What working with Sixated involves
Sixated publishes fashion, beauty, wellness and lifestyle guides built on the idea of six curated picks per article. When a brand works with us, we help you reach the readers already browsing those guides in a way that is honest, useful and clearly signposted. That might be a display campaign, a sponsored feature written to our standards, a disclosed product spotlight, or a longer-term partnership across several of these. Whatever the format, the commercial side sits alongside our journalism rather than inside it: readers always know when something is paid, and our independent recommendations continue to be made on merit alone.
We start every relationship with a brief. Tell us who you are trying to reach, what you want them to do, the products or collections involved, and your timing. From there we suggest the format and placement that fits, share current availability and rates, and agree how the work will be labelled before anything goes live. We would rather recommend the smaller, better-targeted option than upsell you into something your audience will not notice.
Because our coverage is planned around seasonal moments in fashion, beauty and lifestyle, timing matters. A launch, a collection drop, a gifting season or a sale each has a natural window, and campaigns tend to work harder when they align with the content readers are already seeking out. We are happy to plan around your calendar and flag the moments where a placement is likely to land best.
Who we work with
Our commercial partners are fashion, beauty and lifestyle brands, retailers and marketplaces, plus the media and PR agencies that represent them. That includes emerging labels launching a first collection, established houses supporting a seasonal drop, beauty and wellness brands introducing a product, and retailers promoting an edit or sale. If your audience overlaps with style-led readers and shoppers, there is usually a sensible way to work together. We keep categories we cannot responsibly cover off the table, and we will tell you plainly if we are not the right fit.
Fashion advertising options
On the paid-media side, fashion advertising with Sixated can run as on-site display placements, seasonal campaign takeovers around relevant guides, and newsletter or social amplification where available. We favour formats that respect the reading experience: fewer, better-placed units rather than clutter. Because our content is organised around curated picks, campaigns tend to perform best when they sit near genuinely related coverage. Full specifications, positions and availability are set out in the media kit — request the media kit and we will match options to your budget.
Beauty brand partnerships
Beauty brand partnerships go a step beyond a single placement. These are collaborations — a sponsored series, a disclosed spotlight tied to a launch, or an ongoing programme across the season — designed around your products and our readers’ interests. A partnership can combine several formats, but the rules do not change: everything is labelled, claims stay within what can be substantiated, and a partnership never buys its way into our independent editorial picks. That boundary is what makes a feature on Sixated worth having.
Beauty is a category where trust is fragile and easily lost, so we are careful with it. We keep claims measured, avoid the language of miracle results, and make sure any before-and-after or performance point is something the brand can support. Handled this way, a beauty partnership does more than fill inventory — it lends your product the credibility of appearing beside coverage readers already rely on.
How our reader relationship protects your campaign
Readers come to Sixated for opinions they can act on, which only works if they trust that our recommendations are honest. Protecting that trust protects your campaign too: a labelled placement next to credible, independent coverage carries more weight than the same message somewhere readers have learned to ignore. We keep the paid and the independent clearly separate, disclose every commercial relationship, and decline work that would mislead. It is a slower way to build a media business, and a far more durable one for the brands beside us.
What we will not do
To be clear about the boundaries: we don’t sell undisclosed or disguised paid links, we don’t let payment or gifting decide our editorial picks, and we don’t publish claims we cannot stand behind. A gifted product is welcome for honest consideration, but it never guarantees a place in a guide. If a request needs any of those lines to be crossed, we will say no — and that same discipline is exactly why a placement here is credible.
How to start working with us
Getting going is straightforward. Send your brief through our contact page or email partners@sixated.com with your goals, the products or collections involved and your timing. We reply with suggested formats, current availability and the media kit, then agree scope, labelling and schedule before publishing. If you are still comparing options, our advertising, sponsored content, get featured and partners pages explain each route in more detail.
Pricing and media kit
We price by scope, format and placement rather than a single flat fee, because a one-off placement and a season-long partnership are very different jobs. Tell us what you have in mind and we will share current rates and turnaround. To see specifications, positions and options in one place, request our media kit.
Why trust Sixated
Sixated is an independent fashion, beauty and lifestyle publication run by a named editorial team working to published standards. You can read more about us, meet the people behind our picks, and review our editorial policy and review methodology to see exactly how our six curated picks are chosen and tested. Any commercial relationship is set out in our affiliate disclosure, and every paid or gifted placement is labelled in line with the FTC endorsement guidelines. Our picks and recommendations are never for sale, and a gifted product never guarantees a spot in our guides.
