BECOME A FOUNDING SPONSOR
Put your brand alongside a new independent publication explaining the systems changing how retail works.
01 / OUR EDITORIAL PURPOSE
Retail Runtime is an independent, English-language technology publication dedicated to what is actually changing in retail and why it matters. We seek original analysis, source-backed reporting and actionable insight, rather than rewritten press releases.
Trace important claims to original sources. Separate what has been demonstrated from what is still being promised.
Examine deployment, economics and execution. Ask what changes in practice, who benefits and where the limits remain.
Connect recent cases across markets to explain the larger shift, beyond the latest announcement.
Our coverage spans AI, Store Technology, Robotics, Retail Media, Commerce, Infrastructure, Business and Analysis. Production may be AI-assisted; final publishing responsibility stays with the human Founder & Editor-in-Chief.
02 / THE AUDIENCE WE ARE BUILDING FOR
Technology, operations and transformation leaders deciding what to deploy.
Vendors, platforms and integrators building the systems behind retail.
Analysts, investors and industry strategists examining where the industry is going.
This is the audience we aim to serve. We do not promise an unverified audience size, engagement level or volume of leads. We will share available audience data and measurement coverage before booking.
03 / WHY JOIN EARLY
We aim to become a repeat destination and a useful industry briefing across regions, deepen cross-market trend reporting, and connect technology announcements to operational, economic and strategic consequences.

Enquire about availabilityAll prices exclude applicable VAT. Shares apply to eligible ad opportunities in each named slot, not unique readers or guaranteed impressions. A page view shows one creative per slot; there is no timed banner carousel. Section availability is agreed individually, with one Section Partner per category at a time.
05 / TERMS & EDITORIAL INDEPENDENCE
Initial commitment: three calendar months. Founding rates are protected for up to six consecutive months from activation, subject to agreement and continued availability. Continuing after month three requires express agreement; there is no automatic renewal.
Sponsorship buys clearly labelled advertising and agreed sponsor recognition. It does not buy favourable coverage, article approval, editorial control, an endorsement, ownership of a topic, or guaranteed traffic, clicks or leads. A Section Partner’s exclusivity applies only to its designated sponsor position, not all advertising or coverage.
Supply advertiser artwork at 970 × 250, 300 × 250 and/or 320 × 100 pixels in PNG, JPEG or WebP, with accessible alt text and an HTTPS destination. We agree desktop and mobile treatment before activation. One creative refresh per month is included.
Monthly reporting distinguishes served impressions, clicks and click-through rate. Site-estimated viewability is reported separately where measured; it is not independently accredited. We do not use ad networks, third-party tracking pixels or cross-site profiling for sponsorship delivery.
