Sponsored Articles & Media Placements

The Female CEO® has published independently since 2015 for an audience of female founders, entrepreneurs and business leaders across 181 countries.

We work with a small number of brands and agencies each month on sponsored placements that genuinely belong here — content our readers would choose to read, alongside editorial they already do.

Why brands place with us

We turn work away. We don't accept content or links related to gambling, pharmaceuticals, dating, cryptocurrency, weight-loss products or services, adult content, vaping or tobacco, payday loans or high-interest finance, supplements, or low-quality AI-generated material. If you're unsure whether your sector qualifies, ask before submitting — we reserve the right to decline any placement that doesn't meet our editorial standards.

That list is the reason to be here. Your client's work sits alongside genuine editorial rather than in link inventory.

An audience that's growing, not shrinking. Our organic search traffic is up 136% year on year, and our average position in Google search results has improved from 20.9 to 8.2. That's unusual in a year when most independent publishers are losing search visibility. Full audience and traffic data available on request.

Published since 2015. An archive of 800+ articles, an established domain, and a readership built over a decade rather than bought.

Placements are permanent. Your article stays live and archived. We don't remove or rotate paid content, and we don't charge for the guarantee.

Editorial Standards

Submissions must provide genuine value to our audience of purpose-driven entrepreneurs. We prioritise authentic, insight-led editorial — not promotional copy. Articles are reviewed before publication and we may request revisions or decline a submission that doesn't meet the standard.

All paid placements carry an "Advertisement Feature" label, in line with UK advertising rules.
