The Hackaday readership is loyal to the DIY aesthetic and is highly interactive online. Advertisers have a unique opportunity to present their brand differently, perhaps with a slight twist that will appeal to this enthusiastic community.

Specifications & Requirements:

Please note - We no longer accept flash files due to Chrome’s blocking of flash. You can however use animated gifs and html5.

Recommendations:

  • Development kits and tools are ideal for this audience who may not be as well-versed as professional engineers.
  • This is also a great place to advertise webinars, videos, or events as this community is highly
    engaged in learning new things.
  • There is more leeway here for creative design in the banners as this group gravitates to a more aesthetic look rather than just all technical and it will feel more native to the Hackaday background.
