Partner with CricZone
Australian cricket, all summer, in one place.
Reach readers following Australian cricket from the Test arena to Saturday grade. Place a brand alongside live match coverage, or take a section, a series or the Match Centre outright.
Why CricZone
The whole game
International, domestic, women’s and club cricket, covered as journalism rather than as a results list. Club and grade cricket gets a byline and a report here rather than a scoreline, and that is where a loyal reader is made.
A season, not a moment
Fixtures, live scores, results and the archive behind them are one connected structure. A series hub keeps earning readers long after the last ball, so a partnership does not end when the match does.
Coverage a brand can sit beside
Every piece carries a byline. Corrections are published on the article they correct. Sponsored content is disclosed on the card and again at the top of the piece, never styled to read as independent reporting.
We do not publish audience figures we have not measured. Circulation and reach are supplied on enquiry, dated and sourced, rather than quoted here.
Advertising opportunities
Display and native placements across the surfaces readers use most. Every one of these is a page you can look at today.
Match Centre
The page a reader keeps open while a match is on. A brand here sits beside a score that changes rather than beside an article somebody has finished reading.
Score strip
Above the fold on every page of the site during a match. The most repeatedly seen strip of the publication, and the one a reader looks at deliberately.
Sections
News, match reports, interviews, features and media releases. A brand can take a whole section rather than a rotation across the site.
Series and tournaments
A series hub gathers every report, interview and scorecard of a tour or a season in one place, and keeps earning readers long after the last ball.
Teams
International, state, franchise and club. A team hub serves a loyalty that lasts a lifetime, which is a different proposition from a week of impressions.
Video
Highlights, interviews and analysis. The placement is a sponsor lockup beneath the player rather than a pre-roll: CricZone does not interrupt somebody's footage to run an advertisement over it.
Photography
Galleries from the grounds. A high-attention surface a reader moves through deliberately.
Newsletter
Stumps, the CricZone evening letter, written for readers who asked for it. It has not started sending, so there is nothing in it to book yet. Say so in an enquiry and we will come to you when it opens.
Sponsorship opportunities
A sponsorship is a presence rather than an impression: your brand is part of how a surface is presented for the length of the arrangement, and it appears in the same lockup everywhere that surface does.
Sponsor the Match Centre
Your brand on the live scores surface for a series, a season or a single Test, with the lockup on every card that belongs to it.
Sponsor a section
Match reports, interviews, video: a whole editorial section, presented as a sponsorship rather than as a banner rotation.
Sponsor a series
Every fixture, report and scorecard of one tour or competition, gathered under one hub and one partner.
Sponsor a team hub
A single side, at any level of the game, from a Test nation down to the state and club sides CricZone reports on by name.
CricZone members pay less
Businesses whose owners hold a CricZone membership get up to 25% off advertising and sponsorship rates on Season Pass. Tell us you are a member when you enquire and it is applied to your quote.
Some plans discount particular placements or a set number of bookings rather than everything. Your quote states exactly what was applied and why.
Bespoke partnerships
Some arrangements do not fit a rate card. We build them with the newsroom, and every one is disclosed to readers.
- Season-long partnerships across multiple surfaces, priced as one arrangement rather than as a set of placements.
- Content series commissioned with the newsroom and labelled as sponsored on the card and at the top of every piece.
- Newsletter sponsorship, in the letter rather than around it, from the day Stumps begins sending.
- Grassroots and club cricket support, attached to coverage that carries a byline and a report rather than a result.
