Reach a padel audience.

Direct-sold display, native and editorial partnerships in the magazine for people in Padel. No programmatic. No behavioural targeting. No retargeting pixels. Clean, well-placed advertising in a publication built for readers who care about the sport.

Who reads Courtelier

Courtelier is editorial-first, addressed to people who play padel and care about the sport's culture, business, gear, places and people. We are a new publication: we are building an audience and we will publish hard metrics here as they become real. Until then, what we can offer is editorial quality, clean placement, direct relationships and our undivided attention.

Our register is the European and global padel scene with strong UK coverage. We expect a reader profile of:

  • Active players, typically several sessions per week, often spending on equipment, lessons and travel for the sport
  • Club operators, coaches and federation people across the UK, Spain, Italy, Sweden, the UAE and beyond
  • Brand and agency teams at racquet manufacturers, club groups, equipment retailers and travel companies
  • Padel-curious lifestyle readers from adjacent racquet sports

Packages

Three direct-sold slots. No third-party ad networks, no auction, no demand-side platforms. Each placement is sold one-to-one, and reviewed by the editorial team for fit.

Sponsored content and editorial partnerships

For brand-funded long-form, video partnerships, event coverage, club series or destination features we work on a case-by-case basis. Sponsored content is always clearly labelled, written by Courtelier editors or by writers we commission, and produced separately from our news desk.

We will say no to commissions that conflict with editorial coverage. We will say no to brand campaigns where we cannot meet the brief honestly. This is how the magazine stays worth reading.

FAQ

Do you accept programmatic, retargeting pixels or behavioural ad targeting?
No. Every placement is sold direct and lives on first-party infrastructure. We use Microsoft Clarity and Google Analytics 4 for first-party site analytics, with reader consent. That is the only analytics on the site.
Will my campaign affect your editorial coverage?
No. Advertising and editorial are decided separately. Sponsored content, when it appears, is clearly labelled. We will tell you in advance if a story we are working on is likely to appear alongside your campaign and you can choose to pause for that flight.
Can I sponsor a specific category or article?
Category sponsorship: yes, on a quarter-by-quarter basis. Article-level sponsorship: only for sponsored content produced under that arrangement. We will not retroactively attach a brand to an existing editorial piece.
How will I know the campaign is performing?
Honest impression and click numbers shared at flight end. We are too small to offer real-time dashboards, and we are deeply suspicious of vanity-metric reporting at our stage. We would rather under-report and tell you the truth.
