Greetings from Estes Valley Spotlight.
A sponsor-content section built to read like real local news.
BASE CAMP
The brief
Estes Valley Spotlight is the community and sponsor-content arm of Estes Park News — local business partnerships, mountain-shop accessibility programs, nonprofit initiatives. It needed to read as credible local journalism rather than an ad page, while staying easy for sponsors and partners to get featured in.
THE ROUTE
The approach
Modeled the section on a real newsroom feed — dated posts, categories for Featured Articles, Estes Park News, and RMNP News — so Spotlight stories sit naturally alongside hard local news instead of feeling bolted on.
