The Circuit exists to serve the professional security and executive protection community. Our primary obligation is to our readers, working operators, decision-makers, and industry leaders across North America, the UK, and other English-speaking markets. We do not publish promotional advertorial disguised as editorial content. Any paid collaboration must provide genuine operational, strategic, or industry value.
We accept a limited number of sponsored editorial contributions under the format:
A Partner Insight is a sponsored article that:
Is insight-led and practitioner-focused
Provides operational or strategic value
Avoids overt product promotion
Contributes meaningfully to industry conversation
These pieces are clearly labelled as: Partner Insight. Transparency is non-negotiable.
All sponsored content:
Undergoes light editorial review
Must align with our tone, standards, and audience expectations
Cannot contain exaggerated claims or sales language
Must place any brand references naturally within the context of the insight
Includes one contextual follow link placed organically within the article
We reserve the right to request revisions or decline publication if the content does not meet our standards.
We believe trust is built on clarity. Any paid placement will be:
Clearly labelled as a Partner Insight
Distinguished from independent editorial content
Presented in a way that respects both our readers and our partners
We do not disguise sponsored content as independent reporting.
SEO link placements without value-led content
Pure backlink posts
Promotional press releases
Sponsored content without disclosure
Guaranteed editorial positioning outside agreed packages
Our platform is built on credibility. We protect it accordingly.
Partner Insight articles may be supported by:
Newsletter promotion (On the Circuit)
Social amplification (LinkedIn, X, Facebook)
Homepage feature placement
Podcast guest appearances
Cross-platform visibility packages
All amplification options are agreed in advance and clearly defined.
The protection industry relies on trust, discretion, and professionalism. So do we. Our goal is to create a space where industry partners can share expertise while maintaining the integrity our readers expect.
