The Publisher

Tickstock is published by The Creamery Media Company, a company registered in Ireland.

The company is fully editorially independent. There is no parent company directing coverage, no investor base with a veto on editorial choices, and no external financial relationship that compromises the standards documented elsewhere on this site.

Funding Model

How TickStock Pays for Itself

TickStock's revenue at launch comes from advertising, and we have a subscription product in development.

  • Advertising. Display advertising, sponsorship of specific editorial sections, and newsletter sponsorships. Editorial decisions are not made on the basis of advertiser preference. Sponsored content, where any exists, is clearly labelled.
  • Subscriptions. A paid subscription product is in development. During the launch period the website experience is free in full so the publication can establish itself, and so launch coverage isn't gated.

What TickStock Does Not Take

  • No issuer-paid coverage. TickStock does not accept payment from listed companies for coverage of those companies.
  • No equity, options, or token compensation from coverage subjects.
  • No paid-for placement dressed up as editorial.

Editorial Independence

The funding model is designed to keep editorial decisions structurally separate from commercial decisions:

  • Editorial standards are identical for advertisers, sponsors, and any other party — the ethics page describes the conflict-of-interest treatment in full.
  • Editorial leadership has authority to publish coverage that affects commercial relationships without commercial sign-off.
  • Disclosures appear in coverage where any commercial overlap between TickStock and a coverage subject exists.

Material Changes

Tickstock will disclose any material change to the publisher's ownership, funding model, or editorial control on this page. "Material" here means: any change to the controlling party, any external investment that creates a stake of 10% or more, any acquisition or divestiture, and any change to the funding model that affects the editorial-commercial separation described above.
