
- Tobacco — cigarettes, cigars, vapes / e-cigarettes, hookah, chewing tobacco
- Cannabis / marijuana / CBD-as-recreational
- Gambling, sports betting, lottery promotion
- Adult content, dating apps targeting affairs, escort services
- Get-rich-quick schemes, MLM recruiting, crypto airdrops
- Predatory financial products (payday loans, debt-buying)
- Political campaigns and electoral advocacy (talk to us separately — different terms apply)
- Anything that misrepresents itself as editorial content, looks like a fake notification, or hides the brand identity
Image Guidelines
- Design service
- Banner design is included with every plan — desktop + mobile responsive. You can supply your own artwork or let us design it.
- File formats
- JPG, PNG, WebP, or SVG. No auto-play video.
- Resolution
- At least 2× the rendered size on retina displays. Sharp text, no compression artifacts.
- Aspect ratio
- Matched to the placement (see the ad kit for sizes per position).
- Branding
- Brand name or logo clearly visible. No fake UI chrome (false buttons, fake notifications).
- Color tone
- Recommended: cream/beige/dark green/white palette to match the site. Highly saturated banners read as noise.
