Spotlight, for software and data vendors
A labeled slot on the Buyer Guide to your category, your own vendor profile, and presence on the analyses whose decisions your category supports. 5 slots per guide across 50 guides, $999 a year, charged only after an editor approves.
Introductions, for consulting firms
Buyers describe a problem in a short brief at the foot of a hiring guide. An editor reads every brief and offers it to up to three vetted firms. A firm pays $499 only for a brief it accepts.
Executive Forum, for people who have made the call
The Executive Forum publishes pieces by executives, consultants and vendors who have been in the room for the decisions we write about: what they weighed, what they chose and what they would do differently. Membership is by application, and we accept only people with a decision worth telling.
- Every piece is edited to the same standard as our own, and we may decline any piece.
- Each one is labeled as a member contribution, with the author's name and role.
- No product pitches. A piece earns its place by what a reader learns from it.
$1,000 for the first year, 3 pieces included
Each further piece that year is $350. Nothing is charged until we accept your application.
Sponsorship
For a sponsorship beyond these, tell us your audience, budget and dates. We say yes only where it fits what our readers came for, and paid content is always labeled.
What payment never buys
- Coverage. Every relevant vendor is named in our guides for free.
- A change to what we write about you, your competitors or a company.
- A ranking, a verdict or an unlabeled mention.
