Don’t get fleeced.

What’s keeping you up

Put your spreadsheet out to pasture.

One sponsorship a month is a spreadsheet problem. Twenty is an operations problem — and that is where revenue quietly leaks out while you are not looking.

A spreadsheet per advertiser

Rates in one tab, the run schedule in another, and the real answer somewhere in your sent folder.

Creative buried in email

Assets arrive as attachments, revisions arrive as replies, and nobody is sure which file is final.

Inventory sold twice

Without one calendar per placement, the same slot gets promised to two advertisers in the same week.

Invoicing by memory

A booking runs, and chasing the payment depends on someone remembering that it ran at all.

Lose the spreadsheet, not the sleep.

For sponsors — buy newsletter ads

Find the right audience. Book it on the spot.

Publishers list what they have — primary slots, classifieds, dedicated sends — with real rates, real specs and a real calendar. Search it, filter to your audience, and book the slot you want. No introductory email, no rate-card request, no waiting on replies.

  • Filter by channel, category, audience size and next opening
  • No wool over anyone’s eyes — rates and creative specs published up front
  • Availability comes straight from the placement calendar, so it is never stale

For newsletters — sell ad space

No wolves in sheep’s clothing.

Every booking arrives with its creative attached and already checked against the spec you set. Approve it, send it back with a note, or reject it — and keep the whole exchange on the booking instead of buried in your inbox. Advertisers see the same thread, so good creative clears fast — and your inventory is watched even when you are not.

  • Create your brand and list ad placements
  • Set frequency, creative specs and direct-buy pricing
  • Review and approve every advertiser’s creative before it runs

Sponsorship reporting

Know exactly where revenue stands

Booked revenue, fill rate and deal size update as bookings move through the pipeline — so the number you quote at the end of the month is the number the system already has.

Illustrative data shown. Figures and publisher names are examples, not customer results.

Pricing

We get paid when ewe get paid.

No subscription. No listing fee. No setup fee. Nothing at all for the sponsor intelligence. The only money that changes hands is a commission on a booking that actually happened — so a quiet month costs you nothing.

The newsletter sponsorship platform

The best system – baa none.

Schedule & bookings

A real calendar per placement — direct buys and multi-issue packs, with sold-but-unscheduled inventory surfaced automatically.

Creative approval

Every ad is reviewed. Publishers approve, edit, or request changes; advertisers respond — a full back-and-forth, tracked.

Bellwether Intel

See which sponsors run where across the newsletters we monitor, how much reach they buy, and who to pitch next. 100% free.

Roles & oversight

Separate publisher and advertiser dashboards, plus a super-admin view over every account, brand and booking.

Creative specs enforced

Dimensions, copy length and file limits are set per placement, so what an advertiser uploads already fits the slot.

Invoicing & payouts

Bookings become invoices without re-keying. Payment status sits on the booking, where everyone can see it.
