Advertise with Design Stories
Design Stories brings service, idea, media and other designs from around the world to readers who are actively looking for good design, new ideas and the people behind them. If you want those readers to meet your work, your brand or your message, there are three ways to advertise with Design Stories.
- Advertise with Design Stories. Design Stories is part of the DXGN Design News Exchange Network, a group of publications covering design, innovation, architecture, technology, creativity and art related topics. Contact us to get started, tell us about your goals and your budget, and request our media kit.
- Win Juried Design Competitions. We pick a great number of the service, idea, media and other designs we publish straight from fair, ethical, international and juried design competitions such as the A' Design Award. For example, we often check the A' Design Award's Winner Registry to discover research, environmental enzyme machine, news channel rebrand, musical instrument, new consumption pattern and rotating multifunctional furniture.
- Advertise with Massive Outreach. Design Stories integrates the privacy-first ads of the Massive Outreach Ads Network. The Massive Outreach Ads Network is an advertising network focused on design, innovation, architecture and technology subjects.

Win Academic Design Awards and get featured on Design Stories
Design Stories is an editorial publication publishing good designs, superior products and projects worldwide with a focus on service, idea, media and musical instrument. The easiest way to get featured at Design Stories is to win a highly prestigious, international and meritocratic design accolade such as the A' Design Award. We generally feature A' Design Award winners, since they are selected by a grand jury panel of international design experts, scholars and professionals following an academic blind evaluation process. Moreover, the A' Design Award takes the necessary steps to obtain the required publishing rights from its laureates, so we can feature the works without worrying about intellectual property.
For the A' Design Award, we especially scout these award categories, from which we feature works:
- Meta, Strategic and Service Design – Design Strategy, Design Management, Service Design, Franchising Design, Strategic Design, Service Blueprints, Prototypes, Touchpoints and More.
- Idea and Conceptual Design – Innovations, Prototypes, Blueprints, Sketches, Models, Concepts, Brainstorms, Proposals and More.
- Digital and Broadcasting Media Design – Podcasts, Webinars, Infographics, E-Books, Social Media Campaigns, Video Advertisements, Digital Magazines, Radio Broadcasts and More.
- Musical Instruments Design – Guitars, Pianos, Violins, Drums, Saxophones, Flutes, Trumpets, Harps and More.
Typical entries that fit Design Stories include design strategy, innovations, podcasts, guitars, design management and prototypes, and many other kinds of work in the same spirit. The A' Design Award & Competition is open to all industries and especially welcomes service designers, idea designers, media designers, musical instrument designers, strategic design consultants, conceptual designers, broadcasting designers and industrial designers, as well as every other creator who has produced good design. If you are one of them, the registry is where our editors look first. Entries to the A' Design Award are judged anonymously by an international jury of academics, design professionals, journalists and entrepreneurs, on criteria such as innovation in service delivery, innovation potential, innovative conceptual approach, innovation in instrument design, user experience enhancement and originality of concept. Your A' Design Award win is therefore a credible signal for our readers as well as for us. According to the terms of the A' Design Award, eligible winners are not required to pay contractually obligated winner fees to claim the A' Design Prize, so there is no hidden price tag between your win and your feature.
