Three entries from the sample report

Prepared for a cybersecurity newsletter with ~15,000 subscribers (identity kept private). Each of the 30 entries in a full report follows this exact structure: evidence, contact, pitch. Every factual claim links to a public source.

Tines TIER 1

Why they'll sponsor you

Tines sells no-code security automation to SOC teams, exactly this newsletter's readership, and was the single most active newsletter buyer we observed: the same campaign ran as primary placements inUnsupervised Learning #535 (Jul 6, 2026),CloudSecList #346 (Jul 12, 2026) andtl;dr sec #335 (Jul 2, 2026), plus placements in two more comparable titles the same month.

Who to contact

A named demand generation lead, with the public sources for the identification and an honest status on the email address (in this case: not published, verify before sending), plus a documented fallback channel.

Ready-to-send pitch

Subject: You bought 4 newsletters in July. Missing one.

Tines ran the same campaign across Unsupervised Learning, CloudSecList, and tl;dr sec in the last five weeks, so security newsletters clearly perform for you. [Newsletter] is the one you haven't bought: ~15,000 subscribers, almost all detection engineers, SOC leads, and threat intel practitioners. Weekly, 163 issues, zero sponsors to date, clean inventory. Primary placement is $2,000-2,500. For reference, CloudSecList charges $1,950 at 12k subscribers and is sold out into 2026. Worth a 15-minute call, or shall I just send open dates?

Nebulock TIER 1

Why they'll sponsor you

Nebulock ($25M Series A,announced Jun 25, 2026) sells hunt-first security operations, the literal center of this newsletter's editorial line. They paid for awholly sponsored Risky Business Soap Box episodeon threat hunting driving detection (Jul 8, 2026), a long-form format that costs well above a newsletter slot.

Who to contact

The founder-CEO, identified from the company's own about page, with context that makes the pitch land: a product marketing background and his own newsletter, so he knows exactly what this inventory is worth.

Ready-to-send pitch

Subject: The Soap Box audience, but 100% detection people

The Soap Box episode on threat hunting driving detection (July 8) landed in front of a broad security audience. My readers are the narrow version of that: ~15,000 detection engineers, threat hunters and SOC leads, every week, 163 issues in. Fresh off your Series A, if pipeline from practitioners matters this quarter: the newsletter has carried zero sponsors ever. First brand in gets clean attention. Primary placement is $2,000-2,500. You write on Substack; you know what this inventory is worth. Call?

ThreatLocker TIER 2

Why they'll sponsor you

ThreatLocker is the largest buyer of cyber audio inventory we observed: host-read spots onevery Darknet Diaries episode from April through July 2026, four Defense in Depth episodes, and afull week of Cyber Security Headlines (Jul 13-17, 2026). Total audio coverage, no newsletter coverage: that gap is the pitch.

Who to contact

A senior brand marketing executive identified from public organizational sources, with a published press channel as fallback and the email status stated honestly.

Ready-to-send pitch

Subject: You own cyber podcasts. This is the newsletter gap.

ThreatLocker is on every Darknet Diaries episode this quarter, plus Defense in Depth and a full week of Cyber Security Headlines. Your audio coverage is total; your newsletter coverage isn't. [Newsletter]: ~15,000 detection engineers and SOC leads, the hands-on evaluators of endpoint controls, weekly, 163 issues, zero sponsors to date. Primary placement is $2,000-2,500. Reply with a name if someone on demand gen owns this, or I'll send open dates.
