Advertise With Research Marketing
Research Marketing offers brands, agencies, platforms, and service providers a direct route to a professional audience: the marketers, media professionals, researchers, and business leaders who read our coverage of marketing, advertising, media, consumer insights, digital, business, and technology every day. This page describes our advertising positions, our non-negotiable labelling policy, and how to enquire. Rates are quoted individually in response to enquiries; no prices are published on this page.
Advertising Positions
- Header billboard: Our premium position at the top of the page, served in 970×250 (large billboard) with responsive fallback to 728×90 (leaderboard). This is the highest-visibility placement on article and section pages.
- In-article units: Display units placed within the body of articles, positioned so they are visible to engaged readers without interrupting the flow of the story or imitating editorial content.
- Sidebar units: Persistent placements in the article sidebar, suited to campaigns that benefit from repeated exposure alongside related coverage.
- Footer placements: Site-wide units in the footer area, suited to broad-reach branding and event promotion.
Positions may be bought individually or in combination. Availability varies by section and date; current availability is confirmed when you enquire.
Sponsored Content and Labelling Policy
Sponsored content is welcome on Research Marketing and is governed by a simple, absolute rule: it is always labelled. Every sponsored placement carries a prominent “Sponsored” disclosure, is visually distinguishable from newsroom journalism, and never appears under a reporter or Staff Reports byline. We do not publish unlabelled paid content in any format, including articles, briefs, listings, interviews, or reviews. No advertising or sponsorship purchase buys, implies, or influences news coverage, story selection, framing, or rankings. Our newsroom and commercial operations are separate, and both our Code of Ethics and our Terms of Service restate this separation. Advertisers who require unlabelled placement should not enquire; we will decline.
Advertising Standards
All creative is reviewed before it runs. Advertising must be lawful in the markets where it appears, must not imitate editorial layout or bylines, must be identifiable as advertising, and must not make claims the advertiser cannot substantiate. We may decline or remove advertising that is misleading, infringing, or inconsistent with these standards, and we may label advertising further where clarity requires it. The presence of an advertisement on this site is not an endorsement of the advertiser or its products by the Research Marketing newsroom.
How to Enquire
Advertising enquiries can be made through the advertising route described on our Contact page, or by post to Research Marketing, 1411 N Sterling Ave, Palatine, IL 60067. Please include your organization, the positions you are interested in, your preferred dates, and your campaign objective. We normally respond within three business days with availability and an individual quotation.
Research Marketing is a 24World Media publication. Advertising sold across multiple network publications is coordinated at network level, but every placement on this site is governed by the labelling and standards rules stated here.
Audience and Measurement
Our readers are working professionals in marketing, advertising, media, research, and adjacent business and technology roles — the people who plan campaigns, buy and sell media, commission research, and choose the tools the industry runs on. Campaign delivery and placement performance are reported transparently for each booking, and we will describe our current measurement methods in our reply to your enquiry. We do not publish audience claims on this page that we cannot substantiate at the time of booking.
