The model, side by side

You care about impact - not impressions.

You want impact for your content. Classic media buying is billed in impressions; whether anyone reads remains open. At MBF Media, only the proven reading session counts, and the performance risk sits with the publisher.

ClassicImpression
The ad is displayed. Nothing more is assured. After the campaign ends, the content fizzles out, and the advertiser carries the risk.
MBF MediaVerified reader
A reader only counts after 30 seconds of reading time or 50 percent scroll depth. If the contractually assured minimum number of readers is not reached, we redeliver at no extra cost.

What this means for agencies

You pass a reliable number on to your client: one briefing, one approval, dashboard reporting, white-label on request. 15 percent agency commission on media services.

What this means for your brand

Your message appears as an editorial trade article where your buyers do their research, with a guaranteed minimum readership and measurable engagement in the reporting.

Three channels, one lasting visibility effect

An article that stays in the market and grows stronger in AI search.

A placement starts in the magazine, is carried to the target group via newsletter and social media, and remains permanently discoverable as an editorial article. This creates a citable specialist article with verified reach: guaranteed at least 24 months online, twelve months editorially maintained and structurally strong for GEO and AEO.

The permanent reference point: indexed, citable and explicitly open to AI crawlers.
NewsletterAround 23,500 B2B subscribers

Social media
Extends the article into the feeds of relevant decision-makers and keeps the topic in circulation.

Together, the three channels act like a publishing system: immediate activation, measurable readership, long-term discoverability and better conditions for AI citations. No serious player guarantees an AI citation; what we guarantee is verified readers.
