Advertorial

The bridge between a cold news reader and a qualified lead, editorial trust, funnel conversion

<500ms

Lead delivery to your CRM via webhook or API the moment a form is submitted

The problem

Native ads fail when the funnel starts at the click.

Most native ad campaigns send traffic directly to a product page or a generic lead form. The reader clicked because something in the headline caught their attention, they haven't been sold, they haven't been educated and they don't know who you are yet. Asking for their details at that point is too much, too soon.

The advertorial fixes this. It's a page that reads like the editorial content the reader just came from, authoritative, informative, built around a problem or question they already care about. It earns the click before it asks for anything.

By the time a reader reaches the lead capture flow, they've been qualified by the article itself. The people who submit are the people who should submit. The ones who weren't right didn't make it that far.

Native ad → product page

Cold reader, zero context, bounce rate over 90%

Generic lead form after click

Unqualified submissions, high CPL, team time wasted

No advertorial layer

Trust gap never closed, reader doesn't know why they should care

Email-based lead notification

5-15 minute delay before rep awareness, lead goes cold

No source attribution in CRM

Can't tie revenue back to campaign, publisher or creative

The system

Ad. Advertorial. Capture. Deliver.

Four connected steps, each one doing a specific job, each one informed by the volume we've run on these platforms.

01

Taboola · Outbrain

Native ad creative

We write headlines and select images built to blend into the editorial feed and stop the right reader. Native ad creative follows different rules to display, curiosity-driven headlines, authentic images, emotional hooks. We've tested enough volume to know what converts by category and by platform.

02

Advertorial

Advertorial landing page

Traffic lands on an advertorial, a page that reads like editorial content and converts like a funnel. It builds context, answers objections and earns trust before asking for anything. This is the bridge between a cold reader on a news site and a qualified lead in your CRM.

03

Capture

Lead capture flow

At the point of maximum intent, after the advertorial has done its job, the reader enters a lead capture flow. Short, focused, pre-qualified. We design the form or quiz to gather exactly what your team needs to qualify and prioritise the lead before it arrives.

04

Delivery

Instant CRM delivery

Every lead delivered to your CRM via webhook or API in under a second, with full source attribution, campaign data and segment tags. Your team gets an instant alert. The lead enters the right follow-up sequence automatically. Nothing manual. Nothing delayed.

The advertorial

Reads like editorial. Converts like a funnel.

The advertorial is the highest-leverage part of the native funnel. It's the reason a reader who clicked a curiosity headline, with no prior awareness of your brand, ends up submitting their details ten minutes later.

We write advertorials that start with the reader's problem, not your product. They build authority, surface urgency and handle objections before the reader even reaches the form. By the end of the page, the lead capture is almost incidental, the reader is asking themselves why they haven't done this already.

Every advertorial is written for a specific offer, a specific audience and a specific platform. We don't use templates. We've written enough of these, across financial services, insurance, property, education and recruitment, to know what works.

What a good advertorial does

  • Opens with the reader's problem, not your product
  • Builds authority through evidence, data and specificity
  • Surfaces urgency without manufactured pressure
  • Handles the top three objections before they're raised
  • Delivers the reader to the form already pre-sold

  • Structured around financial services conversion patterns we've observed at scale

Who it's for

Built for categories where trust is the barrier

Financial services and insurance

Mortgages, life insurance, investment products, debt solutions, pensions, protection

This is where we've built most of our volume. Financial products require education before conversion, the advertorial format is the most effective way to build that trust at scale, on a platform where readers are already in a content-consumption mindset.

  • Advertorial format matches reader intent on news platforms
  • Full compliance-aware copywriting approach

High-consideration B2C categories

Property, education, recruitment, legal services, health and wellness, home improvement

Any category where the decision takes research and the reader needs to understand the offer before committing is a natural fit for the advertorial funnel. News traffic audiences skew toward considered, research-mode buyers, the advertorial meets them where they are.

  • Qualified leads from audiences in research mode
  • Lower CPL than paid search for awareness-stage prospects
  • Same instant CRM delivery as all NLA funnels
