Advertising & Sponsored Content
The Rio Times has published English-language journalism from Brazil and Latin America since 2009. We accept a limited amount of sponsored content, and we publish it on terms that are the same for every advertiser and stated openly on this page.
Only one authorised channel
Placements on The Rio Times are sold exclusively through [email protected]. No agency, reseller, marketplace or broker is authorised to sell, resell or price advertising on this publication. If you have been offered a placement here by any third party, the offer was not made with our authority, and any terms attached to it — pricing, link types, labelling, indexing or turnaround — do not bind us. Write to us and we will tell you the actual rate, which is the one below.
Rates
All prices in EUR. Every sponsored post includes one promotional link.
What every placement includes
- A permanent page on The Rio Times, a Google News–approved publication.
- A visible Sponsored content label, in line with advertising-disclosure standards.
- Your brand mention and one promotional link.
- One accompanying image.
- Copy up to 600 words. Longer pieces on request, quoted separately.
- Publication within 24 hours of cleared payment.
What we do not sell
- Rankings, comparisons and “best of” lists. Where a company stands among its competitors is an editorial judgement. It is not for sale at any price.
- Unlabelled content. Every paid placement is marked as such. There is no arrangement under which it is not.
- Guaranteed Google indexing. We submit every article to Google for indexing. Whether and when Google indexes a page is Google’s decision alone, and nobody can promise otherwise.
- Editorial coverage. Sponsorship buys a labelled placement. It does not buy a news story, a review, or the newsroom’s opinion.
How it works
You supply the copy, or we write it for you on request (EUR 150 extra). We review every submission and reserve the right to decline a subject or to edit for accuracy. Payment is in advance, by PayPal, Wise or Stripe. Packages of 10 or more articles booked together and paid in advance: 20% off; 25 or more: 30% off.
To enquire, write to [email protected] with the topic, the target URL, your preferred anchor text and your billing details (full name or company, and country). We will confirm availability and issue an invoice.
Banner and newsletter sponsorship, and multi-placement arrangements, are quoted individually at the same address.
