APMdigest is an online authority in the Application Performance Management (APM) technology market. For more than 10 years APMdigest has been the industry's only online publication focused specifically on APM, Observability, AIOps and related technologies. The goal of APMdigest is to bring the industry together by providing a platform for thought leaders such as analysts, consultants, service providers, vendors and users. As our sponsors help us meet this objective, they also gain the advantages of market exposure, brand awareness, lead generation and thought leadership.

APMdigest sponsorships provide at least one banner ad on every page of the site. But APMdigest is about much more than ads. That is why we call it a "sponsor" program, rather than just advertising. The truth is that many website visitors can block ads, but APMdigest is designed to bypass ad-blocking by providing multiple additional options to drive traffic back to the sponsor's website — all included in one economical sponsorship price. In addition to ads, sponsors can post the following:

■ Upcoming webinars
■ On-demand webinars
■ Videos (5 minutes or less)
■ White papers/ebooks/reports/analyst reports
■ Free tools/trials
■ Featured products
■ Case studies
■ Promotional links in blogs, news and the APM Buyers guide

All of these assets link directly back to the sponsor's designated landing or registration page (except for videos).

APMdigest offers 3 levels of sponsorship: Platinum, Gold and Silver. Scroll down to find out what each sponsorship level includes.

Sponsorship Level Comparison Chart

A recent Platinum ad on APMdigest rec'd 5800+ clicks in 5 months. While APMdigest cannot guarantee that level of performance for every ad — since the performance is based on a variety of factors — it shows the potential is there.

In addition to the 3 sponsorship levels, APMdigest can provide a custom-designed sponsored microsite, featuring all sponsored content. For example, CA Technologies sponsored APM Academy — a microsite within APMdigest — from 2016-2019.
