Who reads Spike Travel

People in the planning stage of a trip: they have a destination or a shortlist, they are comparing months and budgets, and they are about to book. That is the moment our dossiers, tools and newsletter are built for. We publish audience figures to partners on request as they grow; we will not inflate them.

What we offer

• Newsletter sponsorship. One clearly labelled sponsor slot in The Spike, our weekly email. Sponsors get a short message in their own voice, marked "Sponsored".
• Display advertising. Served through an advertising network and marked as advertising. Placements never interrupt a dossier's fast-facts or booking panels.
• Sponsored content. Occasional, labelled "Sponsored" in the page title and at the top of the page, and never placed inside dossiers, reviews or news.
• Affiliate partnerships. If you run a booking, insurance, gear or connectivity product with an affiliate programme, we are glad to evaluate it on its merits. Being a partner does not get a product recommended; readers can see which links pay us.

What we will not do

We do not sell inclusion in a dossier, placement in a list, a rating, or the removal of criticism. We do not run undisclosed placements. Our editorial standards are the contract with readers, and no advertising deal overrides them.
