The Clear Desk considers collaborations that fit its practical focus and are presented with clear boundaries for readers.
Suitable collaborations
Possible work includes clearly identified partner articles, relevant resource features, and limited placements across the publication. A proposed collaboration should be useful to readers interested in everyday digital tools, organization, or work habits, and should be specific about the material and placement requested.
Labelling and editorial boundaries
Partner material and paid placements are clearly labelled. Commercial involvement does not buy editorial endorsement, control over independent coverage, or a promise of favorable treatment. We may decline work that is misleading, poorly matched to the publication, or difficult to distinguish from independent editorial material.
Make a proposal
Use the Contact page and select the partnership option. Describe the organization or project, the proposed format, the intended audience, and any commercial relationship readers should understand. Please do not send confidential information in an initial proposal.
