    FY17 Cooperative Partnership Opportunities To sign up, visit: traveliowa.com/coop This is a unique opportunity to promote your destination The digital world continues to expand and diversify and so does the variety of advertising opportunities. As described in this packet, the Cooperative Partnership Program now includes digital billboards, multi-page print, music management platforms, Google Ad Words, travel websites and much more. The Program continues to embrace new opportunities while maintaining a presence in traditional favorites. The Iowa Tourism Office annually invests more than $500,000 in the Cooperative Partnership Program, negotiating the purchase of large advertising buys and then selling that space back to our tourism partners at a cost far more affordably than what they could purchase directly. In addition, the Cooperative Partnership Program allows the Iowa Tourism Office to diversify its audience and gives the industry a range of advertising choices. The program is truly a public/private partnership that extends the reach of Iowa’s travel message and gives the tourism industry a chance to be a part of Iowa’s broader marketing efforts. Print ads for the Cooperative Partnership Program feature a high-resolution photo from the partner, website, phone number and a reader description. Digital and out-of-home ads vary based on the platform. Partners have the opportunity to proof all ads before they go to print or go live online.

More than ever, corporations are expected to step up, whether it’s contributing to the elimination of social injustices that have plagued our country, keeping employees safe and healthy during the COVID-19 Pandemic, or fighting to curb global greenhouse gas emissions. Meredith has heard that call, and the many actions we are taking across the social responsibility spectrum are outlined in this report. We recognize the need for our business to be socially responsible, as well as a competitive and productive player in the marketplace. Just as we are devoted to providing our consumers with inspiration and valued content, we want them to feel great about the company behind the brands they love and trust. At Meredith, we promote the health and well-being of our employees; implement continuous improvements to make our operating systems, products and facilities more environmentally friendly; and take actions to create a just and inclusive environment for all. The social justice events of 2020 have brought diversity and inclusion to the forefront for many people both personally and professionally.
