About Once Upon a Hill’s readership:

  • 44%: Average newsletter open rate

  • 3 in 4 subscribers are women or identify as a person of color or LGBTQ+ person and is either a millennial or from Gen Z.

  • 7 in 10 subscribers say Once Upon a Hill is their preferred political news source. One in two of those subscribers say it’s their only source for political news. In other words, the most engaged OUAH reader will unlikely see your brand in any other publication you work with.

  • Once Upon a Hill is read in 48 states and 61 countries and overlaps with other influential newsletters, including Heather Cox Richardson’s Letters from an American (over 1,500,000 subscribers), Jedd Legum’s Popular Information (over 331,000 subscribers) and Phil Lewis’s What I’m Reading (over 22,000 subscribers), which feed new, qualified subscribers into OUAH’s community.

  • Best of both worlds: In addition to OUAH’s core audience of election-deciders, culture-setters and social leaders, the newsletter is also subscribed to and read by members of Congress and their aides, former Obama and current Biden administration officials, strategists, operatives, and advocates who want to make sense of the issues that matter to readers. Your sponsorship extends to this influential group as well.
