Swift Developments is a growing publication distributed to over 1800 developers every week. Each issue contains a hand-curated collection of articles, links, videos and commentary from around the Swift and iOS development community. Examples of previous issues can be found in the archives.
Sponsorship Opportunities
Each issue of the newsletter has two types of sponsorship opportunity available:
Sponsored Links
First there are a maximum of two sponsored links available within each issue. Sponsored links feature prominently toward the top of each issue and are clearly marked in a separate section under the title “Sponsored Links”. These links work particularly well for getting your products and services noticed by subscribers.
Job Links
The publication also has up to two job links within each issue. Job links are included towards the end of each issue and are clearly marked within a separate section of the email under the title “Jobs”. These types of link are particularly useful for advertising vacancies within your organisation to subscribers.
