Sponsor a fact

One sponsor per fact, in one card. No banner, no takeover, no second slot.

What you get

A card after the follow-up questions on the fact, where a reader has finished it and is deciding where to go next. Your image in a 3:2 box, your name, one line, and a link.

It belongs to the fact published that day, and it stays on that fact for twelve months. The home page moves on tomorrow; the fact does not. A year later someone arriving from a search result still sees it.

Three sizes

  • A factOne day's fact, and everyone who finds it afterwards.
  • A weekSeven facts in a row.
  • A monthEvery fact published that month.

Each fact keeps its sponsor for twelve months, so a week is seven facts for a year rather than seven days of exposure.

The rules

  • You have no say over the contentThe fact is written and checked before anyone knows who is sponsoring it. You cannot suggest a topic, review a draft, or ask for a change.
  • No sponsor on a directly related topicA solar company does not sponsor the day about space-based solar power. The card is an aside, not an endorsement of the fact or by it.
  • Nothing that follows a readerNo pixel, no script of yours, no redirect. A plain link, marked as sponsored. The site counts clicks on the card anonymously, through Plausible, the same way it counts visits, and nothing identifies who clicked.
  • The visual and the text are subject to approvalOne image and one line, in the format below. I can decline either without declining the booking, and I will say why.

Price

on request The audience is small and being built, so there is no rate card yet. Say which size you want and I will reply with a number and what is free.

The format is one image in a 3:2 box, a name, and one line of up to 90 characters. It is the same for everyone.
