Partnerships

United Design Journal considers collaborations that fit its coverage of design and are presented transparently. Partnership material remains distinct from editorial judgement.

Possible collaborations

We consider relevant commissioned explainers, clearly identified partner features, display placements and links to suitable partner resources. Proposals should explain the subject, intended audience, format, placement and any financial or material support involved.

Clear labelling

Partner-supported or paid material is labelled where readers encounter it. Labels identify the commercial relationship in plain language; they do not imply that United Design Journal independently tested, endorsed or verified a product or service.

Editorial boundaries

Partners cannot buy a favourable conclusion, dictate independent editorial coverage or require unsupported claims. We may decline proposals that do not fit the publication, obscure who is responsible for a claim or make an unsuitable request.

How to propose

Use the Contact page and select the partnership option. Include the proposed collaboration, its terms and any requested placement. A proposal is not an agreement, and no placement is confirmed until the details are agreed.
