Ask the Record

For sponsors

Sponsorship

Reach the audience that reads the record.

Ask the Record is the AI search layer over the declassified US government archive — UAP encounters, MKUltra, COINTELPRO, and (soon) the JFK files. Our visitors are independent researchers, journalists, history-minded readers, and curious citizens going to the primary source instead of taking someone's word for it. If your brand fits this audience, the inventory below is open.

Who reads the record

High-intent. Patient. Not a Facebook scroller.

Topical depth

Visitors arrive with a specific question — a date, a name, an incident — and stay through multi-paragraph cited answers. Average session is measured in minutes, not seconds.

Source-respecting

They click through to original FOIA documents, AARO assessments, Church Committee reports. They want to verify, not be entertained. That predicts the kind of brands they buy from.

Audience-native demand

UAP/declassified-records audiences index high for: telescopes, ham radio, privacy tools, FOIA software, alt-news podcasts, documentaries, books, conferences, and serious-preparedness brands.

Brand standards

We curate every sponsor. That's the value.

The trust readers extend to the cited record is the same trust they extend to whoever sits next to it. A single bad sponsor undoes a year of brand work — so we don't take them. Every placement is direct, every brand reviewed, every sponsored piece labeled.

Categories we accept

  • Telescopes, ham radio, and night-sky tech
  • Privacy tools (VPNs, secure email, encrypted messaging)
  • Documentary streamers and serious history content
  • Books and authors in the declassified-records space
  • FOIA + document-research software
  • Serious-preparedness brands (food, water, energy)
  • Aerospace and space-tourism brand awareness
  • AI research tools and developer software

Categories we don't

  • Programmatic / open-exchange / banner-farm networks
  • Alt-health supplements and 'doctors don't want you to know' brands
  • Doomer prepper / fear-merchant brands
  • Crypto / NFT speculation
  • Political campaigns or PACs
  • Anything we wouldn't be proud to share with the audience
