309 helps Illinois State students meet people and find things to do. A small sponsor placement can introduce your café, shop, or public event to that community.
A simple beta sponsorship
One clearly labeled banner on discovery pages. No pop-ups or interruption inside conversations.
Contact the team to discuss your offer, dates, and a flat placement price. We review each sponsor before anything appears.
We don’t sell student profiles, conversations, or attendance data. There are no guaranteed impressions or results during beta.

Built for both sides of Normal.
Local businesses
Pizza places, restaurants, cafés, shops, gyms, entertainment, and public events that are genuinely useful to ISU students.
Every placement is reviewed, clearly labeled as sponsored, and linked to a real business or service. No behavioral targeting and no access to student data.
