Advertise with us
Autonomous Systems Review is read by engineers, technology buyers, utility executives, investors and policymakers. No consumer traffic, no clickbait — a professional audience with procurement authority. We are a new title, and we publish our real numbers to advertisers rather than rounded ones.
Display
Ten section bands and three card positions, sold individually or as a package. You supply the assets; we set the campaign in our own type. No banner artwork, no clashing colour, no layout shift.
Partner content
Native articles produced with our commercial team and reviewed editorially. Clearly labelled, honestly written — the format our readers actually finish.
Newsletter sponsorship
One sponsor per issue of The Autonomy Briefing, our Thursday newsletter. Logo, fifty words, one link.
Research partnership
Sponsor a deployment tracker or market report from Autonomous Systems Research, with your brand on data the industry cites.
Events & video
Webinar partnerships, video sponsorship and presence at our executive roundtables.
Recruitment
Industry jobs board placements targeting the sector's scarcest resource: experienced autonomy engineers.
Directory, people & events
Beyond the section bands, enhanced listings: featured placement, logos, media and headshots for the organisations, people and events we cover.
How display works here
We don’t rent rectangles. We set your campaign ourselves.
There is no 728 × 90 to design for and no banner to export. You send an image, a headline, a button label and a link. The image is yours to art-direct — your logo can sit inside it. We set the headline and button in our own type, on the ground and button colour you choose.
The result is deliberately a strip, not a page-takeover — it reads as an advertisement without shouting over the journalism. Everything below is live: this is exactly how your campaign will appear.
Format 01
The spread break
A full-bleed image with a thin typographic strip beneath it. Sold by section — see the inventory below — so a campaign can take the homepage alone, one listing, or the whole run of the site.
- Up to 60 characters
- Up to 24 characters
- One URL
- Wide crop, 2000 × 600 px minimum — your logo can live in here
- Optional — most campaigns put it inside the image instead
- One ground and one button colour (see below)
- 160px tall, full width
- 224px tall, full width
- 256px tall, full width
- Headline and button, one line from 640px up
The image is where you art-direct. Product, scene, logotype — whatever you want in it. We add only the headline and the button beneath, so the unit stays a strip and never dominates the page.
Format 02
The card
The rail unit on articles, company profiles, sector and listing pages; the in-feed unit inside the homepage news grid; and the in-article unit mobile readers see after the third paragraph. It fills the column it sits in rather than holding a fixed box open, so it looks deliberate at every width.
- Up to 32 characters
- Up to 60 characters
- Up to 140 characters
- Up to 24 characters
- One URL
- Landscape crop, 1200 × 800 px minimum, JPG or PNG
- Optional — sits above the headline, on a plate if it needs one
- One ground and one button colour (see below)
Colour
You choose two colours: the ground the strip sits on, and the button. Six presets for each, drawn from our own palette — or a hex of your own if your brand demands one. Whatever you pick, we compute the text colour from it, so a campaign can carry your colour without ever becoming hard to read.

Our advertising principles
Advertising funds our journalism; it never directs it. Every commercial placement is labelled, every partner article is editorially reviewed, and we cap ad density so the reading experience stays first-class. Because we set every campaign ourselves, we can guarantee an advertiser something a banner network never can: your message will look as considered as the journalism around it.
