Who reads Koda? Operators and builders: people choosing models, buying tools, and shipping AI into real workflows. That focus is the entire editorial product, from the Token Tracker to The Lab. Verified audience statistics are available on request and updated in the media kit as the list grows. We publish real numbers or none at all.
03 / PLACEMENTS
Where your brand sits.
Three placements, all inside the briefing itself. No sidebars, no banner blindness. Every mockup below shows the real position in a real issue.

- check_circleYour logo, up to 100 words, and 1 CTA link.
- check_circleCopy due 48 hours before send.
- check_circleWe write or polish the copy in Koda's voice, so it reads like the briefing, not an interruption.

05 / WHY IT WORKS
AI readers are in-market by definition.
The AI vertical is the highest-CPM niche in newsletters, and the reason is simple: the readers are not browsing. They are evaluating tools, comparing model prices, and deciding what their team ships with next quarter. A reader mid-decision is worth more than a thousand impressions on someone who is not.
AI buyers also carry high lifetime value. Most AI tools are subscriptions, so one converted reader pays back for years. That is why even a small, sharp list clears an advertiser's acquisition bar, and why sponsors of AI briefings keep rebooking.
And on Koda, the placement never expires. Every issue lives on a permanent archive page, so your slot keeps working after the send.
