Advertising & Sponsorships
Reach the people who decide how direct contracts get done.
DirectContract readers are self-funded employers, CFOs, HR leaders, benefits consultants, and payor contracting teams who are actively trying to understand and execute direct contracts. It is a small but high-intent audience that cares about mechanics, not hype.
We offer a limited number of sponsorships for brands that belong in that conversation: platforms, health systems, TPAs, navigation vendors, and advisory firms with a real point of view on direct contracting.
Newsletter sponsorship
Weekly Direct Contract Briefing
Your message at the top of the Weekly Direct Contract Briefing. Includes logo, headline, 2–3 lines of copy, and a clear CTA link. Delivered every Friday to operators and finance leaders following new deals.
$150 for a single issue · $500 for a 4-issue block
Founding rates for 2026; pricing will step up as the list grows.
Tracker sponsorship
Direct Contract Tracker placement
A sponsor block adjacent to the Direct Contract Tracker: logo, one-line positioning, and CTA. Designed for vendors and systems that want to be visible alongside live deals, not generic healthcare traffic.
$250 per week · $800 per month (4 weeks)
Limited to a small number of tracker sponsors at any given time.
Annual partner
Annual Partner Package
For a small set of long-term partners, we combine newsletter placement, tracker visibility, and periodic analysis callouts into a single package. This is for brands that want to show up consistently in the direct contracting conversation over the course of the year.
$7,500 per year (founding partner rate).
We care about fit more than volume. Packages are curated, clearly labeled as sponsored, and kept separate from core deal data and editorial analysis.
