Send us your work

Join the conversation. Help shape what comes next.

The next era of advertising is being argued into existence right now, and it will be better if the argument includes more than the people selling the software. We invite researchers, creators, advertisers, technologists and industry practitioners to collaborate with us — on research, on writing and on the open problems none of us have solved yet.

Whether your work is in immersive advertising, gamification, attention and mental health, creator economics, privacy engineering or the commercial plumbing underneath all of it, your perspective is worth having here.

Why contribute

Reach a specialist audience. Advertisers, agencies, creators and technologists who read closely and argue back.

Work alongside people building it. Our engineers and researchers collaborate on the questions, they do not just publish the answers.

Build your own standing. Thought leadership on emerging practice, ethical advertising and community-led solutions, published under your own name with full credit.

Open real opportunity for yourself. Research collaborations, advisory involvement, joint publication, speaking at our programmes, and — for some — a route into working with us permanently.

What we are looking for

State of Ads — programmatic advertising, creator and audience insight, industry trends and structural problems.

Care & Impact — mental health, attention, gamification for engagement, ethical marketing and responsible advertising practice.

Community development — creator ecosystems, collaborative platforms and how communities around content actually sustain themselves.

Emerging insight — AI-driven advertising, immersive media, AR/VR/XR, and the next generation of commerce systems.

Submission guidelines

Work should be original and not published elsewhere.

800–2,000 words for written contributions.

Clear, professional writing, research-backed where it makes a claim.

Include references, examples or data where applicable.

No promotional content or self-marketing. Insight, not a pitch.

How it works

Prepare your piece or proposal, aligned to one of the areas above.

Send it in with a short summary, a bio and any relevant references.

Editorial review. We read everything and respond with feedback or an acceptance.

Publication, with full credit to you, on Blowtrumpet or State of Ads.
