The Publication

Six stories. Five minutes. Every weekday.

Placements

Two ways to reach the Brief.

Placements are performance-based and limited each month. You're sold on guaranteed unique clicks, not impressions, and our in-house writer crafts your ad to match the Brief's voice so it reads like part of the day's brief, not a banner.

I.

Primary

The headline sponsorship, placed high in the Brief. A dedicated write-up with your brand and a call to action, written to land like part of the day's read.

II.

Secondary

A shorter placement lower in the Brief, in the "In Case You Missed It" slot. Ideal for a focused offer, a launch, or a repeat touch.
