Get in Touch →View Inventory
Industry-Concentrated

Readers across oil & gas, mining, renewables, and energy-sector finance — not general-audience news.

Daily Publishing

Original editorial analysis plus continuously updated wire coverage throughout the day.

40+ Source Publications

Aggregated coverage from Reuters, Bloomberg, FT, WSJ, Mining.com, OilPrice, and others.

U.S.+ Primary Geography

Principal reader concentration in the western U.S. with strong pickup in Canada, the U.K., and EU.

Why Energy Standard

Three things we commit to
I

Reach the industry, not the crowd

We're not a general news site. Our readers are the engineers, investors, analysts, and operators who make energy-sector decisions every day.

II

Sponsorship that looks like sponsorship

No native content that masquerades as editorial. Every sponsored placement is plainly labeled. Readers trust it, advertisers benefit from the clarity.

III

Section relevance over reach

Put your product in front of the readers most likely to care. A mining-tools company in front of Mining readers converts better than the same ad in front of everyone.

Case Study

“Energy Standard puts us in front of exactly the mining companies and geologists we want to reach. A Partner Spotlight on the Mining section outperforms anything we were doing on LinkedIn or Google. Sponsoring is how we fund the publication we already rely on.”

Frequently Asked

Things advertisers often ask first

Do you offer volume discounts?

Yes. Quarterly and annual commitments receive standard discounts. Multi-tier bundles (e.g. Presented-By + Partner Spotlight in the same section) receive additional packaging discounts.

What's the difference between a Sponsored Story and running my own article in your blog?

Sponsored Stories are clearly labeled advertisements you control — the copy, image, and link are yours. Editorial articles in our blog are written by our team and cannot be bought. We never accept pay-for-coverage.

Can I run a sponsorship that targets only one section?

Yes. Partner Spotlight, Newsletter Sponsor, and Mid-Article tiers can all be scoped to a specific section (e.g. Mining only). This typically converts better than a site-wide placement for industry-specific products.

Do you block competing brands from running simultaneously?

Yes. Tiers 01, 02, 03, and 05 exclude direct competitors during the flight. We publish a competitor list before flights go live.

What reporting do I get?

Weekly reports showing impressions, clicks, and click-through rate, broken down by placement and by page. Monthly deep-dive available for quarterly-plus flights.

What content policies apply to sponsored placements?

No illegal content, no adult content, no misleading claims. We may decline placements that conflict with editorial interest or that we judge misleading to our readers. Ad copy is subject to editorial review.
