How to work with a tool sponsor

Keep paid placements clear and useful to your audience.

Agree on the deliverable

Define the format, placement, dates and review process. Distinguish a paid promotion from an independent product assessment.

Show the actual workflow

Use a representative example, state the relevant plan and avoid repeating claims you have not verified.

Label the relationship

Make the paid relationship easy to recognize. Keep claims accurate and keep the audience’s task central to the content.

Report what happened

Share agreed metrics such as views, clicks or signups with their measurement window. Avoid presenting estimates as guaranteed outcomes.
