Lakbima News offers advertising, sponsored content and commercial partnership opportunities for businesses, organisations and campaigns looking to reach an English-language digital news audience.
Campaigns can be built around visibility, brand awareness, product launches, corporate communication or sponsored storytelling.
Different campaigns need different things. Some need visibility. Others need space to explain a product, launch or idea properly. Our commercial options are designed around the campaign rather than forcing every advertiser into the same format.
Why Lakbima News
Advertising options
Website advertising
Display placements can be arranged across suitable areas of lakbimanews.lk depending on campaign requirements, availability and placement.
Sponsored content
Sponsored articles provide businesses and organisations with room to communicate a story, announcement, initiative, product or campaign in a longer editorial-style format. Commercial material is labelled clearly as sponsored content.
Integrated partnerships
For larger campaigns, commercial arrangements may combine suitable display placements, sponsored material and other agreed digital exposure.
Special projects
Organisations with a specific campaign, event, launch or audience requirement can contact our commercial team to discuss a tailored arrangement.
Sponsored content
Sponsored content can give a company or organisation more room than a traditional advertisement to explain what it is doing and why it may be relevant to readers.
Suitable subjects can include company announcements, product or service launches, industry developments, events, educational initiatives and other commercial communications.
Publication remains subject to review. Material that is misleading, unlawful or unsuitable for the publication may be declined.
How it is identified
- Sponsored material is labelled clearly.
- Commercial content remains separate from independent reporting.
- Payment does not guarantee favourable editorial coverage elsewhere.
- Claims may require supporting information before publication.
- Final publication remains subject to Lakbima News standards.
Audience and campaign information
Need audience information?
Available campaign information, placement options and relevant audience data can be discussed directly with advertisers when planning a campaign.
No inflated numbers.
We prefer to provide current information rather than publishing old traffic figures that may no longer reflect the site at the time of your campaign.
Planning a campaign
You do not need a finished advertising brief before contacting us. A few basic details, however, help us understand what you need.
Advertising does not buy editorial influence.
Commercial relationships are kept separate from independent editorial decision-making. Advertising or sponsored content does not entitle an advertiser to favourable news coverage or prevent legitimate reporting about the advertiser.
Common questions
Do you publish sponsored articles?
Yes. Sponsored material is reviewed before publication and is identified clearly as commercial content.
Can an agency book advertising for a client?
Yes. Agencies and authorised representatives can contact the commercial team on behalf of clients.
Can we guarantee where an advertisement will appear?
Placement depends on availability and the campaign arrangement. Confirm any required placement with the commercial team before booking.
Does sponsored content affect news coverage?
No. Paid material and independent editorial coverage are treated separately.
Can Lakbima News reject an advertisement?
Yes. Advertising or sponsored material may be declined when it conflicts with legal requirements, publication standards or the interests of readers.
