Connect with restaurant technology buyers.

Global Payments
March–May 2026, including added-value delivery
Starfleet Media ran this restaurant-focused campaign promoting Genius POS across Restaurant Technology News and our extended network of industry publication partners.
The program delivered 435,822 impressions above its 450,000-impression commitment, approximately 97% more than contracted. Added-value placements extended visibility beyond the original March–April flight; reporting includes activity through the week ending May 16.
Figures reflect reported display activity across each program's publication mix. Impressions are ad exposures, not unique people; clicks are not qualified leads. Email, paid search and lead generation are excluded. These results cover restaurant-focused campaigns across RTN and the participating network publications.
An integrated RTN campaign
Connect sponsored content, advertising and targeted email.
A coordinated program can give prospective customers several ways to discover a solution, understand its value and take the next step.
Yelp for Restaurants
Historical three-month campaign promoting Yelp Guest Manager
Starfleet Media ran this integrated campaign across Restaurant Technology News and our extended network of industry publication partners. We combined sponsored content, banner advertising, targeted email and partner promotion around Yelp Guest Manager, alongside other editorial coverage.
The content gave restaurant operators several ways to engage, from a customer success story and product overview to a direct invitation to book a demonstration.
Our team managed the program across these channels, helping Yelp build familiarity with restaurant operators and giving interested prospects a clear next step.
Results are reported in the original campaign case study and cover the integrated program, rather than display advertising alone. The demo offer included a $100 gift-card incentive. Lead qualification reflects that campaign's criteria.
