Founding Partners
Six categories. One partner each. For the launch year — with the editorial firewall stated in public, not buried in a rate card.
The Digital Chief is funded commercially. We would rather say that plainly and publish where the line sits than pretend otherwise and let readers guess.
The offer
What partnership does not include
It does not include editorial review, story placement, veto over coverage, or access to subscriber data. Sponsored material is always labelled as sponsored and is never presented as reporting. If we cover a partner, we disclose the relationship in the piece.
All of this is written down in the advertising, sponsorship and affiliate policy, alongside our editorial standards. Those documents govern the commercial relationship, not a private side agreement.
Who this suits
Organisations that want to reach senior digital and marketing leaders and are comfortable being associated with coverage that grades its own evidence and publishes its own corrections. If you need editorial control, we are the wrong publication and we would rather say so now.
Talk to us
Founding Partner positions are open ahead of the first issue on Monday 19 October 2026. Use the contact form and select the commercial enquiry option, and we will send the category list and terms.
