Social Europe is where European policy professionals read. Our audience doesn’t just scroll — they assign our articles on university syllabi, cite them in academic papers, embed them in policy briefings, and share them across EU institutions. If you want to reach the people who shape European policy, there is no more targeted channel.
Most publishers can only tell you how many people visit their site. We can also tell you who they are and what they do with our content (based on newsletter and website referral data from 2025/2026).

What We Offer
We create bespoke advertising partnerships, not generic ad placements. Every campaign is designed in collaboration with you to align your message with the interests of our readership. We do not run advertising campaigns for content or events unrelated to the thematic areas we cover. This keeps Social Europe coherent.
Our formats include:
Custom-designed display advertising — prominent placements in the sidebar of the website, designed to complement our editorial environment. Minimum booking: one month.
Dedicated newsletter promotions — reaching 22,000+ subscribers who open at rates nearly double the industry average.
Tailored campaign packages — combining site and newsletter presence for maximum impact with a highly engaged, professional audience.
What Our Partners Say About Advertising on Social Europe
Working with Social Europe has allowed us to connect with an engaged audience that share the same interests as the books and ideas we promote. We have been impressed with the high level of engagement from the email campaigns we have run with Social Europe, and by the banner ads and opportunities to advertise on the newsletter.

We were looking to reach out to a different audience for one of our programmes for executives and experimented with a message sent out to Social Europe’s database of subscribers. The results from this activity exceeded our expectation both in terms of volume and level of engagement. We are therefore planning to advertise through Social Europe again in the future and would heartily recommend them to other institutions.
