Accuracy policy

How we source

  1. 1

    We never invent

    No campaigns, statistics, quotes, results or companies are made up. If we can't verify it, we don't publish it as fact.

  2. 2

    News comes straight from publishers

    Headlines, dates, summaries and links are pulled from each publication's public RSS (really simple syndication, a news feed format) feed and shown unchanged. We don't rewrite news stories.

  3. 3

    Every claim has a source

    Each campaign fact and statistic links to the original article, with its publication name and date.

  4. 4

    Reporting and opinion are separate

    Anything that is our view has a dashed orange border and is labelled Our analysis, Our suggestion or Hypothetical.

  5. 5

    Success needs evidence

    We only label a campaign successful when a source reports results, awards or measurable outcomes. Attention alone is labelled High visibility / strong public attention, and missing data is stated plainly.

  6. 6

    Self-reported numbers are flagged

    When figures come from the brand or agency itself, we say so.

  7. 7

    Ideas are clearly hypothetical

    The Ideas lab shows how real mechanics could be used. Those are not real campaigns, and the brands named aren't involved.
