Reach the founders, engineers, investors and operators who decide what gets built and bought.
Banana Media Network covers technology, AI, blockchain, startups and the business behind them, published from Metro Manila and read well beyond it. Our readers come to us because we get to the point. If those are the people you are trying to reach, here is how to work with us.
Ways to work with us
Newsletter sponsorship
A clearly marked placement in our newsletter, reaching subscribers who asked to hear from us. One sponsor per send, so your message is not competing with three others.
Display advertising
Standard placements across articles and section pages, available direct or through programmatic partners. Viewability and click reporting included.
Sponsored content
An article written to your brief and published under a clear Sponsored label. We will tell you honestly if an angle will not land — a piece nobody finishes is not worth either of our money.
Event partnership
We run a full events platform with registration, approval and door check-in. We can list and promote your event, co-host it, or handle registration end to end.
Podcast sponsorship
Pre-roll or mid-roll placement read by the host, in front of an audience that chose to listen all the way through.
Something else
Research reports, roundtables, launch coverage, category takeovers. Tell us the outcome you need and we will tell you honestly whether we can deliver it.
Who reads us
We send current audience figures with our rate card: subscriber count, monthly readership, newsletter open rates, and the breakdown by role, seniority and country.
We would rather give you real numbers, under NDA if you prefer, than publish rounded ones that flatter us. Ask and you will have them the same week — our week is Monday to Friday, Manila time (UTC+8).
How we handle advertising
- Every paid placement is labelled. A reader can always tell what was paid for and what was not.
- Advertisers get no say in editorial coverage. Buying an advertisement does not buy an article, a favourable review, or the removal of an unfavourable one.
- We turn down advertising that would mislead our readers. Including yours, if it came to that.
Our masthead says Peel Beyond the Surface. Question Everything. A reader who believes we mean it is worth more to you than one who does not, which is why the three rules above are the commercial case rather than posturing. An audience that trusts us is the entire product, and it is what you are paying for.
Our Editorial Policy sets out the rest, and our Corrections Policy is how you check that we hold to it.
Let's talk
Send us what you are trying to achieve, your timing, and a budget range. We will come back with a rate card and a straight recommendation — including if we think you would do better elsewhere.
Monday to Friday, 3pm to 10pm Manila time (UTC+8) — seven slots a day, hourly from 3pm to 9pm. Pick any slot at least three days out and the invite will carry a Google Meet link. The times you see are shown in your own timezone, not ours.
That reaches [email protected]. We work with advertisers anywhere; rates, currency and payment terms come with the rate card.
Press releases and story pitches go to our contact form instead, under a purpose that is not Advertising — those reach the newsroom. Editorial and commercial are separate here, and that separation is the point.
