CBD Top 5 field guide

Advertise With CBD Top 5

CBD Top 5 helps CBD-curious consumers and experienced shoppers understand products, labels, laboratory reports and industry changes through a consistent five-part editorial format.

The commercial line is simple: brands may sponsor access to our audience, but they may not purchase a score, position or Top 5 designation.

Advertising opportunities

  • Display sponsorships: clearly identified placements across guides and magazine coverage.
  • Sponsored brand profiles: labeled features that explain a company, product line or process.
  • Sponsored educational content: fact-checked five-part explainers with the sponsor identified prominently.
  • Newsletter placements: labeled messages within future CBD Top 5 email editions.
  • Research and category sponsorships: support for data gathering without control over scoring, findings or conclusions.

What advertisers cannot buy

  • A position on a Top 5 list.
  • Additional review points or a guaranteed positive conclusion.
  • Removal of accurate criticism or missing-evidence disclosures.
  • Unlabeled promotional content.
  • Unsupported medical or disease-treatment claims.

Creative and claim review

Advertising must be identifiable, factually supportable and appropriate for an educational publication. CBD Top 5 may reject or request changes to copy that makes unsupported safety, treatment, cure or prevention claims. The FTC has taken action against deceptively marketed CBD health claims; advertisers remain responsible for substantiating their own representations.
