Advertising Opportunity for Calumet Businesses

An Exclusive Opportunity for Village Businesses
The Village of Calumet and the Downtown Development Authority (DDA) are excited to announce a unique marketing opportunity available exclusively to businesses located in Calumet. 
WLUC TV6 has selected Calumet as the next community for its brand-new "Around Town" promotional campaign, a regional advertising initiative designed to showcase the places, people, and experiences that make Calumet a destination.

As part of this pilot program, TV6 is seeking a small group of Calumet businesses to partner with the DDA in launching the campaign. This is a rare opportunity to gain extensive television and digital exposure at a significantly reduced introductory rate.

Here is a clip of Around Town Gladstone, so you can see what TV6 is planning for Calumet. TV6 Around Town: Gladstone uncovers the Upper Michigan hidden gem. Around Town Calumet will be a 30-minute TV show that will air on Upper Michigan Today in November and will be aired across our streaming app, TV6+.  All advertising will run in November and December. 

What is "Around Town"?
The "Around Town" advertising campaign features professionally produced 15-second television commercials highlighting participating businesses and the vibrant experience of Calumet. These commercials will air multiple times daily across TV6's news programming and receive additional digital exposure through TV6's streaming platform and website.
