In early 2021, Alex Hillman booked two sponsor slots to promote his book Tiny.MBA and shared the results of his campaign online afterwards. He sold over 100 books with an impressive conversion rate of close to 8% (resulting in a four-fold ROI). His second sponsor slot a couple of months later performed similarly, but with an even better conversion rate.
(Every advertising campaign performs differently and these numbers do not represent an expected average performance.)

The main sponsor slot appears on a yellow background in the top section of each issue, right below the issue’s introduction. Choose from one of three possible formats:
Format A is a text-only ad that appears in the same look as our app recommendations just below the ad. Great for promoting digital products or services.
Format B is similar to format A but includes a square image. Great for promoting digital products or services.
Format C has an image with just one block of text next to it. Ideal for agencies, image campaigns, longer announcements etc.
Each issue of DD contains four (4) short, text-based classified ads in the bottom quarter of the newsletter. Classifieds are limited to 180 characters of plain text and only one link. (Scroll down in any issue in the archive to see examples).
You can book classifieds as standalone ads, but many sponsors like to book a classified a few weeks before and after their main sponsor slot to keep the brand top-of-mind with DD readers.
