The Brief is a weekly email people signed up for. Not a scroll, not an algorithm, not an ad network. A newsletter they open on Friday morning because they trust it. Your ad is part of that.
Each format is clearly marked as sponsored. Placement, copy and suitability are agreed before publication.
The most prominent placement in the newsletter. A headline, a short description and a link — sitting in a clearly marked block that readers see every week.
There are a maximum of two banner slots per issue. Yours may be one of them. Slots are sold on a per-issue or multi-issue basis — get in touch to discuss.
Ideal for local businesses wanting regular brand presence with a consistent local audience.
A single curated link woven into the newsletter body. Short, punchy, clearly labelled as sponsored — but sitting within the flow of the content rather than as a separate block.
Works particularly well for time-sensitive offers, event announcements, or anything with a single clear call to action. High click-through relative to its footprint.
A short editorial-style piece written to match The Brief's tone — typically 80–120 words with your link included. Clearly marked as sponsored, but crafted to read like content rather than copy.
We'll work with you on the text to make sure it fits the format. Not because we're being precious — but because it performs better when it reads like The Brief.
Best for launches, openings, events or announcements that deserve more than a line. The deepest integration we offer.
We'll come back to you within two working days with availability, format recommendations and rate information based on the current subscriber count.
There's no obligation, no pitch deck, no automated sales funnel. You'll hear from a person.
