We help developers, and the companies they work for, stay up-to-date by informing them of the latest developments on the tools and technologies they use every day. If you want to reach software developers keeping an eye out for new tools, services and technologies, we can help.
Our main focus is on the publication of weekly email newsletters with high levels of engagement and net open rates of 30%-60%. Our sponsors typically get great levels of engagement from our readers.
Our sponsors benefit not just from appearing within our publications, but things we link to frequently get reposted or spread on social media and sites like Hacker News and Reddit.
A variety of opportunities are available for companies interested in reaching software developers in a variety of niches, both in terms of sponsorships and content development. Due to high levels of interest, we maintain a waiting list and take reservations in advance each quarter, so reaching out early is a good idea.
Cooperpress publishes weekly email newsletters to an audience of over 330,000
developers and software engineers.
Many thanks to our recent sponsorsOur sponsors come from many areas of the technology industry including SaaS, infrastructure,
database, recruitment, and educational services.

Cooper Press Ltd. (the Publisher) is a publisher of digital publications, including JavaScript Weekly, FrontEnd Focus, Node Weekly, React Status, Ruby Weekly, DB Weekly, Postgres Weekly, Mobile Web Weekly, and Webops Weekly. The Cooper Press Ltd. Terms and Conditions for these publications are incorporated herein, and Advertiser agrees to comply with such terms.
ACCEPTANCE OF ADVERTISING All materials supplied for use in advertising or sponsorship insertions are subject to the review and approval of the Publisher. The Publisher may, in its discretion, suggest and require edits or reject material submitted by the Advertiser with rationale.
The Publisher will endeavor to publish advertisements promptly and accurately. The Advertiser shall notify the Publisher of any errors immediately. Upon notification, errors will be corrected in Publisher’s archives, as well as in the next available comparable insertion within the same order, as determined by the Publisher. From time to time and in exceptional situations, the Publisher may choose to publish an issue late or on a different day to its typical publication, in which case insertions by the Advertiser may be published on a different date to that ordered. In such cases, the Advertiser will be notified in advance. If an issue is cancelled entirely, remedies as outlined in ‘Cancellation’ will apply.
MATERIAL SPECIFICATIONS Specifcations for the material included in any insertion are provided by the Publisher in communications associated with all orders but may also be referenced at https://cooperpress.com/specs. All submissions to the Publisher hereunder will comply with all such applicable elements. The Advertiser acknowledges that time is of the essence in providing the foregoing to the Publisher, and the Advertiser’s failure to meet the time requirements or any applicable specifications may delay or prevent delivery of the insertions hereunder. Unless otherwise specified, all materials for a specific insertion must be supplied 2 full-days prior to the publication date for that specific insertion. In the case of late or non-supply of material, previously used material may be reused by the Publisher, or in the case of a total non-supply, the Publisher may produce material it considers suitable for publication on behalf of the Advertiser.
CANCELLATIONPrior to the publication of any scheduled insertion in a single order, either party may cancel the order (or any part thereof) and/or this Agreement at any time on ____ days’ written notice to the other party (if the foregoing blank is not filled in, the parties agree the stated time limit shall be thirty (30) days). If the Advertiser has already paid the Publisher for the order and no scheduled insertion has been published or is due to be published in the following 7 days, the Publisher will refund to the Advertiser the full fees presently paid unless other arrangements have been made.
If the Publisher fails to run an insertion (even if late) or ceases to publish a publication, the Advertiser may demand that the Publisher refund any fees applicable to that insertion, and in the case of ceasing a publication, may demand a refund of all fees applicable to that publication.
IF EITHER PARTY CANCELS, ADVERTISER’S SOLE REMEDY WILL BE A REFUND OF ANY PRE-PAID FEES IN EXCESS OF THE FEES OWED TO COOPER PRESS LTD. FOR THE INSERTIONS DELIVERED PRIOR TO CANCELLATION OR TO BE DELIVERED IN THE FOLLOWING 7 DAYS.
RESPONSIBILITY FOR MATERIAL The Advertiser represents and warrants to the Publisher that it is authorized to publish the contents and subject matter supplied in all materials (including, without limitation, all text and graphics), and that all materials comply with applicable laws and regulations. The Advertiser represents it has the corporate rights, power and authority to enter into this Agreement and to perform the acts required of it hereunder, and its execution of this Agreement does not and will not violate any agreement to which it is a party or by which it is otherwise bound, or any applicable law, rule or regulation. In consideration of the publication of advertisements, the Advertiser agrees unconditionally to indemnify and hold harmless Cooper Press Ltd. and its affiliates from and against any and all loss, liability and expense suffered or incurred by reason of any claims, proceedings or suits based on or arising out the contents or subject matter of such advertising material, including without limitation claims for defamation, violation of rights of publicity and/or privacy, copyright infringement, and trademark infringement and/or a breach by Advertiser of any representation, warranty or obligation to be performed by Advertiser hereunder.
COMMITMENT AND PAYMENT TERMS By submitting an order (not merely a request for proposal or quote) for advertising to the Publisher, the Advertiser agrees to be liable for the cost of such order. Unless otherwise agreed, Advertiser will pay the Publisher the total fee due for all insertions on a single insertion order in a single payment. In addition to all other rights and remedies, the Publisher may cancel and remove any insertions that are not paid for on a timely basis.
NO REPRESENTATIONS, WARRANTIES OR DAMAGESALL SERVICES PROVIDED TO THE ADVERTISER THAT ARE THE SUBJECT OF THESE TERMS AND CONDITIONS ARE PROVIDED WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY NATURE, AND COOPER PRESS LTD. DISCLAIMS ALL WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION ANY IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. IN NO EVENT SHALL COOPER PRESS LTD. BE LIABLE TO ADVERTISER FOR AN AMOUNT IN EXCESS OF THE TOTAL DOLLAR AMOUNT ACTUALLY RECEIVED BY COOPER PRESS LTD. FROM ADVERTISER FOR THE INSERTIONS AT ISSUE.
GENERAL PROVISIONSUnless otherwise agreed, these terms and conditions are governed by the laws of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland. No joint venture, partnership, employment, or agency relationship exists between Advertiser and Publisher. If any provision of these standard terms and conditions is found invalid or unenforceable pursuant to judicial decree or decision, the remaining provisions shall remain valid and enforceable, and the unenforceable provisions shall be deemed modified to the extent necessary to make them enforceable.
