Work with us.
SLOW is a biannual print magazine celebrating slow living, thoughtful design, and the stories behind small brands and makers.
Each issue is carefully curated to feel timeless, tactile, and meaningful - designed to be kept, revisited, and displayed.
We offer a limited number of advertising and feature placements per issue to maintain the calm, editorial integrity of the journal.
Advertising with SLOW is not about fast impressions or fleeting clicks. It’s about being placed inside a carefully curated, tactile world our readers return to again and again.
Who This Is For
Our advertising and features are best suited to brands who value:
• quality over quantity
• storytelling over selling
• intention over trends
• connection over algorithms
Our readers are deeply engaged and genuinely support the brands we feature.
If that feels aligned, you’re in the right place.
