AdBridge

Connect newsletter writers with advertisers. Automated sponsorship marketplace.

● The Problem

Newsletter writers with 5K-50K subscribers cannot easily find sponsors. Big ad networks ignore small creators. Manual outreach to brands is time-consuming. There is no Shopify App Store equivalent for newsletter ads.

● The Solution

A marketplace that matches newsletter writers with relevant advertisers. Writers list their newsletter stats and audience. Advertisers browse and book placements. Payment, ad insertion, and performance reporting are automated.

Competitive Landscape

Swapstack was acquired by Beehiiv. Paved and Passionfroot handle influencer sponsorships. The mid-tail newsletter ad market (5K-50K subscribers) is underserved post-Swapstack acquisition.

Why Now?

Newsletter creation tools are mature. The monetization infrastructure has not kept pace. Swapstack being absorbed into Beehiiv left a gap for an independent marketplace.
