Advertising Disclosure

Last updated: January 8, 2026

Kensington is committed to transparency in all our business relationships and communications. This Advertising Disclosure explains how we may earn income through various advertising arrangements and partnerships, and how this relates to the content and recommendations we provide.

Our Commitment to Transparency

We believe you have a right to know about any financial relationships that might influence the content you see on our website. This disclosure policy ensures you can make informed decisions about the information and recommendations we provide.

Our primary business is providing professional consulting services directly to clients. Any advertising or affiliate relationships are disclosed clearly and do not compromise the quality or objectivity of our consulting work.

Affiliate Relationships

Participation in Affiliate Programs

Kensington may participate in affiliate marketing programs. This means we may earn commissions when you click on certain links to third-party products or services and make a purchase. These affiliate relationships include:

• • Business Software and Tools: We may recommend business management software, analytics platforms, or productivity tools that offer affiliate programmes
• • Professional Development Resources: Links to books, courses, or training materials relevant to business leadership and management
• • Business Services: Referrals to complementary professional services such as legal, accounting, or technology providers

How Affiliate Commissions Work

When you purchase products or services through affiliate links on our website, the vendor pays us a commission at no additional cost to you. The price you pay remains the same whether you use our affiliate link or go directly to the vendor's website.

Our Recommendation Policy

We only recommend products, services, or resources that we believe offer genuine value. Our recommendations are based on:

• • Professional assessment of quality and suitability for business needs
• • Direct experience using the product or service ourselves or with clients
• • Thorough evaluation of alternatives in the market
• • Consideration of cost-effectiveness and return on investment

The existence of an affiliate relationship does not influence whether we recommend a product. We recommend products we believe are valuable, and when affiliate programs exist for those products, we participate in them.

Sponsored Content

Identification of Sponsored Material

From time to time, we may publish sponsored content or partner with brands to create informational materials. All sponsored content is clearly identified with disclosures such as:

• • "Sponsored" or "Paid Partnership" labels
• • Clear statements at the beginning of articles or posts
• • Visual indicators distinguishing sponsored from editorial content

Editorial Independence

While we may receive compensation for sponsored content, we maintain editorial control and integrity. Sponsored content must:

• • Provide genuine value and relevant information to our audience
• • Align with our professional standards and values
• • Be factually accurate and not misleading
• • Be clearly distinguishable from our independent editorial content

Brand Partnerships

We may establish longer-term partnerships with brands whose products or services align with our mission to support business growth. These partnerships allow us to provide additional resources to our audience while maintaining our commitment to quality and objectivity. All such partnerships are disclosed when relevant content is published.
