Clear identification
Paid placements and sponsored articles must be labeled Advertisement or Sponsored advertisement near the placement or headline. A design that fits a publication must still make its paid nature clear. Material affiliate or endorsement relationships must be disclosed where readers encounter the recommendation.
Contact HGM ↗Editorial independence
Buying a placement does not purchase an independent editorial endorsement, guaranteed search ranking or undisclosed coverage. Editorial and paid inventory are handled distinctly. Public claims, audience figures and campaign results must be supported by evidence.
Privacy choices ↗Campaign agreements
An advertising inquiry is a request to discuss a campaign. Availability, dates, creative responsibilities, approvals, delivery measures, price, taxes, cancellation and remedies for missed delivery belong in a written campaign order before payment.
Creative and permissions
Advertisers must hold permission for submitted trademarks, photographs, music, video and identifiable-person likenesses, and substantiate product claims. HGM may decline misleading, unlawful, infringing or unsafe material. Restricted categories require separate review before acceptance.
