Advertise With Sixated
Reach an engaged audience of considered spenders — through display, sponsorship and newsletter partnerships that respect the reader.
Sixated reaches readers at the exact moment they are deciding what to buy, wear and try — an audience of deliberate, quality-minded spenders across fashion, beauty, wellness, home, travel and lifestyle. If your brand belongs in that world, there are a few honest ways to work with us. This page explains them, and the lines we will not cross.
Who reads Sixated
Our readers come to us for curation, not clutter. They trust our editors to shortlist the six things worth their attention, which means they arrive in a considered, ready-to-act frame of mind rather than idly scrolling. That intent is what makes Sixated a valuable place for the right brand to appear — and it is exactly why we protect the reading experience so carefully.
Ways to partner
Display advertising
Standard display placements across our site, sold to brands that fit our audience and values. Display ads are visually distinct from editorial and never interrupt or masquerade as our guides.
Sponsored content
Bespoke, brand-funded content produced to a high standard and clearly labelled “SPONSORED.” Sponsored content is held to our editorial standards for accuracy, kept visibly separate from our independent guides, and can never buy a place among a guide’s six editor-chosen picks. The full terms are in our Sponsored Content Policy.
Newsletter partnerships
Sponsorship placements within “The Sixated Six,” our weekly newsletter, reaching subscribers who opted in to hear from us every Sunday. Newsletter sponsorships are labelled and kept distinct from our curated editorial picks.
What we will not run
Our audience and our credibility come first, so some categories are simply off the table no matter the budget:
- No gambling, betting or casino advertising or partnerships, in any form.
- No cryptocurrency or speculative-investment promotion.
- No adult content.
- No paid links. We do not sell dofollow links or insert client URLs into editorial copy. Advertising with us is clearly labelled placement, never a link-buying arrangement.
We also reserve the right to decline any campaign — even in an accepted category — that conflicts with our standards, misleads readers, or does not fit the Sixated audience.
The one thing advertising can never buy
Our independent recommendations. Buying display, sponsorship or a newsletter slot does not earn a brand favourable coverage, a higher ranking, softer verdicts, or a place in a Top-6 guide. Editorial and commercial operate on opposite sides of a firm line, as described in our Editorial Policy and Ethics page. If your product appears in one of our guides, it will be because our editors judged it the best — independently, and on merit.
Why partner with a publication that says no
It might seem counter-intuitive to advertise with a publisher that turns categories away and refuses to sell links. But that discipline is precisely what makes the placement worth having. Because readers know our editorial cannot be bought, they extend more trust to the whole environment — including the brands that appear in it honestly. A recommendation platform that will run anything for anyone earns no trust to lend you. Sixated’s boundaries are not a limitation on your campaign; they are the reason a placement here carries weight.
How we work with partners
We prefer to build campaigns that genuinely fit our audience rather than bolt a generic banner onto the page. That usually means an early conversation about who you are trying to reach and what you want them to do, followed by an honest recommendation from us about which format — display, clearly labelled sponsored content, or a newsletter placement — is likely to actually work. If we do not think a campaign will land with our readers, we will tell you, because a placement that underperforms serves neither of us. Everything we run for a partner is compatible with the standards on this page and across our public policies.
