Why Partner

Reach the leaders shaping the future of geospatial.

I work with companies building the tools, platforms, and infrastructure powering modern GIS, spatial analytics, earth observation, and location intelligence.
01

Wide, relevant reach

Practitioners, architects, executives, and leaders who influence real technology and budget decisions — not passive consumers or hobbyists.

02

Trust before transaction

Sponsorships are designed to create credible exposure and long-term product understanding, not just impressions and click-through chasing.

03

Multi-channel reporting

You get regular updates on campaigns across newsletter, YouTube, LinkedIn, and podcast — with first-party metrics where they're meaningful.

Platforms

Who you'll reach, where you'll reach them.

The audience spans the full modern geospatial stack — from GIS professionals and spatial analysts to data engineers, ML practitioners, and the leaders responsible for tooling and architecture decisions.

Why Partner With Me

Most geospatial marketing chases impressions. I sell context.

My work focuses on education, context, and credibility — which drive stronger downstream outcomes than ad-style impressions ever will. Sponsors are positioned as part of the ecosystem, not interruptions within it.

01
Trust-based exposure to a technically literate audience
02
Alignment with modern, cloud-native, and open geospatial thinking
03
Visibility across multiple touchpoints — not a single post or ad
04
Long-tail impact as content keeps surfacing months after launch

RECOMMENDED · MOST SPONSORS

Custom bundle

Combine two or more formats into a coordinated campaign — newsletter + LinkedIn + podcast, YouTube integration + LinkedIn amplification, or whatever your launch actually needs. Compounding touchpoints across channels outperform any single placement, and the bundled price beats booking each format separately.

How I work

A thoughtful approach to sponsorship.

I work with a small number of partners per quarter to keep audience trust intact and to make sure every campaign actually gets the attention it paid for.
01

Audience trust comes first

If I wouldn't recommend it personally, I won't take the sponsorship. Quiet quarters are fine — losing trust isn't.

02

Integrations stay authentic

Sponsor reads, segments, and posts are written in my voice and tied to real teaching moments — not scripted ad copy.

03

Real attention, not dilution

Each placement gets a meaningful share of voice. No 6-sponsor mid-rolls, no clutter, no race to the bottom of the inbox.

04

Collaboration, not transaction

I want to know your roadmap, your ideal customer, and what success looks like — then build a campaign that actually moves it.
