Analytics & editorial planning
You fund the production of the story. Techinika's editors investigate, report, interview and write it — and control the editorial treatment. Clients can provide information, access and fact-checks, but cannot dictate the editorial conclusion.
You pay for brand-controlled messaging. The client chooses topic, angle, key messages, CTA, links and positioning. Every piece is clearly marked Sponsored / Commercial Content.

Frequently Asked Questions
What's the difference between a Story Commission and a Sponsored Story?
A Story Commission funds journalistic production: Techinika's editors investigate, report and write the story, and editorial control stays with Techinika. A Sponsored Story is brand-controlled messaging — the client chooses the topic, angle, key messages and CTA, and it is clearly labelled Sponsored.
Are sponsored stories marked as commercial content?
Yes. Every sponsored piece is clearly labelled Sponsored / Commercial Content on Techinika.com, so readers always know what is editorial and what is paid.
Can clients dictate the angle of a commissioned story?
Clients can provide information, access to people, and fact-check factual errors — but the editorial conclusion is decided by Techinika's editors. That independence is what keeps our reporting credible.
How long is a story available online?
Commissioned and sponsored stories are published on Techinika.com and maintained as part of our editorial archive.
Do partnerships require a minimum commitment?
Content and Media Partnerships run for a minimum of three months, with monthly, quarterly and custom scopes available.
