Easy, if you are a new or renovating business or if you are doing something that will impact the city, then send us a brief description and photos of the inside/outside of the business to dawn@dmhughesmedia.com.

A. Advertisements and sponsorships help us defray the cost of running Developing Lake Charles.  They allow us to continue to do what we love, providing our readers the content they love, at no cost to our readers.  In addition to banner ads, we have 2 types of native advertisements.

Editorial Sponsorship
Editorial Sponsorships present content that is funded, but not influenced, by an advertiser.  The content is produced, written and edited by Developing Lake Charles to the same standards as all editorial content.

Branded Content
Branded Content is content that is funded by and created in collaboration with an advertiser. We work closely with our advertisers to help tell their brand story and message through our voice and platform. This content is produced by Developing Lake Charles and is required to adhere to our mission of informing local communities of new and exciting developments and projects.

A. No. We are a group of like-minded individuals that love to promote the development & growth of Lake Charles.
