Media kit 2026

The planning basis for B2B presence.

The media kit brings together everything that matters for planning: magazine profiles, reach, packages, reporting, newsletter options and agency terms.

Reach

Verified readers with measured reading performance

What counts is active engagement with the content. Packages come with minimum reach, reporting and a make-good guarantee.

Environments

Four magazines for four B2B perspectives

Cloud, security, business and C-level leadership can be booked individually or combined across titles.

Planning

Packages, prices and agency model

All prices, packages and the agency model with 15 per cent AE - a solid basis for client planning.

AI discoverability

Present where B2B decision-makers search today - including AI search.

20 per cent of German search queries already show AI overviews; classic top rankings lose up to 59 per cent of their clicks. Presence now needs both: strong SEO foundations and content that AI answers can use as a source. Source: SISTRIX analysis, 100 million search terms, February 2026.

Openness

Open to AI crawlers

While many publishers block AI crawlers, our magazines are deliberately open: GPTBot, ClaudeBot and PerplexityBot are allowed via robots.txt - articles can be cited as a source.

Structure

Structured for answer engines

Every article ships with schema markup (Article, FAQ, Person, Organization), an answer-first structure and clear sourcing - the form that makes content citable for AI search.

Trust

Real editorial, real authors

Named specialist authors with their own profile pages - strong E-E-A-T signals that Google and AI search engines weigh when choosing sources.

Social Media

Present where your audience already reads and shares.

Brand messages do not belong only on your own website. Here is a LinkedIn carousel from cloudmagazin - the same editorial substance runs across the four B2B titles cloudmagazin, MyBusinessFuture, SecurityToday and Digital Chiefs.

One article, many channels. LinkedIn is the example here - the same story reaches readers in the newsletter, the magazine and social feeds.

Editorial placement

From topic to a B2B placement that lasts.

The media kit shows how a specialist topic becomes a fitting magazine, clean editorial treatment and plannable distribution.

01

Sharpen the topic

Briefing, audience and communication goal are condensed into a concrete editorial thesis.

02

Choose the magazine

cloudmagazin, SecurityToday, MyBusinessFuture or Digital Chiefs supply the right specialist context.

03

Prepare the article

The piece is framed editorially, structured for SEO and AI search, and labelled transparently.

04

Deploy reach

Distribution, newsletter options and reporting turn the placement into a plannable B2B campaign.

Why work with us

Four core promises, one clear model.

Performance publishing means: you pay for proven reading performance; the risk sits with the publisher. Every package is built on that.

Measurement

Verified readers

You pay for real reading performance. Every reader is measured - via dwell time and scroll depth.

Distribution

Premium whitelist

Curated reading recommendations in vetted quality environments. Topic fit and availability are checked.

Guarantee

Make-Good

KPI not met? We deliver more, at no extra cost. The performance risk sits with the publisher.

AI search

Open and citable

Structured for Google News, ChatGPT and Perplexity. AI crawlers are explicitly allowed - while many publishers block them.

Why agencies work with us
  • 15 per cent AE on all media bookings when you supply the content.
  • White-label: Reporting, dashboards and campaign documentation fully in your CI on request. Your client sees only your brand.
  • No-poaching guarantee: We work exclusively with you. Your existing clients stay your clients.
  • Premium distribution via whitelist: contextual reading recommendations in vetted quality environments on a closed whitelist.
  • Publisher standard: curated content with a clear editorial focus - no banner distraction next to the client article.
  • Transparent reporting: Dashboard with clean UTM parameters, clear labelling per policy, GDPR-compliant processing at company level.
Why companies work with us
  • Verified readers: You pay for proven reading performance - measured via dwell time and scroll depth.
  • Plannable entry: Pilot from €890 net, scalable once the numbers convince. No annual contract required.

  • Make-good guarantee: KPI not met? We extend distribution at no extra cost.

The difference from classic media placement

Criterion Classic MBF Media
Environment & brand safety Display inventory next to the content, multiple advertisers in view Exclusive attention window: display-free, brand-safe, magazine quality
Billing Impressions and CPM - you pay for the impression Verified readers - you pay for proven reading performance
AI discoverability Often AI crawler blocking through paywall protection Open to AI crawlers, structured and citable for ChatGPT, Perplexity and Google
Distribution Programmatic networks, open reach Curated whitelist: Reading recommendations in premium environments plus own magazine reach
Presence duration Ends with the budget; content fades after the campaign Article stays at least 24 months online and keeps building reach
Performance risk Sits with the advertiser Sits with the publisher: Make-good until the agreed KPI
Targeting Cookie-based, increasingly limited by privacy regulation Contextual and topic-based - cookie-independent, GDPR-safe

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Why is the media kit not a direct download?
The media kit contains prices and terms, so we send the link by email. Company and email address are enough - the download arrives right after confirmation, without a call and without a sales loop.
Which audiences do I reach through MBF Media?
Depending on the magazine, campaigns reach cloud architects, IT and security leads, managing directors, C-level decision-makers and business leads in the DACH region.
Can agencies resell the packages?
Yes. Agencies stay in front of the client; MBF Media works as publisher in the background. Paid client projects carry an ongoing 15 per cent AE.
Are the articles advertising or editorial?
Paid placements are labelled transparently. Specialist content is prepared editorially, but sales and editorial stay separate. That separation matters for credibility, SEO and discoverability in AI search.
What happens after the download?
You can review the media kit yourself or send a concrete topic back. We then recommend a fitting magazine mix, package and a realistic reach plan.
Are the articles also found in AI search?
The magazines are open to AI crawlers; articles are structured and carry real authors - the prerequisite to appear as a source in ChatGPT, Perplexity and Google AI overviews. No serious publisher guarantees an AI citation. What we guarantee is verified readers.
