Placement types
How a placement can appear.
- Sponsored article: A labeled sponsored piece, reviewed against the same editorial and quality-gate requirements as every other article.
- Newsletter placement: A disclosed placement within an issue of The Signal.
- Banner placement: A clearly labeled on-site placement, scoped to specific dates.
- Social placement: A disclosed placement in social distribution of coverage.
Every placement has a start date and, where applicable, an end date -- nothing runs indefinitely by default.
Disclosure
Every placement is labeled.
Shift Signal may earn commissions from qualifying purchases through affiliate links. These do not affect our editorial decisions.
A sponsored article carries a visible sponsor label and cannot be published without the same disclosure text and quality-gate checks required of every article -- there is no publishing path that skips this.
Editorial independence
Sponsors do not set coverage.
Shift Signal is a separate editorial publication operated by Vela Logistics LLC. Vela Logistics LLC also operates services within the logistics and courier industry and may be discussed or advertised on this publication. Sponsored placements, affiliate relationships, and commercial content are clearly labeled. Editorial conclusions are not determined by advertisers.
A sponsor may fund a placement. A sponsor does not review, approve, or influence the editorial conclusions of unrelated coverage. See our full disclosure and editorial policy.
