What does Cointelegraph sponsored article placement include?
| Deliverable | What it covers |
|---|---|
| Placement planning | Article angle, audience and campaign objective |
| Content coordination | Brief, draft preparation and review notes |
| Publication check | Live-page confirmation against the agreed scope |
Cointelegraph sponsored article placement is a paid-content option, not an independent news report. It fits a project that has a substantive update, product, research finding or founder perspective to explain, and can support its claims with clear information. The useful question is whether a reader can take something concrete from the article—not simply whether the project wants a prominent name beside its announcement.
Before starting, define the reader, the single main point and the action you want readers to take. Share the project’s current description, announcement details, product links and any statements that need careful wording. We use a placement-fit review to flag gaps in the story and scope before drafting. If your objective is broader coverage across several publishers, compare this option with sponsored articles in crypto media or start with the wider PR and media plan.
Which sponsored article format fits your announcement?
| Format | Use it when | Prepare |
|---|---|---|
| Announcement-led article | There is a concrete launch, partnership or product update | Confirmed facts, dates and named parties |
| Explainer | Readers need context to understand a product or category | Product details, use case and limits |
| Founder perspective | The goal is to make a considered argument or explain a decision | A clear thesis and supporting examples |
The right format is the one your evidence can carry. An announcement-led article should separate confirmed details from plans. An explainer needs plain-language definitions and a specific use case. A founder perspective should make an argument beyond general claims about the sector. We help shape the brief around that distinction, then confirm the deliverable and review boundaries before work starts.
The publisher’s sponsored-content arrangement determines the available format and final presentation. We do not assume a homepage feature, a particular article position, a backlink attribute or social amplification unless it is explicitly included in the confirmed scope. If your story needs a direct statement from a spokesperson, consider whether a founder interview or feature is a better fit. For a distribution-first announcement, compare press release distribution before choosing an article.
How should you prepare the article and disclosure?
| Brief item | What to provide |
|---|---|
| Core story | One-sentence message and intended reader |
| Evidence | Product details, public links and approved supporting claims |
| Review | Named approver and consolidated feedback |
A complete brief reduces avoidable edits and keeps the article specific. Include the project’s correct name and description, the announcement or argument, relevant product links, approved spokesperson details and any restrictions on wording. Mark information that is confidential or not yet confirmed; do not put it forward as publishable fact. Send one consolidated set of feedback from the person authorized to approve the copy.
Sponsored content should be represented transparently. We confirm the disclosure wording and presentation with the placement scope before publication; the publisher controls how its disclosure appears on the live page. Keep the disclosure visible and do not ask for copy that could be mistaken for independent editorial coverage. The article should also make its purpose clear to a reader who arrives without knowing the project. For other formats and disclosure considerations across publishers, see sponsored articles in crypto media.
How does the Cointelegraph review and publication process work?
- Scope: Confirm article format, angle, deliverables and placement details.
- Kickoff: Complete the brief checklist and identify the project approver.
- Prepare: Develop or refine the article using approved facts and source material.
- Review: Consolidate project feedback and coordinate the agreed review.
- Verify: Check the published page against the confirmed scope and share the record.
The sequence is straightforward; the calendar is set by the readiness of the material, the number of review rounds agreed and the publisher’s review and scheduling. We establish the working timeline after scope confirmation rather than assigning a date before the inputs and slot are clear. If the project has a launch date, tell us at kickoff and identify which facts can be published by then.
AEOTech assigns an account contact to coordinate the work. Our handoff includes the live-page URL and a publication check against the agreed placement details; it does not substitute for your own review of product, legal or regulatory statements. For a comparison with another named publication, see CoinDesk placement or Decrypt and The Block placements.
What does the publisher control on a Cointelegraph placement?
| Check | Who controls it |
|---|---|
| Editorial review and acceptance | Cointelegraph |
| Final disclosure presentation | Cointelegraph |
| Publication timing and page position | Cointelegraph |
| Accuracy of supplied project facts | The project team |
Cointelegraph reviews and presents sponsored content under its own process. We can coordinate the agreed paid placement and the work attached to it, but cannot control whether the publisher accepts a proposed draft unchanged, how it labels the content, or the final timing and position on its site. Confirm the scope and disclosure before approval, and keep claims within the evidence you can support. Check that the live URL opens, the article title and project name match the approved copy, and the disclosure is visible. Save the page URL and a dated capture for your campaign files.
How should Cointelegraph fit into a wider crypto PR campaign?
| Campaign need | Consider pairing the article with |
|---|---|
| Announcement distribution | A coordinated press release |
| More publisher options | Sponsored articles across crypto media |
| Broader communications plan | The PR and media service |
A Cointelegraph article works best when it has a defined role in the campaign: explain a launch, add context to a public announcement or give a founder’s position a durable home. Decide what the article should do before adding other channels. If readers need a short factual announcement, use a release format; if the message needs explanation, invest in the article angle and supporting detail. Avoid sending the same copy everywhere without adapting it to the purpose of each placement.
For a practical start, send us the project URL, the announcement or argument, your preferred article format, the target publication window and the person who can approve copy. We will run the placement-fit review, identify missing inputs and return a scoped plan for Cointelegraph publication.

Frequently asked questions
How much does a Cointelegraph sponsored article cost?
The starting price is from $4,290 / article. The confirmed scope should set the format, content work and placement details before you approve the campaign. For the pricing page, see Cointelegraph article pricing.
How long does Cointelegraph publication take?
The timeline is agreed after scope and material readiness are clear. Draft preparation, your review and the publisher’s review and scheduling all affect the calendar, so share any launch window at kickoff rather than relying on an assumed turnaround.
Will the article be labeled as sponsored content?
The article is a paid-content placement and should be presented transparently. We confirm disclosure handling as part of the scope, while Cointelegraph controls the final wording and presentation on its page.
Can we provide a draft instead of asking for writing support?
Yes, you can share an existing draft for review and coordination. Include its sources and identify who can approve edits. We will confirm whether the draft fits the agreed format and scope before the work proceeds.
Can you promise a specific publication date or page position?
No. We can confirm the agreed placement and deliverables, but Cointelegraph controls editorial review, final disclosure, scheduling and page position. The working timeline is set after the publisher’s process and your approved materials are taken into account.
What should we send before starting?
Send the project URL, a one-sentence article objective, confirmed story facts, supporting links, any spokesperson details and your preferred publication window. Name one approver and flag confidential or unconfirmed information so it is not treated as publishable.
