Put your brand in front of people who are deciding what to buy, what to use and what to trust. Most of our readers arrive through search, looking for an answer, so a piece keeps working long after the day it is published.
Three ways to work with us
Every package is produced by our own crew and runs across video, the site, the newsletter and social. Most partners start with the Review Desk Package.
- Spotlight. One produced short video, published on Reels, TikTok, Shorts and Facebook, with a mention in Insights by TechCity, our Sunday newsletter. Best for a launch or a first test with us.
- Review Desk Package. One produced YouTube video of five to eight minutes, a companion article built to rank, a short cutdown on four platforms, one Instagram carousel and a feature in the newsletter, with reporting at 30 days and again at 90. Best for a product people research before buying.
- Series Partner. Presenting partner of one of our series for three months: three videos, three articles and six shorts, a place in twelve newsletter issues, a Presented by credit on the matching section, and monthly reporting. Best for brands that want to own a topic.
Every package includes full production by our in-house crew, a clear sponsored label, a factual accuracy check on your product claims, and a publish date agreed at booking. Your piece is placed on the home page for 7 days and in its category for 30 days, and everything stays live for at least 12 months.

Banners
One advertiser holds each position at a time, and nobody else’s advertising appears in it while your booking runs. Banners are booked for 30 days.
- Run of site banner. In every article, after the opening paragraph of the first section.
- Category banner. On one category page of your choice: News, Reviews, How To, Stories or Analysis.
- Homepage banner. On the home page, below the lead story.
Every banner is labelled Advertisement and never appears above the first paragraph of an article. Each takes a standard size, so you can send what you already have.

What you get back
Views, clicks and click rate for every position you booked, by day, in one report at the end of the flight. Your links carry your own campaign tags, so you can follow readers on to your site in your own analytics.
What we do not sell
Coverage. You are buying placement, format and timing. You are not buying the verdict. Sponsored pieces keep their trade-offs section, and the final edit belongs to our editors. A partner can check facts before a sponsored piece runs and can provide assets, data and approved quotes. A partner cannot set the angle or the conclusion, ask for a trade-off to be softened, ask for the label to come off, or expect a commercial relationship to change how we cover their category. We only partner on products we would be comfortable reviewing honestly.
Terms
Payment is made in full before publishing. A booking is confirmed once payment clears and a publish date is agreed.
