Good to know

The questions we hear most from advertisers. Pick a topic to narrow them down.

Still have questions?

Ask us anything — we reply within 2 working days.

How are prices set?

Each placement has a flat rate per run — 1, 4 or 12 weeks. Packages bundle several placements at a discount. The full rate card is sent on request, usually within 2 working days.

Do longer runs or bundles cost less?

Yes. A 4-week run costs less per week than 1 week, and a 12-week run less again. Bundling placements in a package takes a further discount off, and agencies booking several clients can ask about volume rates.

What is the smallest booking?

One placement for one week. Most brands start with a Spark or Momentum package, then extend once they have seen the report.

How long until we go live?

Usually within 5 working days of approving the creative. Premium placements such as the hero slide have limited slots, so book them at least two weeks ahead.

Can we choose the exact dates?

Yes. Tell us the start date and we schedule around it — timed to a launch, a sale or an event. Runs start on the day you pick and end at the same time of day.

What if our plans change?

Tell us as early as you can. Dates can usually be moved up to 7 days before the start, and we will always try to find another slot before anything is lost.

What do you need from us?

A logo, a headline of up to ~90 characters, a 16:10 image, a link and, if you like, tracking parameters. Or take the creative design add-on and send just the logo.

Is sponsored content labelled?

Always. Every paid placement says “Sponsored”, and our editorial team stays independent of advertisers — we do not change coverage for a campaign.

Can we change the creative while it runs?

Yes. Momentum and Takeover include creative refreshes; on other packages a change is a small fee. New creative goes live within 2 working days.

Can you write or design the ads for us?

Yes. Our team designs banners and native cards to the exact sizes, and writes and publishes sponsored articles, videos and reels. See the add-ons above.

What reporting do we get?

Impressions and clicks for each placement at the end of the run, plus weekly snapshots on 4-week and longer packages.

Can we add our own tracking?

Yes. Send your link with UTM parameters and it is used exactly as given, so the traffic shows up in your own analytics next to ours.
