Editorial reviews & goes live
Our team reviews every submission before publishing. Most go live within two business days with specific feedback if anything needs a revision.
Who you are reaching
Gensa is built on 10+ years of Brooklyn Bridge Parents, the hyperlocal parenting publication that served Brooklyn families until 2026. Those readers, that editorial voice, and that neighborhood-by-neighborhood depth are the foundation Gensa is expanding city by city.
We are not a directory bolt-on and we are not a national aggregator. Gensa is the editorial platform parents trust to guide real decisions — a camp, a class, an after-school program, a weekend plan — so your business reaches them at the moment they are deciding.
Why Gensa?
Verified local parent audience
Every reader is here because they are a parent making a local decision — not an ad-targeted profile rented from a platform.
Editorial-adjacent trust
Your listing sits next to neighborhood reporting by editors who live in the community. That context compounds trust over time.
Neighborhood-level targeting
Go as narrow as a single neighborhood. Meta and Google will not match that granularity for a family audience.
Frequently asked questions
How much does it cost to advertise or list my business on Gensa?
Pricing depends on the product — listing, top banner, side ad, sponsored editorial, or social. We share full pricing after you sign up as a vendor so we can match you to the right format and neighborhood. Create a free vendor account to see rates, or email hello@gensa.family with your business type and we'll follow up.
Is it free to submit a family event?
Yes — if the event is free for families to attend, it is free to submit to Gensa. Paid events (ticketed classes, workshops, camps) follow our standard listing pricing. In both cases, our editorial team reviews the submission before it goes live.
How long does approval take?
Most listings and ads are reviewed within two business days. Our editorial team reads every submission before it goes live. If something needs a revision, we reply with specific feedback so you can update and resubmit.
What ad formats are available?
Top banner ads on high-traffic pages, side ads on content pages, business listings across our tiered plans, event submissions, and sponsored editorial or social posts written in our house voice. You choose the mix inside your vendor dashboard after signup. Top banner: 728 px wide × 90 px high. Side banner: 300 px wide × 250 px high. Images as JPG, PNG or GIF, up to 5 MB (animated GIFs welcome).
Can I cancel anytime?
Yes. Monthly subscriptions cancel at the end of the current billing cycle. Yearly subscriptions are not prorated — you keep access for the remainder of the year you already paid for, and the plan does not renew. Ads run for their booked flight and do not auto-renew without your confirmation. Email hello@gensa.family with questions before you commit.
