Stop Renting Visibility. Start Owning the Conversation.

The Test Community Network (TCN) is more than a sharing platform for industry content; it's an intelligence engine that gives you insight, and more importantly, visibility away from the noise.

The assessment industry to date has been driven by tradition. Big set-piece conferences and events that we once found expensive, but are now extortionate. And what do you get? A logo on a lanyard or a booth in a quiet exhibition hall to chat alone with other vendors. It's a playbook that just draws you into a game of defensive marketing. A trap you can never leave.

You need results, you need to understand intent, you need to be seen as innovative.

Don't get lost in the herd, stand out, own the conversation.

The TCN offers Attention, Ownership, and Intent.

• 930+ Verified Members: We represent the active decision-makers in global awarding and professional assessment organisations.
• 45% Open Rates: Our weekly briefings achieve engagement rates triple the industry average because we filter the noise.
• High-Intent Data: We know what the industry is searching for before they talk to suppliers.

In 2026, we are offering four ways for forward-thinking vendors to partner with us. We do not sell "slots"; we sell Category Ownership.

1. Sponsored Interview (Weekly Series)

For Product Updates & Thought Leadership
Best for: Targeted audience engagement without long-term commitment.

Get featured in our weekly interview series with an audience of 930+ verified industry leaders. We work with you to target the specific audience and topic that matters most to your brand.

• The Interview: 15–20 minute recorded conversation tailored to your product launch, research, or expertise.
• Audience Targeting: We help you reach the right people by role, organisation type, and interest.
• Your Recording: The recording will be provided to you for promotion and social use.

2. Market Intelligence Subscription (Coming Soon)

For Sales Directors & Commercial Teams
Best for: Teams that need leads and data, not branding.

Stop guessing what the market wants. Our platform captures hundreds of data insights from awarding bodies and professional certification providers every month. We strip away the noise and give you the signal.

• Quarterly Intent Report: A dashboard showing the top search terms, rising "pains," and declining trends.
• Competitor Analysis: See where your category is gaining or losing heat.

Investment: £1,000 per annum.

3. The Research Supporter

For Consultants, Universities & Specialist Vendors
Best for: Aligning with evidence-based practice and thought leadership.

Support the science. The TCN runs "Research Sprints": agile, 90-day deep dives into burning industry questions (e.g., "The Impact of AI on Marking") via the TCN research platform.

• Brand Alignment: Your logo on the final research report, positioned as a supporter of industry truth.
• Data Access: Early access to the anonymised findings before they are released to the public.
• Newsletter Recognition: Acknowledgement in the sprint launch and wrap-up emails.

Investment: £1,500 per sprint.

4. The Ecosystem Voice (Monthly Takeover)

For Agile Challengers & Niche Specialists
Best for: High-frequency engagement without the heavy lifting of a full webinar series.

Become the voice of the industry for one month. Instead of a sales pitch, you support the community's weekly conversations.

• Weekly Update Sponsorship: "This month's intelligence is powered by [Your Name]" on 4 consecutive episodes/newsletters.
• The Fireside Chat: One 15-minute recorded interview with TCN Founder Tim Burnett. No slides, no scripts, just genuine industry insight.
• Editorial Feature: A dedicated "Spotlight" in our newsletter (sent to 930+ leaders).

Investment: £2,000 per month. (Limited availability per quarter)

5. The Season Co-host (Quarterly Ownership)

For Market Leaders & Major Product Launches
Best for: Owning a narrative (e.g., Security, Efficiency, AI).

Don't just sponsor a webinar; own the entire quarter. As a Season Co-host, you align your brand with the industry's most critical "crisis periods." You become the solution to the problem everyone is discussing.

• The Webinar Series: You co-host a 3-part webinar series on your chosen theme during one 2026 season (Jan–Mar (Sold), Apr–Jun, Jul–Sep, or Oct–Dec).

Investment: From £3,500 per quarter. (Limited to 1 partner per season)
