Sponsors
Sponsors are local venues paying for visible placement on Rusty's Happy Hour. We help them get in front of locals who are actively choosing where to go right now — without burying organic listings or compromising the editorial line.
Example placement
A sponsor card sits beside organic listings and always wears the SPONSORED tag. Here's the format:
How sponsorship works here
- Sponsors get a clearly-labeled placement next to organic listings. We don't bury the "sponsored" tag.
- No pay-to-rank. Your spot on the venue grid is determined by distance, filters, and live-now status — same as everyone.
- No fake reviews, no astroturfed comments, no shadow boosts.
- Sponsorship covers the bills that keep this honest — AI research tools, hosting, and the time it takes to find and verify real happy hours across the DMV.

Email warsignallabs@gmail.com with what you have in mind. No pre-set tiers — we'll build something that fits your venue and our editorial line.
