THESignature Talk
Advertise With Us

Reach the people who book the stage.

The Signature Talk is read by the planners, organizers, and committees who decide what happens on stage. Advertising is labeled as advertising, always, and it never buys editorial coverage.

Placements

In the magazine

Full-page display in the issue, including the premium positions after the cover and facing the features. Every placement is identified as advertising on the page.

Department sponsorship

Sponsor the Booking Brief, the Planner's Toolkit, or Signature Talks in Motion for an issue. Sponsorship is labeled, and the department's editorial calls stay the editors'.

The newsletter

The Mic list and the monthly Top Talks brief go to planners and subscribers between issues. One sponsor per send, identified at the top.

Sponsored content

A contributed piece, clearly marked as sponsored, held to the magazine's factual standard: claims sourced, no borrowed authority.

Advertising packages

Four ways in, priced per issue. Buy online and your advertiser record opens automatically: you pick the issue, upload your artwork, and give us the destination URL your ad clicks to. Custom and annual sponsorships are quoted by the desk instead: use the Request a Proposal form below.
